Angels on horseback P’oh Boys – Bacon wrapped oysters… sandwich love!

What’s better than bacon wrapped oysters? How about bacon wrapped oyster P’oh Boys? For my girlfriend’s engagement party, her love of seafood, bacon and P’oh boys became a combined super tasty idea. What’s there not to love?

Friends Indian Restaurant and Sweets Edmonton, AB - Best moist and flavorful tandoori in Edmonton!

I swear, I should have bought a lottery ticket. I randomly chose this reaturant to try in the deep south for the heck of it one weekend… and we’ve been back 3 times since! Not only is their food tasty, but I found the holy grail of Indian cooking… tandoori chicken that’s actually moist, succulent and oh soo damn good! I nearly had my Indian friends jump me when I casually mentioned it to them later on in the week! Anyways.. onto the food!

So here’s some tips, tricks and recipe for devilled eggs that hopefully won’t cause you to lose your temper and actually tell your friends it wasn’t that hard to make!

Sunbake Pita Bakery Edmonton, AB - Still the best Lebanese fatayers, meat and cheese pies in Edmonton!

Rating 9.0/10
Still my favourite place in the city for traditional meat pies.  I'll admit, I've wandered and the flavors and pies at other places just don't cut it.  When it comes to traditional Lebanese pies... Sunbake pita is the bakery to go to!

Spinach and 5 cheese lasagna roll-ups with roasted tomato sauce recipe. Mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey Jack, parmesan and cream cheese cheeseiness!

For a cool rainy day or when I get a craving for it, I like making these lasagna rolls (and freezing a bunch for a quick lunch or rainy day).  Just as satisfying as a vegetarian lasagna, rolling these babies up makes it much easier to serve (and freeze portions for later)... and you can still see the pretty layers if you're having unexpected guests pop over... pretty always translates into oohs and ahhs cuz folks think you slaved over this for hours! I've included a faster recipe and a slow food recipe.  I came up with this recipe this summer when we had the tornado scare... nothing like 5 cheeses, warm soft noodles, sweet caramelized onions and a rich tomato sauce to warm and comfort!
