Food & Wine | The first ever Nutella® Café is now officially open and Toronto is freaking out!

For those of you living in Toronto, you’ve by now seen that the FIRST EVER Nutella Café has opened up at Sobey’s Urban Fresh Spadina. I got so excited about this new permanent feature to one of our favourite Sobey’s locations that I even attended a 7:30am launch of the space with media friends. That says a lot since I am the opposite of a morning person! Continue reading “Food & Wine | The first ever Nutella® Café is now officially open and Toronto is freaking out!”

Toronto | If you wouldn’t eat it, why would your dog?

Being that I am a first time dog owner, I can admit that I might not have been as educated as I thought I was about things such as grooming and diet. Owning a dog, especially a rescue, changes your life in ways that are hard to explain. Falling completely in love with an animal from the moment you see them is such a powerful thing. That could be with a dog that currently has physical limits on how far they can move at the moment. Which is why people decide to do research into dog backpack carriers. Websites like Stop That Dog (more information at https://www.stopthatdog.com/best-backpack-carrier-for-dogs/) can give you some insight into how to support your new best friend. That is what my friend mentioned anyway.

Looking at the photo above, you might assume that it was taken at a healthy butcher here in Toronto. You wouldn’t be completely wrong in that assumption. Having recently visited All Good Dog Food Co. with Canela, I came to realize that this Toronto based store and their unique passion for healthy dog food is looking to improve the life of my dog just as much as I am.

Food & Wine | A little #MommyKnowHow goes a long way

I’m sitting here giggling to myself as I write this blog post, because I am NOT a mommy. Recently DoTheDaniel.com was invited to an informative breakfast by The Egg Farmers of Canada here in Toronto. As my resident mommy expert, Amanda was unfortunately not able to join so I decided to attend in her place. Sitting around a table at Colette Grand Café as the only man, I quickly learnt that a little #MommyKnowHow goes a long way. We enjoyed a delicious meal and an engaging conversation about the myths surrounding feeding eggs to our babies. Come and see the facts about eggs, babies and what it means in an age of ever increasing allergies for our little ones.  Continue reading “Food & Wine | A little #MommyKnowHow goes a long way”
