Im a big advocate for knowing where my food comes from... if your not you probably shouldn't waist your time watching the video below that takes a look at modern day meat, poultry and fish production. In no shape or form am I encouraging you to become a vegan by posting this... it really goes back to the old saying... "knowledge is power" Interested in meet/food production? check out Food Inc. a full documentary that analyzes America's industrialized food system. watch the trailer here.

Gourmet Food & Wine expo/ D-one Restaurant

 We got our tickets and we are ready for some wine! Complimentary tickets now we feel a little special.

 Then we see how many special people there actually were and now we don't feel so VIP.

 But we finally get in and i'm happy.

 Vice was the first wine/vodka i ever tasted. It was a lil strong for my taste.

 Ivanhoe got that gooooooood cheese...seriously.

 Haaaaaay say hi to IAN! my plus 1 haahaha

 Off to catch the train to plan # 2....

 I get to my mom's restaurant and I see her having damn near a party with my co workers, a belly dancer and all.

 After watching for a little you can not help but get up and join. We had an amazing time and ate sooooo good. Drank that gooood moroccan tea, smoked that sheesha and ate some more and danced it off. SO FUN!!!!  Hi Zahra! muah

Marrakech Tent

1328 Danforth Avenue

Toronto, ON

416-466-7171

Marrakech Tent, which was a small cafe/restaurant about a month ago was viewed and snatched up by my mother. She had more in mind for the restaurant than what it already had going on, she took it upon herself to renovate and re-launch the whole project. She's in charge of the cooking and also training a couple of ladies to help in the kitchen. Words can't even describe how proud I am of her. This is just the beginning.
For some great authentic Moroccan food in Toronto, come check out Marrakech Tent. It's a cozy little restaurant right off of Danforth and Greenwood. The service is amazing, the food is delicious and definitely affordable $$

Tell them Zineb and Kenza sent you for a special discount ;)

This makes me so happy

I don't know about you but I LOVE COLD STONE! i was introduced to it VIA an ex when I went to visit him in Denver, we went there i got the chocolatiest thing on there and he got Strawberry Cheesecake, his looked waaaay better than mine so of course i took his and it was HEAVENLY DELICIOUS, at that time i have NEVER had cheesecake in my life simply because the thought of cheese...and cake...didn't sit right with me (i know that's silly but don't judge me) the point of this story here is cold stone and Tim Horton's are getting together to make my dreams come true. Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers. Locations i heard about: Bay South of Bloor (Across from Manulife) Danforth/Logan
