One of our go-to places for dinner when we don’t feel like cooking is Edo Japan. It’s guilt-free food that everyone in this house loves. We love getting the Sukiyaki Beef and this mamma is happy that it comes with vegetables.
Right now, Edo has their Noodlefull Bowls which are topped with veggies and chicken or beef. Their signature sauce completes the meal.

Hard to believe that it’s been seven years since Food Mamma was first created. So exciting to celebrate another blogiversary!
A lot has changed in the last seven years. What started out as a hobby has turned into something so much more. I never imagined that sharing the love of food and adventures with my family would allow me to connect to a great blogging community. I have made some amazing friends and have met a lot of talented people.

It’s been quite the winter and so I know a lot of us who are thankful for this long weekend we are celebrating in Alberta. We have plans to explore and spend time with friends but also, want to spend a day at home doing nothing….and ordering in!

With just a few more shopping days before Christmas, it may not be possible for your online purchases to get here in time. Time to get to the mall for some last minute shopping! It’s always fun to see the decorations and of course, get a visit in with Santa.
Marlborough Mall has something for everyone! From appliances and clothes from Sears on one end to toys and groceries from Walmart on the other, it can be your one stop mall. It’s easy to run into the bank, update your cell phone plan and even grab a pedicure! On my list is some makeup for me, Paw Patrol swag for the 2 year old, Nintendo DS games for the 8 year old and maybe a stop in at the travel agency to book a getaway with hubby.
Make a date out of it and grab some dinner at one of their many restaurants. Newly opened Brown’s Socialhouse and the Old Spaghetti Factory are some delicious options. I especially loved the Bam Bam Shrimp at the Old Spaghetti Factory and the Biltmore Pizza with shrimp and pesto from Brown’s.
