I know, I know, I'm supposed to mix the pasta into the sauce and cook it for a couple of minutes in there. But when you make a large batch of sauce, and want a quick bowl, sometimes you just put the sauce on the naked noodles. And see how pretty it is? Tasted pretty fine too. (Though I do admit, it would have been better finished properly) . . . #dinner #pasta #sugo #yum #fbcigers #nakednoodles #homecooking #homemade #food #Toronto #feedfeed #igerstoronto #simple #f52grams #foodphotography #igerscanada #fbcigers #foodblogger #instafood #igerscanada #The6ix #p30pro #huawei #travelwithp30 #rewritetherules #leicalens #longweekend #farmfresh #farmlife #foodielife #food #LexGoFurther via Instagram ift.tt/2XdLoys

Because sometimes only homemade jam will help make hospital food palatable. This little care package is headed to a friend who is just having a little visit "just in case". Either way, we hope a taste of summer in the form of our peach and raspberry jam will make her day better. (Yes, that lex's private reserve raspberry jam.) Nod to @joshnamaharaj and @TakeBackTheTray!

On Wednesday we had a pampering staycation @shangrilaTO. Since @BoskTO has been active participant in @2ndHarvestTO's #TorontoTaste since the Shangri-La opened, I've been looking forward to enjoying a meal in their restaurant for a couple of years now. @gerrythorpe ordered the 4-course a la carte, and I opted for the Chef's Menu. Always my favourite way to experience the kitchen's skill & preferences. They were kind to accommodate a few of my preferences too. Course #1 was a 4-part snacking menu. #snacks #amusebouche #boskTO #dinner #chefsmenu #the6ix #Torontofood #tofoodies #tastethesix #Torontoeats #toeats #tastingmenu #staycation #playcation @shangrilato #Toronto #foodielife #foodanddrink #f52grams #instafood #igerscanada #fbcigers #foodblogger #feedfeed #food52 #shangrilaTO #igdaily #LexGoFurther via Instagram ift.tt/2mVjEgC

I had no idea Crush made Birch Beer. It's not like any Birch Beer I've had before, starting with the fact it's pink. But if you think you'd like cream soda mixed with a little root beer, this might be for you. Found it at a Newfoundland themed dinner in Saint John, New Brunswick. Had any one else tried it?

Gourmet charcuterie at 32,000 feet onboard @FlyAirNorth, Yukon's Airline. They serve delicious complimentary in-flight meals on every flight prepared by their expert culinary team led by Executive Chef Michael Bock. The meal today was fantastic looking sandwiches, but as I limit my bread intake I lucked out with this tasty treat by requesting a gluten free meal. Thank you Air North for being so awesome and accommodating to my dietary requests!! AND for serving lunch on a 2 hour flight, when most airlines don't feed you even on a long flight. I seriously love you guys!! 😘✈️🍴 #airnorth #flyairnorth #yukon #instafood #eeeeeats #airplanefood #airlinemeals #omnomnom #fbcigers #dhvanfood
