This year’s food line up at the Calgary Stampede is filled with big flavours, wacky treats and lots to indulge in.
With only 50 days until the 2019 Calgary Stampede, the list of wacky and wonderful midway food was released today. From the 12″ fries to the octopus lollipop, there is something for everyone.

We make these cheesy chicken enchiladas with leftover rotisserie chicken. Makes an easy and tasty dinner that everyone loves.
Around here, rotisserie chicken goes a long way. We eat it for one meal but leftovers are used the next day for a different meal and then the bones are used to make stock. Nothing gets wasted. We use the leftovers in sandwiches, pasta, salads and these enchiladas.

There is so much flavour in this greek and lemon ricotta. Perfect slathered on toast!
Appetizers are my favourite. Especially simple ones that can be whipped up in no time. And even better when made with cheese. I have mentioned that we are cheese freaks right?

Disclaimer: The Loft Lounge hosted us for dinner. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
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.

Today’s a special day. It’s Q’s birthday! How is my baby already 9?!
One of Q’s favourite things to eat, besides sushi and peking duck, is crepes. Who could blame him? Those ruffly golden wrappers are the perfect vessel for Nutella and bananas. Naturally this my little foodie’s birthday breakfast request.

The first time I smelled pumpkin baking was when I was walking the halls of my elementary school a million years ago (or so it seems). The kids in kindergarten had baked some muffins and the delicious smell filtered through the halls. Every time I smell baked pumpkin, it transports me back.
Not much for pumpkin in coffee but pumpkin in cake or muffins, yum! Add in some chocolate? Yes please. I wanted a bread that not only tasted delicious and warm and Fall-like, but one that was moist and this definitely delivers. The cinnamon and all spice delivers with the warmth and the addition of sour cream makes the bread super moist. No dry crumbs here!
