So I bought a chicken teriyaki and rice noodles for lunch one day and I thought to myself: “That looks easy.” And it is. I’ll admit I’m no cooking expert, but if I can do it, so can you.
Quick and Easy: No Name(R) Maple Style Beans
We used to occasionally eat beans when I was a kid. They are fairly healthy and cheap. While in University I found “Maple Style” Beans and figured I should try it out (I have a sweet tooth). So I tried it and I like it. It takes only 45 seconds in the microwave to heat up half a can and it tastes great, much better than regular beans. I like to eat it on weekends since it is a little heavy on the stomach, but for some reason it makes me feel good after a late night. I specify the (ironically named) No Name (R) Maple Style because it is the cheapest and tastes the best by far (mainly compared to Heinz Maple Beans). Nutrient Info:

The Salad King is a very popular restaurant in Toronto. There is a good variety of Thai dishes, including curries, noddles, meat, seafood and vegetarian. You get to choose your dish’s level of spiciness from mild to 20 chillies. It is a great place to go for lunch or dinner.

My parents helped me move into Toronto this past Labour Day. After we moved my stuff in, we went out for lunch. Since it was Labour Day not much was open. Eventually we came across The Pour House, which already had a few people in there for lunch.
The menu there had a large variety of food: Irish dishes, pizzas, pub food, burgers and I remember seeing some Asian food. There was also a brunch menu for weekends and holidays.
