(Some of) My Favourite Toronto Restaurants To Get You Hungry

As someone that has worked in the restaurant industry in some capacity for almost fifteen years, my heart is heavy for the city of Toronto right now. I don’t want to focus too much on the challenges because that would detract from the message of this post – how we all can support local small businesses and restaurants throughout the last few weeks of 2020. So in an attempt to get you hungry and ordering curbside pickup or delivery, here is my list of (some) of the restaurants I love most.

The Gift I’m Giving Myself

While I may be one of the few people excited for the winter snow, I know that most of us are excited about other aspects of the holidays. Be it decorating the tree nice and early, to planning those special memories with the members of your household or bubble. 2020 may be different than we wanted it to be, but it can also be amazing if you make the right decision this holiday season. So, let’s talk about the gift that I’m giving myself and how you can do the same.

Stocking Up For The Holidays Is Easier Than Ever

With the holiday season in full swing at my house (yes, I’m one of those people who put up the decorations early because it makes me really really happy) I am starting to think about stocking up for the holidays and what I need to start ordering. With a strong #SupportLocal vibe in mind, I thought I’d share one specific trick that I haven’t shared before to make your holidays much easier this year!

How You Can Cheers To Summer & Support Local Farmers Too With #SomersbyFarmersMarket

One of my favourite parts about the summer is farmer’s markets in the city. Having lived in downtown Ottawa for so long in my twenties, being by the ByWard Market I’d pick up fresh produce almost daily. We of course in Toronto have St. Lawrence Market, but I don’t live close by and have to be mindful of social distancing rules right now.

Well ladies and gentlemen, there’s a new Farmers Market in town, and not only can you get your produce for a week, but you can also help give back at the same time by shopping at it!
