Steak Pita’s with Herb Labneh
We have found the best Gluten Free Pita’s, untraditionally shaped but delicious just the same from “Promise” Bakery located in Ireland. Their products are showing up in Canadian stores and are delicious. Sometimes fresh and other times they are in the freezer section. Make Herb …
Noir Honey Pork
Our favourite honey farm is Arlo’s Honey Farm just outside of Kelowna, B.C. The quality is outstanding. Our usual go to is Wildflower, but we bought Noir Honey recently and loved it drilled on pork and as part of a charcuterie.

Smoked Salmon and Dill Pizza
