Model Milk Calgary, AB - Amazing foie gras, crab salad, Broek Acres pork and much more!

Its not often I get super excited about trying a place AND not only have it meet but exceed my expectations (and test the limits of my tummy space).  Model Milk fell into that rare category.  I've been meaning to try it out since it opened, and finally, was able to try it out on a recent trip to Calgary, and am definitely marking it down for return visits!  Every Sunday, there's family style dinners where if you grab a group of friends and/or  family, you can get a huge tableful of grub served family style.  Getting ahead of myself here, so lets get on to the fooooood!

Chocolate covered maple bacon skewers recipe - bacon, chocolate and maple threesome!

It finally happened.


Bacon. Chocolate. Maple syrup. All served together as a salty savory on a stick. It’s a bacon lover’s dream come true! I’ve had chocolate covered bacon in the past – indulgent and superbly sinful, the salty savory smokiness of bacon is wonderfully complemented by a hit of dark dark chocolate. When I saw a recipe for these babies, I just had to try! Here we go!

Bacon wrapped scallops and bacon wrapped shrimp with white wine, rosemary butter reduction recipe equals bacon wrapped happiness!

Large scallops and shrimp are super tasty on their own, and wrapping them up in bacon while tasty, takes a bit of timing so you don't overcook the seafood wrapped up inside.  TestKitchenL came up with a simple solution - increase the size of the seafood inside so the cooking time matches with the bacon... bigger scallops and shrimp wrapped in bacon?! Genius!

Tien Tuyen Vietnamese Cuisine Edmonton, AB - Tasty vermicelli bowls in deep south of Edmonton

While driving by one of the newer strip malls that seem to be popping up everywhere in the deep south of Edmonton, we dropped by a new family run Vietnamese restaurant.  I love trying out new places and supporting the little guys, so in we went!
