This post is a little different as we have not reviewed anything other than restaurants.  However, I've had such a great experience with Jule's Wellness Lifestyle Subscription Box so far that I wanted to share it here on the blog.  Also, they feature several food items in their boxes so I thought it would be relevant.  If you're interested to know more, read on.
Taste Trekkers Guest
Recently we were invited to write a guest blogger article on Calgary's "Top 5 "for Taste Trekkers.  Our love for French food inspired us to write "The Top 5 French Bistros in Calgary", highlighting our favourite bistros to date.  What is your favourite French restaurant?  Do you have a Top 5 list of food experiences for Calgary or your city?

What is so special about organic beef you ask? In our opinion the flavour is more intense, the texture is usually more tender and in general it just feels like you're eating beef as opposed to the shrink-wrapped, watery meat that you get at a lower price. I don't want to come off sounding like a beef snob, but when it comes to special occasions where steak is on the menu, you just feel more satisfied going with the higher quality organic beef even if the price is higher. 
In our books, Kingsland Farmer's Market is still the best in the city. It might not be as trendy or pretty as some others, but what it lacks in aesthetics it makes up for in quality vendors, a welcoming atmosphere  and what we think are some of the best food stalls in town. Here is a recipe for an easy to make and delicious chopped salad that makes the most of the fresh ingredients we found this weekend.

Cheddar cheese ice cream- say what?!
This is a quintessential autumn recipe that takes advantage of the butternut squash that are in season.  Add some simple ingredients like cheddar cheese, aromatic sage and you have a delicious "pizza" that can be made in under an hour.  The flavours are rich, nutty and earthy- perfect for a chilly fall evening.
