I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Note: This post was written prior to the current COVID-19 pandemic. We were able to visit this restaurant in person at that time. They are still in operations currently via take-out and UberEats, so we decided to publish this post as planned at this time to help #supportlocal. You may have noticed a cute cafe… Continue reading DreamLand Cafe: A Cute Little Restaurant in Little Italy
Social distancing means eating out at a restaurant is no longer an option. Here are a few options for meal planning without having to leave your home. Meal Kit Deliveries I’ve written about these services extensively in my past posts. There are many options even for those with food restrictions (including low carb and vegetarian).… Continue reading Meal Planning While Respecting Social Distancing
With the recent concerns over COVID-19, many people have needed to forgo their holiday plans abroad. This does not mean that we cannot treat ourselves to a staycation in the comfort of our own homes. I recently read “The Little Book of Hygge” by Meik Wiking and was inspired to plan a weekend staycation with… Continue reading Weekend Staycation Guide
We met up with some friends recently in Manotick for some dinner at the Black Dog Bistro. It was our first time here but it’s a favourite of our friends who live near the area.

We finally had the chance to visit THRU, a "concept restaurant" within Atelier. I had such a fun time at Atelier that I’ve been meaning to come back to check out this new addition. I had heard that it was almost impossible to get tickets. Apparently it is usually sold out the moment the tickets… Continue reading THRU: A One-of-a-Kind Dining Experience

Location/Ambience It is located in the… Continue reading Eldon’s
This morning, we wanted to get some gym time in since we’ve been stuffing our faces with good food. We started with a small snack/breakfast at the hotel’s canteenM. They had a buffet option but we elected for the a-la-carte as we only wanted a small meal before our workout. There was plenty of seating… Continue reading Boston Day 4
We took our time getting up this morning as we did not have any specific plans until later this afternoon. We used the T for the first time and headed to the South End. Our brunch reservations weren’t until later so we stopped by Render Coffee first. Our friend, Aimee, highly recommended this coffee shop… Continue reading Boston Day 3
For breakfast this morning, we went to the famous Mike & Patty’s, a cute cozy sandwich shop. They only had very limited seating and it was very crowded when we arrived at 9am on a Saturday. Luckily, the staff there is very efficient and it cleared out quickly. Many people were getting take-out so we… Continue reading Boston Day 2
After an early but short flight from Ottawa to Boston, we arrived at Boston Logan International Airport at around 8:30am. We were very impressed by the seemingly new airport. There were very clear signs to lead us to the waiting area for Uber/Lyft and it was very organized with assigned parking spots for pick up… Continue reading Boston Day 1
