#AD Can you say YUM?!?! Last night I headed down to the patio at @moxies on Argyle street and enjoyed some delicious food from their summer menu. This was the roasted tomatoes with whipped feta and if you can believe it it tasted even better than it looks! I also enjoyed some of their rosé sangria which is only $12 a pitcher! Check out a Moxie’s Grill & Bar near you this summer for some great food including their new plant based options! #treatyourselftosummer

Dining on the best Chinese food in Nova Scotia las

Dining on the best Chinese food in Nova Scotia last night at @theorientns by Chef Ivan Chan @kayakfishingchef. While they still serve classic Canadian Chinese food dishes they are also stepping it up a notch and creating some delicious high class and fancy Chinese cusine that is to die for. You can get take out or make a reservation for limited seating in their small restaurant. Located on the Bedford Highway in Halifax they are not to be missed! Thank you for having me!! #gifted

We were served Peking duck three ways. With a pancake, as a nigiri sushi and my favorite like a nacho on a wonton chip. There was also pork three ways, chicken and Dan dan lobster! Yum!

Today is the last day of #ReOpenCityHFX where over

Today is the last day of #ReOpenCityHFX where over 120 businesses in Halifax are participating offering sales and great food deals all around the city. #OpenCityHFX has been taking place for years in Halifax and now it’s more important than ever that we get out there and help support our local businesses.
I ate so much delicious food all over the city yesterday, here are some of my favourites!! @developns @ilovelocalhfx
.

First I enjoyed a delicious Gratitude bowl from @bliss_bowls_ at their pop up at the @holdfastcafe. The bowl was made up of a mixed berry, banana, spinach, almond milk smoothie with hemp, pumpkin and chia seeds, granola and blueberries!
.
.
.
I also LOVED the Scotch Egg from the @brooklynhalifax warehouse restaurant. A scotch egg is a British snack made from a boiled egg wrapped in a spiced sausage covered in bread crumbs and deep fried! Yum!!
.
.
.
I stopped by @guspubandgrill with @eatthistown for one of the best fish tacos I’ve had in a while! Great price of $4 each!
.
.
.
Then lastly I waited in line with the rest of the city to grab some amazing ice cream from @deedeesicecream. These are my two FAVOURITE ice creams!! ❤️

EXCITING NEWS TODAY!! I have launched a brand new

I had heard about Africville growing up in Halifax

I had heard about Africville growing up in Halifax but I can’t remember ever knowing much about it or really learning about it in school. This is Seaview United Baptist Church and is all that remains of the African Canadian community of Africville in Halifax. But even saying “all that remains” isn’t correct because in the 1960s this entire over a century old community including the church was demolished by the city for other developments. Even before it was demolished the city refused to give this community garbage disposal, access to clean water or sewage. They also built a prison and dump nearby to make the area undesirable to this close knit community of families just trying to live their lives. The community was demolished without must consultation with the people that lived there. Some were offered money for their homes, others only received $500 and others were intimidated into leaving with nothing. In 2010 the city finally apologized and the area was turned into Seaview park where they rebuilt the church which is now also a museum that you can visit to learn more about Africville and it’s people. There is a lot more to learn about what happened here and I encourage everyone to do their research and learn about Africville. Also visit humanrights.ca/story/the-story-of-africville
