Candy Cane Iced Capp from Tim Hortons

We're back to our average start of winter weather of 7°C and raining cat and dogs in Vancouver. However, since it feels warmer (compared to the past couple of days), I ordered the Candy Cane Iced Capp from Tim Hortons delivery.

I generally dislike Candy Cane and Peppermint flavours, but the flavour from the Candy Cane Iced Capp is not too pronounced. It's a subtle aftertaste which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Pasta Day: Chorizo Arrabiata from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Wednesday! It's pasta day in our household. First, we had a quesadilla and hot chocolate for breakfast (I know it's not pasta, but that's one of our usual breakfasts). Then, we enjoyed the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Toasted Pepitas and Tomatoes for lunch.

We cooked the Chorizo Arrabiata with Fresh Penne and Parsley from our HelloFresh box for dinner.

SPICY! I added all the chilli flakes, and it made the dish spicy. The parsley did add some freshness to the plate, and the parmesan cheese made it slightly creamy. I wished the tomatoes weren't sliced in half to provide fresh acidity when you take a bite.

Chorizo Arrabiata with Fresh Penne and Parsley

Overall, a delicious dinner served with HelloFresh Crave-Worthy Garlic Bread.

Below is the HelloFresh description for this meal.

SPICY! It was spicy because I added all the sriracha. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, but I wish there were more vegetables. Otherwise, it was a delicious healthy meal.

Meatless Monday: Butternut Squash Ravioli from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Monday!

We successfully did #MeatlessMonday today by having oatmeal for breakfast and the North African-Inspired Falafel and Green Couscous with Blistered Veggies and Creamy Harissa Sauce for lunch. Lastly, for dinner, we cooked the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Toasted Pepitas and Tomatoes from our HelloFresh box.

The pepitas provided an additional depth of flavour to the dish. I love the fresh tomatoes, onions, and spinach as it balances the creamy pesto sauce. This is a winning dish!

Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

I'm testing to see whether individual HelloFresh meal posts will do better than weekly ones.

It's a busy Sunday!

• We watched the World Cup Finals at home.
• It's snowing outside! 🌨️
• We had breakfast at Tim Hortons.
• We attended Sunday Mass.
• We shopped for gifts.
• We had lunch at Suika.
• We enjoyed a slice of Oreo Cheesecake at Trees.
• I wrapped presents at home with NFL Redzone in the background.

For dinner, we cooked the Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp with Ginger Rice, Peppers, Carrots, and Bok Choy from our HelloFresh Box.

It was salty. It's delicious but has a little more salt than I'd like. Also, my husband mentioned that it was spicy. There's a subtle heat, but I have a high tolerance for spicy food.

Shrimps were cooked perfectly (so I recommend following the instructions). I love the crunch of the vegetables, especially the bok choy.

When I was cooking it, all I could think of was Beef Broccoli that you get from Chinese restaurants. 😅

Oreo Cheesecake at Trees Cheesecake + Organic Coffee

After a satisfying lunch at Suika, we went to Trees. We tried the special Ferrero Rochet cheesecake last year, so we opted for the Oreo Cheesecake.

There are crushed Oreos on top of the cheesecake, but it has become soft. I kinda want to eat this with milk which is probably an unusual thought.
