This long weekend I was on the hunt for the perfect dress to wear for an upcoming wedding I have. My mom and I went to Sherway Gardens since Yorkdale was unsuccessful for me. After roaming the many racks of Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Aritzia, I finally found a dress that I was able…
Burrata Salad
My all-time favourite restaurant when I cannot decide what to eat in Vaughan is Marcello’s Pizzeria. Do not be fooled though, the Marcello’s location on St. Clair Ave is not as good as the Vaughan location. I can say I have tried almost the entire menu and have never been disappointed. The burrata salad is…
Raspberry Mojito
This past weekend in Toronto was extra hot. I made the wrong decision to clean up my patio when it felt like 45 degrees outside. To reward myself for all my hard work in the evening, I hit up a local restaurant patio to enjoy the warm weather with some food and drinks. Earls Kitchen…

Last weekend while getting ready for a wedding, I decided to remake some Aperol Spritz during hair…
Espresso Martini
TGIF! Last week while out for dinner at Nodo Hillcrest, I was looking for an after dinner drink to enjoy with my torta della nonna dessert. My waiter suggested I try an espresso martini to accompany my dessert choice. I felt like I was Melissa Gorga and Teresa Guidice as they always order an espresso…
Mini Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies
Easter is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the sacrifices of Jesus Christ than with some elevated chocolate chip cookies! Cadbury eggs are delicious on their own, and when they are inside a cookie, they are even better. Many different bakeries during the Easter season add Cadbury eggs to their famous…

After visiting Rocco’s Tacos last year, I have been cravinggg their black diamond margarita. Black salt, cherry…
Pasta Carbonara
I love love love pasta carbonara. BUT, if it includes the fresh yolk on top of the pasta that is where I draw the line. Cheese, egg, bacon, carbs, what is there not to love about this dish? One of the best restaurants to order carbonara pasta is at Carmines La Trattoria in Florida. Unfortunately, I…
