The Loft Lounge at Granary Road has extended their summer hours on Friday and Saturday nights. Hubby and I enjoyed dinner there this past weekend and it was great going to their after the market had closed.
Granary Road closes at 5:30 but on Fridays and Saturdays, The Loft Lounge is open until 8. That means, even more of an opportunity to check out their Canadiana fare and enjoy award winning beers, wine and hand-crafted cocktails. It was a different vibe being in the space when the market was closed.

It’s that time of year again – Stampede!! Q and I headed to the grounds yesterday to check out what was new and, of course, try some good eats.

If you don’t already know, I am a sucker for a good dip. Whether it be for veggies or chips, dips are just one of my favourite things to serve at a party. So, for Superbowl Sunday, it just makes sense to have a delicious dip to add to the spread. I knew it had to be hot and cheesy and this hot crab dip fits the bill.

I know, it’s Fall and feels like Winter and definitely the time for comfort food. Comfort food like soups and stews and casseroles are the usual things that come to mind but this salad may also provide you with the comfort you need.

As the kids head back to school, and we start worrying about what to pack for snacks and lunches, one meal that cannot be forgotten is breakfast. Let’s face it, sometimes the kids don’t eat at school. There are more important things to do sometimes and the last thing we want to see is an uneaten lunch.
That’s why, making sure that the kids have a good breakfast is so important. We may not be able to control what they do and don’t eat at school, but we can make sure that they head to school with full bellies.
Hamilton Beach makes breakfasts easy with items like their Breakfast Sandwich Maker and Skillet.

This post is my submission for the Mushrooms Appetizer Spotlight Contest which is open to members of Food Bloggers of Canada. The contest is sponsored by Mushrooms Canada for a chance to win 1 Full Conference Pass to FBC 2017.
Summer days for us in Canada mean we are usually outside, grilling our food, and enjoying time with friends and family. We try to make the most of our short summers, so we try to cook as may meals on the bbq as we can.
Anyone who knows me know that I love appetizers and could eat a whole meal of them. We have done a few appetizer parties and they have always been a hit. It’s always fun to come up with the perfect bite so I loved that this contest meant coming up with an appetizer that showcased mushrooms. These mushroom jalapeno poppers are filling and pack a punch.
