I recently posted a photo on Instagram featuring Harira soup. Harira is a traditional Moroccan chickpea soup, and can also be found around the Maghreb (North Africa). We normally eat Harira during the winter months since it is such a hearty soup. However, this month is the month of Ramadan. For those of you who do not know, Ramadan is one of the holiest months in Islam where…
Do you ever walk into the mall and smell the scent of the baked goodness of a Cinnamon bun? I have to exercise immense self-control whenever I walk past Cinnzeo. However, like many of us, I am only human so if they are offering a sample I never say no. Which inevitably means I go and buy a whole bun for myself. Cinnzeo has an effective marketing tool,…
Santorini is undoubtedly the most romantic island in Greece. You can’t help but feel romantic and starry eyed as you roam this beautiful island. The island is post card perfect with its blue domed churches and white washed homes. The more I swam in the Mediterranean sea the more I fell in love with the island. We had a very rigorous schedule during our time in…
Athens is a densely populated and bustling metropolis with pieces of history nestled in between high rise buildings and cobblestone pathways. As the city centre of Ancient Greece, Athens continues to be a hub of commotion and flow. Typically, many come to Athens to view the historic sites and visit museums. During my trip, the majority of our days were taken up by sightseeing tours. In…
Doesn’t this chocolate pistachio ice cream look divine? I absolutely love ice cream. I am an addict. A fanatic. A connoisseur. I have a deep, deep, deep appreciation for the creamy goodness of ice cream. In Calgary, we have a few artisanal ice cream shops that satisfy my addiction and offer great flavours. But sometimes you have those days where you don’t want to spend $7.00 on…
They say when you travel to Quebec City it is like visiting Paris without going to Europe. Quaint streets are lined with colourful brick buildings, roads are paved with cobblestone, church bells ring in the distance and you can bring a bottle of wine to the park. If you are looking for charm, history, great food and people – then Quebec City is the place for you! Quebec…
StudioBell After Hours is a new initiative in the arts and culture scene. It’s Date Night Calgary is my go-to websites when I need inspiration for date nights and to keep up with events that take place in Calgary. A couple of months ago StudioBell + the National Music Centre hosted an event called After Hours – a new addition to Calgary’s nightlife arts and culture scene. The…
I think I speak for many when I say tacos are a gift from the food Gods! Over the years Calgary’s food scene has exploded with authentic Mexican restaurants serving delicious meals that are completely different from your neighbourhood Taco Bell. While the boxed taco mix is the best kind for those days when you come home and don’t feel like making an extravagant meal – nothing…
Cayo Coco is an island archipelago (Jardines del Rey) located north of Cuba in the province of Ciego de Avila. The Cayos are known for their beautiful white sand beaches and warm weather. Furthermore there are no actual towns in Cayo Coco or the rest of the archipelago for that matter. In fact the area is solely home to hotels and resorts. The closest town is the…
You don’t see many white skirts in the city and I think that’s a shame, since I believe white skirts are an absolute wardrobe staple. It is akin to the LBD (little black dress) but black is a been there done that colour. Even though the black pencil skirt is universally flattering, I truly think a white skirt adds that va va voom chic factor we all hope…
