After our smooth transatlantic flight, we found ourselves with a brief two-hour layover in Calgary (YYC) before the final hop to Vancouver. With both of us still battling a lingering cough, we made a beeline for Jugo Juice, knowing they had the perfect remedies.
Our first order of business was to stock up on wellness: a fiery Good Shot (packed with lemon, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne—pure immune system defiance!) and a fresh Orange Juice. For food, we went for the ultimate Canadian comfort food with a twist: Grilled Cheese sandwiches. They were far from basic and made for the perfect, handheld airport meal.
I chose the Chicken & Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese, a savory delight built with chicken, spinach, mozzarella, and sweet, jammy caramelized onions. It was warm and barely satisfying.

However, the real winner, by a delicious margin, was my husband's choice: the Turkey Cranberry Grilled Cheese. This sandwich took the familiar combination of turkey and cranberry and elevated it with a fantastic, nutty layer of pesto.

Fueled by spicy shots, fresh juice, and melty grilled cheese sandwiches, we were ready for the final leg of our journey home.
