Omni Hotels – Montreal

A while back, I attended an event hosted by Omni Hotels, promoting their celebration of French cuisine – available at their hotels around the country.  Though that promotion has long passed (and I failed to post about it for a number of reasons), at the event, I was gifted with a voucher for a free night at one of their many locations.  When DLS and I discussed going on a road trip for MLK weekend, I immediately thought of it – and when I discovered the hotel is pet friendly, it was decided.  Since I was in charge of food, [...]

Feisty Freebie Giveaway!

My life is truly blessed.  I have wonderful friends, an incredible boyfriend, a fantastic family, and I am surrounded by amazing people in nearly every aspect of my life.  Scharffen Berger unsweetened cocoa powder, tasting squares of varying percentages of cacao, and baking chunksOn a more material level, I am constantly surrounded by awesome food and more.  I simply can’t eat or use it all.  Being that it’s my birthday month – both for The Feisty Foodie and myself on the 27th – I’ve decided to go beyond just spreading the love and sharing the wealth with my friends & [...]

Robicelli’s Gourmet Market

I’ve totally raved about Robicelli’s cupcakes before, but here’s some beauty shots of my recent trip (after eating at Ba Xuyen) anyway.  AWL’s pretty raspberry lemonade cupcake! My totally awesome chocolate turtle cupcake.  Oh my gosh, when I bit into this, it was like I died and went to heaven.  I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fluffy, cloud-like frosting that so far, I’ve only found at Robicelli’s.  Mmmmmmmmm.  Amazing.  I don’t think Keywee is quite as good as Layla (any Cupcakes Take the Cake readers will recognize the reference!), so I kept mine in the upside down cup to [...]

Camping Trip ’09

“What are your plans for the 4th?”“Oh, I’m going camping,” I responded giddily.“Really?  You don’t strike me as the camping type,” came the reply. This conversation was repeated about 5 times the week before the 4th of July long weekend.  I don’t strike anyone as the camping type, apparently.  Yes, it’s true, I’m a bit on the princess/prissy side, and I wear pink near daily (actually, it’s daily, even if you think I’m not wearing pink, I probably am), I have a lil girly frou-frou princess dog (in my defense, I didn’t exactly choose her, though I love her to [...]
