National #takeoutday - what are you ordering? Trie National #takeoutday - what are you ordering? Tried Ishtar Canteen, a new Iraqi place at the plaza nearby and it was tasty! Ordered the beef kabab bowl, chicken schnitzel bowl and Hanoot Gus (not pictured). The Beef Gus (kinda like schawarma) was served on Iraqi Samoon bread and was so good! I also really enjoyed the kabab and the kids loved the schnitzel and fries. Loving the new diverse restaurants opening that are showing different Middle Eastern cuisine. We’re definitely ordering again and supporting local.
What’s everyone’s Spring Break plans? I’m wo What’s everyone’s Spring Break plans? I’m working for most of the week and the weather looks terrible. Talk about April showers! Hoping Friday stays clear and we can go out and enjoy some nature. Felt like bagels and whipped up these easy 2 ingredient Air Fryer Greek yogurt bagels by @adventuresofanurse Of course I didn’t have self raising flour so had to add baking powder and salt so technically a 4 ingredient bagel + the topping of Everything bagel seasoning. First time using the AF for bagels and so fast! 15 minutes baby!

You get to pick your items and I went for one mystery one and got artichokes! I’ve never bought fresh artichokes before so this will be fun to work with.
Anyone else lockdown baking? Or maybe it’s just Anyone else lockdown baking? Or maybe it’s just holiday baking? Every time we’re put into lockdown, my anxiety goes up and my baking ensues. The yeast I put into the fridge during our first lockdown last year is still good! Bought some bulk meat from @woodwardmeats today so it’s chuck brisket hamburgers (pre-made) but served on homemade Everything hamburger buns.

Tried @holypizzaoakville tonight and the flavours Tried @holypizzaoakville tonight and the flavours were so complementary! Delivery only, we tried Carnes - red sauce, mozzarella, cup & char pepperoni, sausage crumble, ham, Canadian smoked bacon  and Thai Oh My - hoisin peanut sauce, mozzarella, grilled chicken, red onion, bell pepper, julienne carrots and celery, fresh jalapeños, green onions, purple cabbage, bean sprouts (but we held the bean sprouts and jalapeños on the side). We ordered some onion rings as well and it was served with a side of whiskey BBQ sauce. They have so many more combos of their “Holy Pizza” that we can’t wait to try some more!

Took advantage of the beautiful weather and went f Took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a drive at lunch. Finally went to @ladottaoakville to try their cream puffs and croissants. I tried the coconut mango cream puff and gave the pistachio one to a friend. The coconut mango was delicious. Lightly sweet coconut cream with a surprisingly tart mango on top. The smoked salmon croissant had a chive cream cheese, cucumbers and capers. A perfect lunch.
