I have a new friend. And I think he’s kind of nifty. My new friends name is Simon and he’s a simple man. A simple man that makes some damn good pies! And now some damn good meals. Simple Simon Pies operates out of the Calgary Farmers Market. Simple Simon Pie’s are well known for [...]
Who knew that Corn Grits and Polenta are the same thing? Seriously, who knew? I sure didn’t. Is my anti-domestic goddess showing? Meh, it’s no surprise that I have no idea what I’m doing in the kitchen. I clean one like no one’s business, but cooking in it – that’s a whole other story! Anyhow, [...]
Bob’s Red Mill has done it again – they’ve rolled out some new great GF corn products. And one of those new products is GF Corn Flour. So, how does one talk about corn flour? Saying things like: “It’s a nice yellow colour”, “It has a very nice flour’esq consistency”, and “The label is really [...]
I’ve blogged about this place before, and I am going to do it again? Why? Because a great place deserves a little more attention.

This link is for the cook in your house. The pictures look good and I’m sure the recipes taste good too. Thanks for the heads up Lynds. Happy cooking.
In Okotoks? Hungry? Go see Linda. Who is Linda you ask? She’s the greatest server of all time. Where can she be found you ask? At Cora’s. Cora’s is your classic breakfast joint with a twist – or shall I say, it’s a twisted breakfast joint. Either way, its all about the breakfast. Possibly the [...]
I had an impressive experience. I will caution you here, this story isn’t going to start with the glitz and glamor of a Hollywood movie – it’s going to start a little more like a low budget Zombie flick. But I also promise you, it finishes with a Disney musical number. Last night we went [...]
