Chicken Noodle Soup from Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons is a beloved Canadian institution, known for its coffee, donuts, and a range of other menu items. One such item is the classic Chicken Noodle Soup, which is a popular choice for those looking for a warm, comforting meal on a cold day.

Do you know that feeling when you have a cold or fever and only want to snuggle under a warm blanket and have your favourite show in the background? For moments like that, I only want a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, and Tim Hortons has an affordable, easily accessible one.

The soup comes in a standard-sized bowl and is made with tender chicken, hearty noodles, and a savory broth. The chicken is cooked to perfection and has a great flavor that pairs well with the noodles. The broth is rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of saltiness.

After the Chili, their Chicken Noodle Soup is my second favourite.

Overall, if you're a fan of classic Chicken Noodle Soup, then Tim Hortons is definitely worth a try. It's a great option for those looking for a quick, satisfying, and affordable meal on the go.

Shrimp Saturday: Spicy Shrimp Curry from HelloFresh

I am trying to do #SoupSunday and #MeatlessMonday, and I even had #SalmonSaturday some weeks back. Today is #ShrimpSaturday.

We enjoyed a blueberry muffin with green tea for breakfast. Afterwards, we enjoyed the Hoisin-Glazed Shrimp leftovers for lunch. Then, for dinner, I prepared the Smart Spicy Shrimp Curry with Buttered Couscous from HelloFresh Canada.

Creamy Chill from Tim Hortons

Are you looking for a refreshing treat to cool you down on a hot summer day? Look no further than Tim Hortons' Creamy Chill!

Since it's a beautiful clear day in Vancouver, we decided to walk west to the Tim Hortons location, more than 2 kilometres from our place to indulge by ordering potato wedges (my favourite!), a small Vanilla Creamy Chill, and a large Chocolate Creamy Chill.


Small Vanilla Creamy Chill and Large Chocolate Creamy Chill from Tim Hortons

This delicious frozen beverage is made with a creamy blend of milk, your chosen flavoring, and ice, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture that is perfect for sipping on a hot day. And the best part? You can customize your Creamy Chill with a variety of flavors, including strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

We enjoyed the vanilla with our potato wedges in the store while we returned home carrying the large Chocolate Creamy Chill. Then, we drank it with our HelloFresh dinner.

Why do we have too much Tim Hortons food? My husband participates in a survey/research program which gives him a gift card. The most useful ones for us are Tims and DoorDash. Since these are "free" Tims, we get to play in Roll Up To Win - we won 3x coffee/hot beverages and a $25.00 Tim Card,

Fiery Lentil Spaghetti Arrabiata from HelloFresh Canada

#MeatlessMonday is my conscious effort to eat no meat on Mondays. However, since we're Catholic and it's lent, we abstain from eating meat on Fridays too. So, for today's dinner, we enjoyed the vegetarian Fiery Lentil Spaghetti Arrabiata with Spinach and Roasted Red Peppers from our HelloFresh box. It's the last meal from the box that arrived last Saturday, and we're expecting our new box tomorrow.

There's nothing boring about this dinner! Lentils and tomatoes are the base of a sauce that's jazzed up with garlic, chili flakes and chili sauce. Spaghetti acts as the perfect pasta to capture all the sauce!

Replacing the usual beef or pork in the Arrabiata sauce are lentils. They provided an unexpected creaminess to the dish. I also like the freshness of the parsley. Overall, a satisfying meatless meal.

Smart Hoisin-Glazed Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Thursday! This is the first HelloFresh meal I told myself, hey, I can buy this from the ingredients from the grocery and have a low-calorie delicious meal in under 30 minutes. I only need hoisin sauce for the Smart Hoisin-Glazed Shrimp with Stir-Fried Sesame Veggies.

I think it will also work with oyster sauce or with noodles. My mouth is watering at the thought.

Cadbury Mini Eggs Dream Donut and Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies from Tim Hortons

Spring is almost here, and Tim Hortons is welcoming the season with the return of their Cadbury Mini Eggs Dream Donut and the introduction of the new Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies.


Cadbury Mini Eggs Dream Donut and Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies from Tim Hortons

Most of the day, I was scrolling through the Tim Hortons mobile app to find a branch offering both Cadbury Mini Eggs treats. Most locations only have cookies, so when I spotted one with both donuts and cookies - I knew where to go.

We decided to have dinner at Tim Hortons and order my usual favourite Chili. We're also trying their Regular Roast Beef & Cheddar sandwich and Cream of Broccoli soup for the first time.

To end our meal, we enjoyed the Cadbury Mini Eggs Dream Donut and Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies.


Regular Roast Beef & Cheddar Artisan Sandwich

The Roast Beef was messy, and it's alright. Not something I'll order again. The lettuce and tomato were good. However, the beef was bland, and the bread was too thick. The ratio was off.

Cream of Broccoli Soup

The Cream of Broccoli Soup was bland. No taste whatsoever. It was the first time that I asked for salt and used it. It's needed to bring out more flavour from the cream and broccoli.

Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies

The Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies have a crunchy exterior, soft, chewy interior, and crispy mini eggs. I'll gladly order the cookies again, even without the mini eggs. It's my kind of cookie - crisp and chewy.

Cadbury Mini Eggs Dream Donut

The Cadbury Mini Eggs Dream Donut was alright. It's the Vanilla Dip donut with Cadbury Mini Eggs on top. If you're undecided on which one to get, go for the Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies.
