I Am SO Over Grocery Shopping. Hello Chefs Plate.

March 25, 2017 2 Comments

Drea Marie is SO OVER grocery shopping. So she found Chefs Plate, a grocery/recipe delivery service in Calgary, AB. CHECK IT OUT.

But seriously. SO OVER IT. Not to mention the lines at Costco. On a Sunday. *eyeroll* So I started searching for anyway to avoid it and came across Chefs Plate. I had never had a meal delivery service before but loved the idea of Chefs Plate. They deliver recipes and ALL the groceries that go along with those recipes right to your door. PLUS it’s not just in Calgary… they deliver to Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, & Manitoba and they are expanding quickly. So you still cook it AKA it’s fresh for whichever day you want to make it but the prep is cut in half. Maybe even more than half. NOT TO MENTION the number of times I’ve forgotten something I’ve needed for a recipe and sat on my […]

January 21, 2017 No Comments

It has been a MIN.UTE. since I’ve done a recipe post. I know you guys LOVE them which is why I’m bringing you my latest FAVOURITE. TACO TURKEY SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOWLS. Did you know that on Weight Watchers spaghetti squash is 0 points? So you could eat 9 spaghetti squashes and use ZERO points. Anyways, so my friend Jordan snapchatted this and I immediately messaged him for the recipe. He sent me the original from Skinnytaste which I’m sure is FAB. I, ofcourse ,wanted to make it ASAP and didn’t have the exact ingredients so I improvised, as always. The turn out was UHMAZZZINNGG. Also, they keep overnight. SO you can pre cook them, pop them in the fridge and then warm up in the […]

We’re talking CAKE today. So last weekend I saw probably the most stunning cake I’ve ever seen and/or will see in person. It was flecked with 24K gold edible foil and took 25 hours to complete. It also hung from the ceiling. No I am not making this up. SWIRL Custom Cakes & Desserts is taking over the YYC cake game. I am OBSESSED.
