Summer Faves

Summer in Toronto is anything but boring. There's tons of things to do and eat!! From all the different festivals, fairs, food fests, exhibitions and amusement park that were around almost every weekend- it's hard not to give in and indulge in all the treats they offer. I've decided to dedicate this blog entry to my favourite summer treats. Unfortunately, most if not all of the treats are only available during the summer. So you gotta eat it while you can!!! (Btw if you know it's available anywhere else during the rest of the year, please feel free to comment below and let me know!)


The Thanksgiving Waffle from the Exhibition Place

Fran's did an awesome job this year coming up with the Thanksgiving Waffle- it's literally Thanksgiving dinner in a waffle sandwich!! This sandwich consists of two waffles made from stuffing, and in between was turkey, and gravy. John and I aren't a big fan of cranberry sauce so we opted out of putting any in our sandwich.

Deep Fried Oreos from the Exhibition Place

If you didn't think you should try deep frying random foods- the Ex definitely did it for you! The Ex is known for offering a random selection of deep fried goodies, and this year I got to try "Deep Fried Oreos." I have a HUGE sweet tooth so it's pretty obvious that I enjoyed this.

Funnel Cake from Wonderland

Summer feels incomplete if I don't get my Funnel Cake fix from Wonderland. This year I got to try their new flavours- Cookies and Cream and Red Velvet. They also had another flavour called "4 Berries" but I personally don't like fruits in my desserts.  The Cookies and Cream funnel cake consisted of their usual funnel cake smeared with Oreo cream-filling, topped with crushed oreo cookies, and all served with soft served ice-cream drizzled with chocolate syrup. The Red Velvet funnel cake, which is my favourite- is simply red velvet flavoured funnel cake dough served with soft serve ice cream sprinkled with sugar powder and drizzled with chocolate syrup.

I wish I was able to take more pictures of the different foods I got to eat at the different festivals, but I was too busy eating to take a picture -_-

I hope you all enjoyed reading about my summer faves for 2014, and I'm sure next summer will consist of even more amazing food!!!!!

Workout progress post to follow soon because I clearly needed to workout after eating all this!
