This sunny weekend in Toronto we headed over to Kensington Market to go look at produce, okay no, we went to go to Hot Beans in hopes that they would have Boston Cream donuts. No luck on the Boston creams, but they had coconut lime, which still satisfied our quest...

After we went to see the Forks Over Knives, we walked over to Whole Foods and (finally) spotted Rhubarb. I’ve been waiting for its appearance for a few weeks now, so I was really excited about all the new rhubarb possibilities. Strawberries and Rhubarb in any kind of baked good and I’m...

On Wednesday night we had the opportunity to see an advance screening of Forks Over Knives, thanks to Animal Voices. I think it was a really powerful film, the focus on the health impacts of animal protein consumption was fascinating. Someone asked during the Q&A, why throughout the film they...

So the last few days of Veggielicious remained and we played catch up to take advantage of what was out there. This past weekend we went over to Gerrard street to try Udupi Palace’s Veggielicious special. It ended up being their usual special plate, but it included a free soda,...

I was looking forward to visiting Fressen(78 Queen Street West, Toronto) while they were participating in the Veggielicious promo with the TVA. It’s hard to believe how quickly April passed by, all of a sudden we arrived at the last day to try it out at Fressen, since they only...

Today was the first day of Veggielicious, and a group of us headed to Rawlicious in the Junction to take advantage of the specials. I’ve never been to Rawlicious (3092 Dundas Street West, Toronto), so it was a great opportunity to try out a new restaurant and its close proximity...
