It has been a particularly hot summer here in Southern Ontario, and anyone who works outdoors can arguably attest to this. It’s been brutal at times, and when you factor in the lack of rain, the combination becomes borderline intolerable. I am a heavy sweater in normal temperatures, so you can imagine how moist I … More Read this before your next Costco run
It’s no secret that I become borderline feral when it comes to pickles. My preference is dill, and I’m not a huge fan of sweet ones – in my opinion, pickles are meant to be dilly. Not sugary. Anytime I spot something new and exciting in the realm of pickles, I am more than willing … More If you like pickles, read this
I haven’t been to Costco in a hot minute, and as much as I could benefit from going, it’s arguably best I don’t to abstain from spending money on items I don’t necessarily need. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are prior to going to a Costco – you’re always going to buy things you … More If you love birthday cake, you need to visit your closest Costco
This past Friday, I accompanied my mom and sister for a much-needed visit to Costco. I hadn’t been since August, so there were definitely some items I desperately needed to replenish, and because my mom and sister both needed a number of things, we agreed it made sense to go together. In retrospect, we were … More Costco at Christmastime: yay or nay?
I used to spend the majority of my free time reading when I was younger. I simply could not get enough of it; my passion for reading and literature was undeniably ignited by the Harry Potter series, seeing as I’ve read all seven books roughly six times each, and fantasy has always been one of … More Looking for your next read? I’ve got you covered
I’ve said it before and I will say it again; regardless of how much preparation you undertake prior to visiting Costco, you will always end up grabbing items you were not planning on getting. You don’t go to Costco with a list – Costco provides you with your list. Or, rather, you don’t tell Costco … More Lucky Charms Pillsbury Soft Baked Cookies: yay or nay?
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I recently visited Costco with my sister. The trip was originally intended for her; we went to pick up some items she needed for an upcoming catering job. I was tagging along, and so I deemed it only appropriate to venture into the store with her to keep her … More Craving something sweet? Read this
These past few days have been a little bit on the dull side for me. I ended up getting two concussions in the span of two weeks which is not great for my melon, and as a result of this, I cannot do anything overly physical. Basically, I have to avoid getting my heart rate … More This is your sign to visit Costco ASAP
I am an avid pickle lover – always have been, and arguably always will be. My preference is dill, and while I’m not a huge fan of sweet, or bread-and-butter pickles, if they’re the only pickles available, I will lower my standards and eat them. I’m all for pickle-inspired dishes, too, since we are on … More Costco Partini Fried Dill Pickle Chips: hit or miss?
While I don’t manage to make a trip out to the nearest Costco as often as I should, especially in the summer months here on the farm, I am fortunate enough to have a mom and sister who, before going to Costco for themselves, always ask me if there is anything I might need for … More Looking for a tasty treat? Look no further
Steamed dumplings have held their place close to my heart for quite a few years now. If I remember correctly, I believe the first time I ever sampled steamed dumplings was at The Mandarin, a well-known buffet-style restaurant here in Ontario, Canada. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t tried steamed dumplings sooner considering their phenomenal, dynamic … More If you’re a fan of dumplings, read this
Earlier this week, my sister accompanied me on a much-needed Costco trip. I haven’t been to Costco for a hot minute, and I like to visit a few times a year to stock up on certain items, and also to peruse the shelves and see what is new and exciting. When my sister and I … More Need some energy? Try a ZOA
One of the last times I made a trip to Costco, I came across a product in their snack section that caught my interest. I spotted some fruit bars, and because so many of these types of items contain a lot more than you’re anticipating (like excess sugar), I always check out the ingredients. I … More Looking for a healthy snack? Read this
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, my mom and I recently made a trip to Costco. I picked up some new goodies as well as some I’ve been getting from Costco for a while, one such item being the cookies that they bake in-store. Costco actually has a rather impressive selection of baked goods. If I’m … More Costco cookies: yes or no?
My mom and I ventured out to Costco a few days ago for a long overdue visit. She and I had been trying to determine a day to go to stock up on some goodies that suited the both of us, but things tend to get a little squirrely scheduling-wise when we are in the … More Run, don’t walk to grab this from Costco
I wouldn’t exactly say my love for Costco comes as a surprise after I mentioned it in my post a little while ago about Tiramisu. It may be more accurate to admit I have a somewhat toxic relationship with Costco, but honestly, I’m okay with it because of all of the happiness it brings me. … More Love pickles? Read this
I can’t really say I’m someone who consumes a lot of protein bars. They’ve never really been of significant interest to me, and considering a lot of us eat them for breakfast and I prefer a warm meal when I wake up, I just haven’t given them a whole lot of thought. My mom brought … More Looking for a clean protein bar? Try RXBAR’s
