Cottage Supper #FoodPornFriday

We got to spend a night at a cottage in Victoria Harbour last week, as the newlyweds went back to Vancouver a few days before their two week rental was up. It was a total win for us and super relaxing.

The cottage had a full kitchen (and a mostly full fridge) so John pan fried some pork buttons with some spices and sauteed fresh mushrooms. The mushrooms were packed with flavour - I think I could have eaten a whole pan of just them. On the side we had some steamed carrots and broccoli and a big scoop of leftover wedding potato salad (which still tasted amazing, as this was before I ate waaaayyyy too much of it).

Dragon Wok Lunch Combo #FoodPornFriday

A few months ago my Mom got a take out menu for Dragon Wok Chinese Restaurant in her mail box. After going through the menu, she texted me all the different dishes and specials that we could get if I came over. By the end of the day, I think I had received the entire menu via text. I guess she was pretty excited about it!

So we finally went over to Dragon Wok last week and I got myself a lunch special. For $5.50 I got a good sized portion of food, really tasty chicken fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, and an egg roll. While I was there I noticed they also have some walk in specials, so we'll definitely be back for more sometime soon.

Tuscan Portobello Burger #FoodPornFriday

I don't eat out that often anymore, but food like this makes me wish I did. I was running errands in Barrie on Monday which ended with Mom and I spontaneously going to Applebee's. We must go there more often than I think, as I earned a free meal on my frequent diners card. Win! I was going to get something expensive for my free meal, but I saw the picture of the Tuscan Portobello Burger and had to have it. I love the flavour of the burgers at Applebee's, and this one was topped with giant pieces of portobello mushrooms, swiss cheese, bacon bits, sundried tomato mayo, and (my favourite) onion strings.

Perhaps I will have to fill a new frequent diners card with more of these!

Cold Stone Creamery #FoodPornFriday

It's Saturday, but I'm linking up to Big Dude Likes Food's #FoodPornFriday link up, so let's not worry about what day it is and just enjoy the photo, okay? :p

Back in October, I went to Cold Stone Creamery three times. In Canada you can find them in certain Tim Hortons restaurants, and my frequent visits were because of an awesome coupon deal they had going. Buy a regular sized ice cream and pay for the small size. So the amazing looking ice cream in this photo was only $3.36 (and that includes the extra $0.50 I paid to get a waffle bowl).

If you have never been to a Cold Stone or Marble Slab type ice cream place, they have really fresh ice cream and they mix whatever ingredients you want into it. I went to the one in Wasaga Beach and they make the ice cream right in the back. The Wasaga Beach Cold Stone is in a 24 hour Tim Hortons, so if I wanted crazy ice cream at 3:00am, that is totally where I would go.

If memory serves the ice cream pictured is the All Lovin' No Oven flavour, which is Cake Batter ice cream, pieces of cookie dough, whipped topping, and fudge. I got it served in the pink waffle bowl, obviously.
