I made a vegan Dubai chocolate bar

Image
I wanted to try a proper vegan version of the viral  Dubai chocolate. I have tried the one from Palm bites  and  it’s good but it’s a healthier version made from dark chocolate and the pistachio is the crunch. I have also tried the cookie from Naturally Vero since they had an option to get it with my meal prep delivery. They do make a chocolate bar  but they don’t deliver it. I like the cookie filling but find it was too heavy in the cookie. Juice Dudez also has the filling in a mango pudding which is excellent but they don’t do a vegan chocolate yet. I am hoping I will convince them or any other Ottawa vendor to make one some day. In the meantime I had to make one myself.  I have asked my vendor friends to make me one even sent them the recipes but no one has yet. I really wanted to try a proper unhealthy version just once. I didn’t want to make it myself because I knew I would want to eat it all. I always gravitate to things that are pistachio flavoured. It’s ...

Week of February 19 2017 Bridal Shower, Vegetable Soup, and Tiramisu

Image
Today I went my cousins bridal shower. My younger cousins are starting to get married now and the people who threw the shower had never even attended a bridal shower before. It was very well done for a first time party. This was a tame party as family was involved. It was a house party with take out Thai food and very nice cakes made by another cousin I wish I got a picture. The games revealed that the couple have a lot to learn about each other even though they have known each other for fifteen years. I won a prize for getting the most answers right on whether the bride or groom said certain answers. It's kind of interesting that I won because I have only met the groom to be once for a few minutes and I don't spend very much time with my cousin as she is much younger than me. Anyways yeah I won this great prize package. I count this as my first win for 2017. The nailpolish and kisses were a party favour but the rest was the prize. Earlier in the week I went to the dentist...

February 12, 2017 Foodie buddy guest blogs about Pie or Pye

A quick update on my life work drama and things I can't blog about have been taking up all my time and then the guest blog about pie. I finished the beachbody challenge and will be getting a few dollars probably $20 or so not bad as it did help me lose a couple of pounds. I am on to the next challenge  which is just to win prizes but I find this one harder as it requires doing any workout for 30 days straight. It's only been two days and I almost missed one but didn't so I will be happy if i do make it through the 30 days I am doing a variety as there is so much on beachbody on demand. I tried yoga booty ballet today and really like it. This week I went to see a play at Capilano college Fawlty Towers it was for my mom's birthday and she liked the tv show. I thought the play was really good it was 90 minutes but went by really quickly. I also ate at Marcello's pizza which I have never been to before. It was a true Italian restaurant was very good had a taste of pizz...
