Parks and Food Trucks

Published date October 10, 2021

Continuing on from our North Bay trip, we got up Sunday morning, packed into the car, and got on the road. First stop, South Bay Provincial Park (traditional territories of Michif Piyii, and Anishinabewaki). Or so we thought. Normally I do a more thorough check of our destinations, but didn’t...

Basil Box – Tasty, Fast & Fresh

Published date September 21, 2019

I had the opportunity to go to The Basil Box for the first time this week, and I really liked it. I checked out their website in advance and noticed they had a bunch of great looking vegan sauces, and a tasty looking tofu option – I was really happy...

Udupi Palace – Consistently Great & Kid Friendly

Published date September 8, 2019

It’s become increasingly more important to me that a place be kid friendly when we go out to eat as a family. That can’t be surprising, we have a three year old, and since he was born, our eating habits have changed. Sometimes that involves eating at home more often...

Toronto, ON – Vegan options at Farm’r

Published date August 15, 2018

I recently had the opportunity to visit Farm’r, a local procurement centring, seasonal, farm-to-table style restaurant on the Esplanade. They have a great covered patio outside, and bright cheerful indoor seating, with great lighting. But what I really want to talk about is the food – because I liked it....

Roadtrip 2014 – Lloydminster Vegan Food – Wok Box

Published date April 28, 2015

I’m still writing about our Summer Roadtrip 2014 adventure when we ate our way through the USA and Canada. After one final morning in Saskatoon, we drove on towards Edmonton. On Highway 16/aka Yellowhead, the natural midway point between Saskatoon and Edmonton has always been Lloydminster, which is a city...

This is just a quick post in a series of posts about our 2014 Roadtrip around North America. At this point, we had driven from Toronto, through Michigan, taken an extended stop in Chicago, IL, and driven on through Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, stopping in Winnipeg, MB and Riding Mountain...

Wandering around New York City

Published date January 12, 2015

For the last few weeks we were in New York City, cat sitting and relaxing for a friend of a friend. The nice part about NYC is being able to get nearly anything I want, whenever I want. Maybe it’s the large population in a relatively small area, maybe it’s...

That time I made Samosa Soup

Published date September 23, 2014

So, as of last Thursday, I was obsessed with making Samosa Soup from Yup, it’s Vegan. But we were away in Washington DC, and Baltimore for ExpoEast, and I didn’t have access to a kitchen, but the day we got back I had to make Samosa Soup. The air in Toronto...

Quesadilla for Amazing Vegan Mexican Food in Chicago

Published date August 23, 2014

After spending the day walking around wicker park, JC and I had worked up an appetite. And after repeated recommendations, we had only one place on our mind – Quesadilla La Reyna del Sur, a vegan-friendly (lacto-ovo-vegetarian) Mexican restaurant in the Bucktown area of Chicago. We loved this place, and...

Vegan Night at The Depanneur – Every Wednesday. (and other days too)

Published date December 4, 2013

I don’t think enough people know about The Depanneur (I’m just going to call them The Dep). Or people have heard about them, but don’t realize the rich diversity of options this little food spot has. When I mention it to fellow vegans in town – sometimes they know about it,...
