This Saturday come out and treat your ears and dancing feet to the Junction Music Fest! There will be a musical array of live musicians performing along Dundas St West and some side streets as well. It's going to be a delicious combination of great LIVE music and mouth watering FOOD!
We will be having an outside barbecue in celebration of this wonderful community festival.
Join us for A Chorizo on A Bun or our super flavorful Tacos! Free Range, Hormone Free Meats!!! Chicken beef or pork!
Espresso Mi Vida will be hosting http://www.theimbayakunas.com/index.aspx Imbayakunas, live from Ecuador. They are one of my absolute favorite bands in the city and perform at most festivals in the summer. Be prepared to dance the night away to their beautiful music which is a wonderous mix of Andean sounds and contemporary Latin rhythms.
If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing their live performance you will know that they always draw huge dancing crowds around them. Their vibrancy, passion, and love for music is always apparent with every performance.
The Imbayakunas will be performing in front of Cool Earth Architects at 386 Pacific Ave. starting at 4:15 - 8 pm. Just a few doors down from Espresso Mi Vida. Grab a chorizo on a bun and get your dancing shoes on for a night full of beautiful music. I'm telling you that you cannot keep your feet still to this music!

Ceviche at Montanita
Montanita is an ever popular little surfing city located a few hours outside Guayaquil. It has quickly become a popular destination spot for surfers and vacationers
The streets are bustling with lots of color, plenty of action and many wandering dogs. They are lined with vendors selling everything from hand made bracelets, surf boards to fresh ceviche.
Ceviche is a well known dish made out of fresh shrimp, or clams, or fish, (or all three if you're lucky), tomatoes, red onions, cilantro salt, pepper and lots of freshly squeezed lime.
It's such a fresh, delicious and super healthy tasting dish.

Iguana mania
Our first real day in the balmy city of Guayaquil, we visited "Parque Seminario Guayaquil". This extraordinary park has dozens of live iguanas sauntering about minding their own business. These scaly-looking reptiles inhabit this park in downtown Guayaquil.
Ecuador here we come!
On our way to my motherland, the very beautiful Ecuador!

Faul Farms
Thanks to our wonderful Ontario beef farm FAUL FARMS ! ! !
Ed and Shirley Faul have become our official beef supplier. They hail from Ayr, Ontario and they have a beautiful farm full of lots of gorgeous cows. They raise them from babies and devote their time, love and energy into producing these magnificent creatures.
As the saying goes, " the proof is in the pudding ! " This proof is definetely in their beautiful meat. It's juicy, sweet smelling, and oh so tender. There really is a difference in grass fed, hormone free, and free to just do whatever they want to do beef.

Chimi Easy!
Between my daughter's homework, dance classes and running a growing and successful business, when I find myself strapped for time I look for simple, quick, nutritious & most importantly delicious ways of getting dinner on the table. Let's face it, if it doesn't taste good, no one will eat it!
This sauce is one of my absolute favorites as it adds a lot of flavour to pretty much anything, seriously it does. Chimichurri is a beautiful,emerald green sauce which hails from the beautiful Argentina. It's supposed to be used as a dipping sauce for barbecued meats, ay caramba!!
It's made with parsley, onions, garlic, vinegars and oil, which equates to heavenly breath :-).
This time around I used it for a quick pasta side dish. Cook pasta as directed. I drained it and added a couple if tablespoons of chimichurri and mayonnaise (mayo will balance out the chimi as it has a strong flavour, a little goes a long way) added some chopped parsley, salt & pepper to taste.
You can add fresh spinach for added nutrition as well.
I paired it with roasted chicken & carrots.
