Gift idea for the sweet tooth in YOUR life-Forget Me Not Bake Shoppe!

Holiday times are the BEST times for treats….and I find treats taste even better when they’re made by someone fantastic.

Introducing Forget Me Not Bake Shoppe!Providing tasty treats to the GTA-yes that’s right, shipping people!  You just place the order!  Let Forget Me Not do the baking FOR YOU!!! Can I get a brilliant in the house please?

Mission Statement:

To provide delicious homemade treats, inspired by vintage recipes,

To inspire thoughtful and creative ‘gift that keeps on giving’ ideas and experiences baked with the same quality of ingredients, care and attention you’d find in any fine bakery establishment, or your grandmother’s kitchen.

If your grandmother had tattoos and a bit of a potty mouth, that is..

And if that hasn’t piqued your interest, let me woo you with some photos…..*warning* you may need a napkin to wipe the drool away!

 
Okay so if that’s the website and they look *that* good, imagine how they taste IRL!!!!
 
Something else that I am signing up for (and several other cookie monsters in MY life) is the cookie subscription service.  Check this out:
 

Forget Me Not offers monthly cookie and treat subscriptions for your convenience. Give the gift of a sweet subscription – it really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Cookie of the Month

3 months $60
6 months $100
One year $200

Just imagine: Every month a dozen delicious, freshly-baked cookies arrive on the doorstep of your home or office. Whether you’re on the receiving end or the one doing the giving, you’re bound to become the most popular person in ‘hood. Or the most envied.

Ummmm is that genius or what?

Forget Me Not Bake Shoppe can be found on Facebook, where the full ‘menu’ and list of offerings is listed.  Give them a call-you won’t regret it and you’ll make someone smile for sure!

Getting Cheesey at Cheesewerks!

Leave it to Cherry Lo….she spotted free grill cheese day at Cheesewerk with her eagle eyes.  of course that neighborhood seems to be our new “hot-spot” between CYKL, Thor, Cheesewerks, and the General Store.  Anyway, we all trekked down to Cheesewerks for our free sandwich-the ‘we’ being Cherry, myself, and Geoff (who complains more than anyone I know).

Mangia Mangia Monday at Angelo’s on King!

I pay attention to Twitter.

Especially when Tiffany M. of @Shes_So_Savvy speaks about great food.  She wasn’t kidding when she raved about Angelo’s on King!

Chilean wines-a Notable evening!

Wine tasting. I’m not an expert.  But that didn’t stop me from attending a Notable Wine Tasting event recently.  And I had a good time! Check the photos:

I loved this woman’s dress-just in case you were wondering it’s from Banana Republic.

fellow tasters mingling.....

empty glasses are the best kind.....

well look who I bumped into at the tasting! it's @ginnynotweasley!

And an even better photo of her with @marclevy!

Now this is a perfect pairing.....

I had a good time at this event…I learned a lot about Chile and had plenty of wine and some great food to go with it.  Hoping that there will be another Notable event for me to attend!

Have you ever tasted wine from Chile? What’s your favorite wine?

She’s so Savvy Soirée!

This was definitely the place to be on a Wednesday night.  I’ll warn you now-this post is PIC HEAVY!

Canadian Thanksgiving with an American flare…..

One of the ‘perks’ of being an American living in Canada is the fact that I get to celebrate Thanksgiving TWICE!!! Canadian thanksgiving happens a month and a half prior to American Thanksgiving.  I love to cook big holiday meals and that is not going to stop because I am 8 hours away from “home.” So I started my own ‘tradition’ of cooking a Canadian Thanksgiving.   I get all my recipes from Chatelaine magazine-whose October issues always have a pull out recipe section.  This year’s recipes are nothing short of fantastic!

Latte Fridays with Meredith & Cherry-Cafe Atelier!

I can’t say enough good things about this place….a little gem on King West.  Cherry & I would always walk by the sandwich board sign on the sidewalk and talk about popping in.  We made good on that last week….and liked it so much, we had to come back!  I had forgotten my camera the first time so we justified the second trip to get “blog-worthy” pictures.  Oh who am I kidding-we actually went back for the cookies.

WOW sushi blows my mind! On a Tuesday!

One of the few ‘going out’ foods I afford myself is sushi.  The other half’s claim to fame is sushitoronto.ca (shameless plug), and he & his business partner stumbled upon this recently opened restaurant.  He had told me it was good….but his interpretation of ‘good’ is way different than mine.  Usually.

Latte Friday with Cherry and Meredith-Mylk uncookies edition!

In our quest for awesome espresso based drinks-our last stop, Thor Espresso mentioned the Indie Coffee pass.  It’s a pass that includes Indie coffee shops all over Toronto and allows a user (for a one time fee) a drink with a value of up to $4.00.  It’s a great idea-and if the shops weren’t so spread out, Cherry and I would have surely purchased (however we are restricted to shops we can get to within our 1 hour lunch break).
