My Year in Food 2014

So despite my efforts, it seems I've waited til the very last day in January to share my year in food. To be honest, I'm not sure what happened to January, but I am sure of two things: #1 The Steve Miller Band totally nailed it in Fly Like an Eagle, cuz let me tell you, 'Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin, into the future...' and #2, I have been all kinds of slack with my blog these past couple of months!

Nevertheless, I have still been running around seizing foodie adventures and enjoying lots of delicious foods, a.k.a. stuffing my face and loving every minute of it! Overall, 2014 was pretty great - we spent loads of time with family and friends, vacationed in London, experienced some new dishes and enjoyed some foodie firsts - just what a good 'Year in Food' needs.

For 2015, I wish for the same. I'd also like to carry forward a few of my foodie resolutions from last year including my plan to cook more often without a recipe (so far, so good!). I'd also like to retry my Nan's bread recipe - I want to master it! Or at least succeed with it... lol. And finally, a resolution I always have - to get out to more restaurants I've had my eye on (Chinched, I'm looking at you!).

But for now, I would like to share my 2014 Year in Food. If you enjoy this, I encourage you to check out My Year in Food 2013 and My Year in Food 2012 for many more drool-worthy moments ;)

With Christmas day exactly 5 weeks and 6 days from today, it's time for the third installment of The Ultimately Foodie-Friendly Gift Guide!! As in previous years, I have searched the internet for weird and wacky and wonderful items that any foodie/non-foodie would appreciate. And as always, I've included one of my favourite Christmas songs for you to rock out to while scrolling. So without further ado, click play on the masterfully selected California Raisins - Santa Claus is Coming to Town and enjoy your perusing!

Please note, for anyone shopping in St. John's, I've spied many of these gifts in the following stores: Living Planet/Johnny Ruth, Freak Lunchbox and Living Rooms.

My Food Infatuation Turns 2!

Yesterday My Food Infatuation turned 2! And there has been quite a bit of blogging happening over the last 730 or so days! To date I've had nearly 90,000 views on over 130 posts, and I've been very busy on social media. In addition to my Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, I've created my first two YouTube videos and a Google+ account. Still really enjoying the blogging-life and looking forward to keeping it going for a third year!

Once again, thanks to all my followers and supporters. Keep the comments and shares coming, and stay tuned for lots of new recipes and foodie fun! ;)

My Food List Challenge Pledge

Have you seen this on FB? 'The Food List Challenge'? It's supposedly a list of foods that qualify you as a foodie. Seems like an odd mix of things to be honest - some of the things on here seem legit, but dishes like Frito Pie? Moon Pie? and Hostess Fruit Pie? leave me a little skeptical of its authenticity and makes me think someone thought 'oh man this needs to be a list of 100 not 86, quick think of some random foods...'. To be honest, I question the credibility of the list and would much rather see the 'must eat' list put together by the food network chefs instead... I have a funny feeling Pocky wouldn't make the cut!

My Food List Challenge results as of June 2, 2012

Entry numero uno

Entry numero uno

I don't know about you but I take more pictures of my food than some people take of their own children. Clearly I have issues...but moving past that, I've decided I need an outlet to display my obsession. Surely there are others out there like me, those who might be interested in what I have to say...at the very least someone in the market for a new recipe?!

This blog will feature everything under the moon about food - recipes, reviews, articles and then some. The one thing you will learn is I love everything there is to love about food, with the exception of its calories...

So I hope you enjoy my blog, after all, cornering unsuspecting family and friends to show/tell of my kitchen adventures was starting to get awkward ;)
