Firehouse Subs

Firehouse Subs

170 Kingston Rd E Unit 4A, Ajax, ON L1Z 0C7 I first learned about Firehouse Subs when a commercial for it came on TV one evening. Thinking they were only in the U.S, I wished that there were more sub-options in Canada. Curiosity got the …

Chris Jerk

Chris Jerk

2570 Birchmount Rd, Scarborough, ON M1T 2M5 Someone suggested Chris Jerk when my co-workers and I were trying to decide where to go to grab lunch one day at work (before covid-19 and working from home every day began). That was the first time I …

Pan Fried Steak

Pan Fried Steak

Sometimes there’s nothing better than eating a good steak…yummy! I used to think that making steaks at home can’t compare to the steaks at steak restaurants like The Keg until I pan fried some ribeye steak recently. I might have lucked out this time, but …

Main’s Mansion

Main’s Mansion

144 Main St N, Markham, ON L3P 5T3 I don’t typically like going out for breakfast because I feel like most of it is food I can make at home myself for less than half the cost, that is until I had breakfast at Main’s …

Francesca Bakery

Francesca Bakery

Poke Guys

8110 Birchmount Rd #10, Markham, ON L6G 0E3 Maybe I just wasn’t aware of poke before I went to Hawaii in 2014, but poke bowls seem to be pretty popular in the GTA the last few years. Imagine sashimi on top of rice along with …

Local Leaside

180 Laird Dr, East York, ON M4G 3V7 Patios have been even more popular this year due to covid-19 and the limitations of eating inside. If you want a good one to go to in midtown Toronto, you should definitely try Local Leaside, near Leslie …

Oven-Baked Salmon

Oven-Baked Salmon

I discovered that my oven-baked salmon is actually decent when I first brought it as my pot luck dish for my family’s Christmas dinner one year. My aunt said the salmon was really good and asked me if I had bought it from somewhere. I didn’t think …

Buster’s Sea Cove

Buster’s Sea Cove

93 Front St E, Toronto, ON M5E 1C3 I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I find it really difficult to find good lobster in the GTA. Most restaurants in the GTA that serve lobster only have lobster tails, except for Red lobster …

Instant Pot Cream of Mushroom Soup Chicken

Instant Pot Cream of Mushroom Soup Chicken

I’ve had an Instant Pot for a few years now, but we haven’t used the “Pressure Cook” option too often. My husband and I usually like to slow cook our meat, but sometimes we forget to prep or season and put the meat into the …
