Good Eats: Dinner, Lunch, Snacks with @gardein
I can’t remember the last time I cooked, and I mean cooked, cooked. As in cooked a good meal. Ever since taking on a promotion, and another job, the only thing I have time for is sleep, and even then I don’t get much. So I’ve basically been living off of avocados (lots of avocados), cucumbers, the occasional Sullivan & Bleeker red velvet cookie, and these AMAZING new meatless products by Gardein that I recently discovered.
This was the first time I tried Gardein products, and it was a truly marvelous experience. I meant to take a picture, but I was so hungry, and had inhaled my food before I realized that I needed to take a picture… lol
Some of you know that I was vegetarian for a while, then I fell of the wagon (sh*t happens), but I recently went back to being a vegetarian at the beginning of April, and so far I’m loving it! I was a meat eater for the longest time, and I find that sometimes I crave the texture of meat, but not necessarily the meat itself, this is wear Gardein foods come in. They are meatless, a meaty texture, have lots of protein (Garden+Protein= Gardein), and they are DELICIOUS. Did I mention that they don’t take more than 8 minutes to prepare?? *does church dance*
100 calories you say? And it tastes great? I’m in.
Oh… then I had these bad boys.
So delicious! (I like to eat my food out of tupperware, don’t judge me.)
I made a Chili with these: chopped them up, threw in some red kidney beans, mushrooms, and peppers, but they too didn’t make it to photo time, as my hunger got the best of me lol.
I can’t stress how good these Gardein meatless products are… they are SOOOOOO GOOD!
Praise the Lord, this was so good!
You think that they just look like they taste good… No, they taste Fantastic! This is one of my absolute favourites!
In addition to the ones above, I’ve had the sizzling szechuan beefless strips and the sweet and tangy barbecue wings, and I can’t wait to try EVERYTHING else that they offer. I’m still living off of lots of avocados and cucumbers, but these Gardein goodies have definitely brought the spark back into my dinners, lunches, and snacks!
Thank you to Mr. Yves Potin, for making these yummy yummy meatless treats, it definitely makes sticking to being a vegetarian that much easier!
stay healthy!

Good Eats: @GanziToronto Media Preview
We attended the media preview of Osteria Dei Ganzi, one of Toronto’s newest hotspots that offers an authentic Italian dining experience for Toronto foodies. The restaurant is set in a 120 year old historical mansion, with modern-vintage decor. They use DOP (Denomiazione di Origine Protetta-Denomination of Protected Origin) certified ingredients that are imported straight from Italy as well as privately imported regional Italian wines, which you can get by the glass by the way.
“Osteria Dei Ganzi is a tribute to Italian wine, food & culture”- Danny Gunman
PERFECT WAY TO START THE WEEKEND!
Me and the lovely Telly
After indulging in this platter… I need to move to Italy.
Thank you for inviting us, we had a wonderful time!

LOVE down below: @DearKates Toronto Launch
We recently celebrated the launch of Dear Kate, a fun and flirty line of “underthings” that has achieved the ultimate underwear trifecta: absorbency, breathability, and style. I’m always down for a good pair of panties, and these my friends, are every girls panty dream. They look, feel good, and perform excellently! Who ever thought we would be discussing the performance of underwear???
We all gathered on the 4th floor of The Spoke Club which was uniquely decorated with lingerie and panties hanging from the ceiling, and was full of ladies sipping bubbly and talking panties. So what’s the deal with these panties? They are designed with 3 breathable layers: wicking and stain-resistant inner layers and a leak resistant outer layer. You can choose from a selection of lacy thongs, comfy hipsters and retro high rises.
Some of the ladies were getting their panties bedazzled!
This was too funny and so cute!
Yes, those are panties on her head 🙂
Always a pleasure catching up with Kaycee!
The ladies of Lotus Leaf
Make sure you visit the Dear Kate website to get your hands on a pair of their super undies!
