today I managed to pull off doing Chicken Penne alfredo bake (but man Pasta can take forever to cook) I guess it's safe to say that iHeart had a good year in the kitchen

Nice! Costco used to have that.

Usually these days they have the one with the Shrimp and Lobster in stock

I'm so glad Old El Paso finally put out an Enchilada kit

so I made cookies again today again I made Gooey Snickers Cookies because I had a bunch of minis leftover from my failed hot cocoa bomb experiment, and boy they were greasy as hell when I shaped them into dough form

Nearly six years after its announcement, Kildonan Place may be getting that new food court.

The mall desperately needs some updated food options.   I'll take a Jimmy the Greek and Thai Express to start.....

and it needs a proper ice cream place (the outlet place has a Kernels and a Baskin Robbins in the same store)  the closest they have is a Pinkberry at Second Cup and the stuff at Junxion is just f'real shakes with a twist. We don't need a DQ in KP not if there's one a block away

Tacos and Tequila Fest lineup

so Oreo Cakesters have returned to Canadian Grocery Stores (woo-hoo no more depending on import places for them)

Yes. They returned a month ago. 

there are too many things from the US that I want to see on our Grocery Shelves (Chik Fil A Sauce isn't one of them though, that is something I'd rather get from the import stores)

Some of the American BBQ sauce would be good

Famous Dave's BBQ sauce is drink worthy(Sweet & Zesty and Rich & Sassy). The restaurant itself has gone down hill and is pretty awful now which is a shame. They do sell the sauces at the restaurant but its crazy expensive. Always stock up when we go to the U.S.

 

well maybe some condiments or Taco Bell Taco Shells? (I don't really need the Dolly Parton cake mixes anymore since I made everything I wanted to make with them) or Velveeta Skillet stuff

Miller's Meats has a nice variety of sauces,  rubs,  and marinades that they rotate in and out throughout the year.     I haven't gone in a few years but I believe Luxe's (the place where you can buy BBQ's and smokers) also had a large variety of sauces when I last went.        I find that most Superstores/Sobeys/Safeway carry the same old stuff and have a very small section for "gourmet" or different BBQ sauces.

Luxe does carry a huge selection but there are still some brands/flavors that they don't carry or can't get in Canada.  For example, they carry some Kinders BBQ sauces but there are certain flavours (like black cherry chipotle or bourbon peach) that I have only ever seen in the US.  I try to stock up on those whenever I get the chance.

 

  

At the Fairmont apparently.

Salter and Flora. Not surprised by that one.

hmmm what's this now probably means nothing 

So I got my chance to try Belle's today I had a pulled chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese (do they use Velveeta on them?)  my dad put it this way: the food is good but it's not food meant to be consumed by old people (he is 71 mom is 64) he like the coffee though

 

I thought it was just okay this type of restaurant format might not be for me. I will give them bonus points for the smokey scent that fills the air

why does the Pony Corral on Regent have the US Flag up? now that things are being pro Buy Canadian there has to be a reason for that
