Easy Bacon Egg Salad Wrap Lunch Recipe and World Egg Day Facts

October 10, 2019 by Kathryn 20 Comments

Did you know October 11 is World Egg Day? While I personally think that any day is a great day to celebrate the perfectly balanced food that is the egg, World Egg Day is an additional reason for me to do some cooking with one of my all-time favourite ingredients!

The humble egg may not be a food that’s often celebrated. But in my opinion, it should be! Eggs are one of the most inexpensive sources of protein available and are incredibly versatile! From a tasty and hearty Potato Frittata to tempting Tuna Salad Deviled Eggs, there are so many ways to cook with eggs.

But that’s not the only reason eggs are so great! Here are some fun facts about eggs you may not have known: [Read more…]

December 10, 2015 by Kathryn 19 Comments

Holiday entertaining often means evening parties with plates of appetizers, huge turkey dinners with all the fixings and a large variety of sweets and treats. But what if you want to do something a little more low key for your holiday event, yet still just as classy? A gourmet luncheon may be just the holiday event you’ve been looking for!

I decided to throw a little lunch party recently for a few friends, and I knew just where to start when it came to planning the menu. Happy Planet Fresh Soups are the perfect gourmet addition to any meal, and I decided that a simple menu of the new West African Squash and Cashew Soup with Open-Faced Apple and Gruyere Sandwiches would be the perfect way to impress guests without too much effort!

Tim Hortons Extreme Italian Sandwich is a Little Taste of Italy at Lunch-Giveaway

If there’s one thing I love about Tim Hortons, it’s the way that the company is always switching up its menu to provide new taste sensations for Canadians. In August, Tim Hortons introduced the Extreme Italian Sandwich for a limited time. Canadians loved it and so now the sandwich is back for good as a permanent lunch menu item! This sandwich combined robust Italian flavours including ham capicollo, genoa salami, pepperoni, mozzarella and sundried tomato sauce, served on a Parmesan and herb bun. I recently received a Tim Hortons gift card and some fun Italian goodies so that I could take my boys to check out the sandwich and see what we all thought.

Now I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of deli meat, but my boys both love it and happily agreed to taste-test the meat-packed sandwiches for me. I wasn’t sure what they’d think of the sundried tomato sauce since they tend to prefer quite simple food and both have a tendency to be picky. But to my delight, they devoured their sandwiches and told me that the meal was delicious. I was excited to see that these sandwiches were a hit with my meat-loving boys! [Read more…]
