2. Centum Mortage Lending Centre Ltd
Maureen Dobranski at Centum Mortgages is "the" ultimate mortgage diva. I came to her in an absolute pinch. Like many people in 2007, I bought a house, and couldn't sell the old one. As a result, my financing fell through since my down payment was…More »

11. Mark Swain, MD

13. Crêpes & Cravings
Well, I must say... in 2010, I have had a "first".
My first savoury crepe. Luckily, Crepes and Cravings was the first to break me in.
To me, crepes are a fancy breakfast that I use to occasionally enjoy at the Hoito in my homeland of Thunder Bay,…More »
14. Crave Cookies & Cupcakes
I have two words for you.... red... velvet. Seriously, try the red velvet cupcake. Even though the cake is red, it is chocolate, and it has a cream cheese icing on it. Seriously, I don't know what they put in that cupcake, but it is mouth watering…More »

Recently updated lists from Carrie P.
Carrie's Yelp 30 Day Challenge List for November, 2011 (32) |
Drive from Calgary to Jasper - one Yelper's perspective (12)I live in Calgary, and enjoy taking a drive to Jasper a few times a year. Jasper for reasons unbeknowst to me, feels like my "home away from home". I love the scenery on the drive, and the hustle and bustle of their gorgeous little town. Check out some of my "must sees", either in Jasper, or on my drive to Jasper from Calgary. Enjoy! |
My Fave Salad Places (15)Even though not all of these places are "known" for their salads, these are the delis or restaurants where I enjoy their salads. This includes both salads to go in delis and grocery, or salads on the menu to enjoy dining in. This list is in no particular order, but I give you my word that they are all places where I have enjoyed a mouthwatering salad, more than once! |
Health Services in Calgary (9)Even though I am a healthy individual, like all of us, I have needed some assistance from time to time with the odd thing that crops up.Check out this list with my experiences with some of the services I have used in the name of health. |
Calgary Gift Baskets with Flair (3)I have used gift baskets for people who you just aren`t sure what to get them. They are either the person who has everything, or... they are someone who you work with, or do business with. Therefore a more personal gift is tougher to choose.Check out my list for three companies I have done business with in the past. I have used all three companies online, and I have also walked into all three businesses as well for either pickup, or to choose my own pieces. All in all, they all have 4-5 star ratings in my eyes, and they all deliver products with class and flair. These are not the companies you go to for a cheesy balloon arch. Choose these companies to make an impression! |
Grocery Stores a stones throw from Glenmore East (5)I live in Riverbend, and I am blown away by the choices I have in walking distance or a 5 minute drive from my house.Competition is stiff in this area, and I frequent all of them for different reasons. Check out my reviews to find out how I navigate my choices. |
Favorite Breakfast Places in Calgary (7)Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so it only seems appropriate that I create a list of my favorite breakfast places in the fine city of Calgary |
Yummy Sandwich places (11)If any of you are like Joey's from friends, and are looking for the BEST sandwiches, check it out here! |
Thunder Bay Must-Sees! (5)Thunder Bay is my home town. Even though I am a Calgary girl now, there are some places I just can't resist revisiting when I head home. |
