Decadent and Delightful @CucinaFresca
City-dwellers know first hand how hectic life can get, and sometimes all you need is a relaxing evening in, with a big bowl of comfort food–mac & cheese anyone? Cucina Fresca’s line of gourmet mac and cheeses have me drooling, with an assortment of flavors including Sharp Cheddar, Smoked Gruyere, Tangy Gorgonzola, and Creamy Fontina. After trying the Smoked Gruyere flavor at Food Fete this week, I wanted to run to my local Whole Foods grocery store and stock up my freezer!
After a long day, the last thing I want to do is cook myself a meal from scratch. I love the home-cooked taste of Cucina Fresca Mac and Cheese after only 10 minutes in the microwave or the oven. It’s even a great base for flavorful skillet recipes and casseroles! I’m excited to try this Asparagus and Corn Skillet Recipe that I found on the website >>

Whats Your Forte Presents: Soul Food @ Tota
Culinary artist Adrian B.Forte (Whats Your Forte?) and Bryan Butler (Massive Catering) served an amazing dinner last night at Tota (592 Queen Street West). Check out the team that created all these amazing dishes!
Appetizers were either a choice of cornbread or mac and cheese, both with lots of cheese and flavor. Delish! and super cute too!
YUM! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this fried chicken was. It was just slightly dusted and deep-fried with an amazing house sauce that tasted like heaven! I had this with coleslaw and the Bayou salad!
Lastly, the Georgia peach dessert wasn’t too sweet — the perfect ending to this delicious meal!
