4. Aji Sai Japanese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 603-3366
Hello, my name is Aeryn and I'm a Japanese food addict.
Good, now that's out of the way...
I'm always looking for a new favourite sushi bar, and have not found anything better yet than Aji Sai's all-you-can-eat dinner for about $20 per person (not sure…More »
5. Lotus Inn
I rate my Chinese restaurants by the way they make their sweet & sour chicken balls. I have to say, Lotus Inn has made the best ones I've had since I've moved to the Junction area. And for that alone, I'll order from them again the next time I…More »

The interior of Dr. Generosity is very cozy with dark cherry stained wood decor, low lighting and warm service (the wait staff seems to be always *happy*).
And their breakfasts are hard to be beat. The hubby and I…More »

When flannel or paisley were your best choices of fashion while growing up, because you were a little bigger than XL to be comfortable, Addition Elle was at the rescue when I walked in for the very first time back in 2000-ish.
Finally, I was able to…More »

Best Places to Shop Gluten Free (3)At six months of age, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Growing up, all I knew was that this meant I had to have milk-substitutes instead of the real deal, and my parents would have to drive down to the Sick Kid's in downtown Toronto to purchase dough for bread, so that I could have sandwiches like any other kid.For whatever reason, my parents thought that I had "grown out" of this allergy to wheat and dairy products (essentially anything that has gluten in it, including All Purpose flour) when I was around eight; so I began to eat all the foods that my friends did. Looking back now, I was always uncomfortably bloated and gaseous - right up into university; and never understood why all the other kids didn't seem to be in pain right after lunch every day. Long story short, I've recently discovered what it meant to be intolerant to foods with gluten and have found that I live MUCH better without it. I might not have Celiac Disease as what was first diagnosed, but I definitely have an intolerance to gluten. Problem is, it's in practically everything. Or it was. These days, there are lots of products displaying a "Gluten Free" banner on their label which I'm now having fun discovering, but it can still be difficult find these items at regular stores. So here's my list of places, mostly found in the Junction area that sell Gluten Free foods. |
