Brock Sandwich – Toronto

If you like sandwiches (and who doesn’t?!?!), you should check out Brock Sandwich on Bloor. Located in the heart of what I consider the least important part of Bloor (1260 Bloor St W) right across from several unfortunate “gentleman’s clubs” and even more vintage clothing stores, this little restaurant is worth the venture. The prices …

I made mine with wheat germ, blueberries, dried currants and coconut but the possibilities are endless as long as …

The Burger’s Priest, Toronto

On a mission to stifle a burger craving we found ourselves driving by a little place in the east end of Toronto known as “The Burger’s Priest” (Queen and Coxwell).

New Generation Sushi on Bloor

Located west of Spadina on Bloor, this busy Toronto restaurant definitely caters to the nearby university crowd with their affordable pricing, quick service and good food. It’s become a bit of a regular spot for dinner for two very tired chefs providing enough nutrition for us to consider it a blessing that neither one of …

First night of the $20 Challenge

Last night we created a meal from scratch that was both economical and extremely tasty. Our asian inspired meal included a spicy vegetable stir-fry (zucchini, snow peas, broccoli, botton mushrooms and green peppers), coconut chicken and a serving of rice. The chicken was sauteed off with onions and then simmered with coconut milk and cream. …
