Toronto Eats: Banh Mi Boys {Gastropost Mission #11}

August 10, 2012 Bakeries & Restaurants

Last week’s Gastropost Mission was all about a Toronto Taco Takeover. You guys know I am sort of obsessed with homemade tortillas, weird taco fillings, and making large portions of delicious shredded things in my slowcooker, but instead of making tacos at home, I decided to venture out. This was influenced by a variety of […]

Falafel Tacos + Tahini Garlic Sauce

March 22, 2012 Vegetables & Beans

Every once in a while I cook something at home that is so delicious, I have to give myself a little pat on the back. It doesn’t happen all that frequently, but this was one of those dinners that I was just so proud of, and couldn’t wait to blog about, not to mention make […]

Black Bean & Sweet Potato Tacos (Halloween Tacos!)

I’ve been on a taco bender ever since I started making my own tortillas at the end of the summer.

Barbecue Sauce

July 4, 2011 Sauces, Dressings, Dips & Salsas

I know I was just talking about the Smokin’ Stampede BBQ sauce I bought at Loblaws after being brainwashed by a Top Chef Canada episode, but did you know it is so easy to make your own barbecue sauce at home? I didn’t, until I saw my old friend Christine Cushing make some coffee barbecue […]

Smoky Beef Tacos & Churro Cupcakes

May 12, 2011 Beef & Pork

Last week I was chatting with my co-worker who moved to Toronto from Mexico a few years ago. I excitedly asked about her Cinco de Mayo plans and was humourlessly informed that it is not celebrated in Mexico and is basically a pointless holiday. Okay then! Since I will latch on to any excuse to eat tacos, […]
