24 Vegan Options in the South Okanagan Part 2

When I posted the first 12 vegan options in the South Okanagan last week, I was inundated with comments, emails and private messages suggesting even more vegan spots. I had already compiled this second part, which means I now have well beyond 24 vegan choices! At some point, I’m going to have to post even more vegan-friendly establishments in the South Okanagan! I have to say, I had no idea there were so many plant-based food options here. I’m so pleasantly surprised. Stay tu

24 Vegan Options in the South Okanagan Part 1

As you can probably piece together from the posts around here, I am clearly not a vegan. However, I do know a lot of vegans and vegetarians, including most of my extended family, and I wholeheartedly support and respect their choice to be so. I recently got the news that my brother, his wife and their newborn baby girl are coming to visit us in Summerland. I am more excited than words can describe, but I knew that the fact that they’re vegan might make dining out while they’r

Somebody To Love: Smugglers Smokehouse

When you’re on your way to see a Freddy Mercury biopic, you can’t really settle for drive-thru or soggy spinach thrown in a hoagie by a “sandwich artist”. Right?

No, you need to break free from the norm and go a little more unforgettable when choosing your pre-Mercury meal. When my husband and I

How Bad Tattoo Brewing Brought Pizza Back

I’m not the biggest fan of pizza. Before you disown me, just let me explain a little bit. I did a lot of travelling to strange corners of the world as a child and a teen and, as my palate was accustomed primarily to beige food, I was afraid of the local fare everywhere I went. There were strange deep-fried balls in Hong Kong resting next to chicken feet absorbing the spice in the air, so pungent my eyes would water. Mystery meat on sticks was being dished out on every corner

Feed Your Appetite For Asian Food In The Last Place You’d Expect It

If I had to choose my biggest weakness, it would be Asian food. Give me dumplings and dim sum, pho and pad thai. I love kimchi and teriyaki and Szechuan, oh my! I love Asian food in a boat. I love Asian food with a goat. I’ll eat it here. I’ll eat it there. I’ll eat Asian food anywhere. So, when I turned in my big city card and started living out here in the boonies, you can imagine how excruciating my withdrawals were. I’m not one to just accept the status quo, though, so I
