B8's Smokehouse Deli

2013-06-17T15:38:00.000-07:00

B8's Smokehouse Deli is not a deli, they are a full fledged amazing restaurant! When you order a sandwich you will receive 1/2 a pound of meat, my favourite was the pulled pork. While we were there we spoke to the owner and the funny chefs. Oh and I bet you will like the old cars they have there.

Check out the video!

Memphis Fire Barbecue

Fried Chicken

Memphis Fire Barbecue in Winona Ontario is situated between Hamilton and Niagara Falls and has the best Southern Food in Canada, and easily top 5 in the world. The three meals that we purchased are on the right and as you can see you get a lot for your money and damn it is AMAZING!

Now I am all for eating healthy (mainly because I am not in the best condition anymore), but lets remember that we all need to have a cheat day once in a while and this is worth it.

Brisket Sandwich

Once you walk into the Memphis Fire Barbecue you will be taken to a whole new state of mind that will bring you back to the days of home cooking at its finest. Everything at MFB has been created in their kitchen from scratch and you will be reminded of this by their information slideshow that plays over their serving station. Their slideshow explains how long they smoke each type of meat they serve, which I find cool that they would show that.

There has not been any bad reviews about this place either on any website anywhere which is a very good thing because they would have to be completely crazy.

The food is good, the waiting staff and calm, and courteous and the show they love working there as they are always up beat and explaining more options then what are just in the menu. My first time at MFB was a few weeks after I completed my first of two major knee surgeries and the staff found the best table for my needs and helped me there too.

As you can see I absolutely love Memphis Fire Barbecue and I know you will too. My dad makes review video's on Youtube and we will be creating a review on MFB soon, so stay tuned.

Loosing Weight

2012-12-03T17:26:00.000-08:00

Loosing weight does not need to be hard or become a science, loosing weight should be enjoyable and a happy time. The worst thing you can do is to look in the mirror, this will only get you down. You should also not measure your weight everyday, this will also discourage you because your weight will fluctuate each day. weigh yourself once a week or every other week and reward yourself after each successful weigh in. Have a cheat day for each successful weigh in.

Happy weight loss to everyone trying, I know you can do it!

And Have Fun!

Eating fiber can help you loose weight, fiber makes you feel full after consuming which will cut down on your total food intake this in turn will lower your total calorie and fat intake.

Mr. Caveman

I heard about this diet about 2 years ago, this diet is great but is extremely hard in our world due to all of the processed food. This diet is extremely safe for all ages and genders.

The Caveman Diet consists of only eating food that would be available to the cavemen (obviously cooking the meat though).

List of some of the food/drink you would be allowed to eat:

meat
vegetables
fruit
milk
water
real fruit juice
nuts

*If I missed something please let us know in a comment below.

I have tried this diet for a 2 week session and seen great results. If you try this diet or have tried this diet before leave your comment below on how you liked the diet.

Everyone loves pizza, and here is another twist that you could put on the pizza. You will start with some pita bread and then you will add whatever toppings that you like.

When I worked as an after school daycare supervisor this was my favourite snack to give the kids mainly because they could mix and match their topping to suit their likes and dislikes.

You can try my favourite which is below, or you can add your toppings.

7 Uses of Cayenne Pepper

2012-09-03T15:55:00.000-07:00

The fiery bite of cayenne pepper can make food sting with flavour, but did you know that this dried spice also has many practical uses around the home too?

Here are seven ways you can put cayenne to work around your home.

Protect your bird feeder: Birds are immune to the sting of chilli peppers, while we mammals are most certainly not. By adding a little cayenne to your bird feed, you can ensure the food goes to the birds, while bullying squirrels are kept at bay.
Get rid of ants: Ants are insidious creatures, exploiting any opening in your home to get at your food. Try cayenne pepper for a natural ant control solution.
Curb kitty's curiosity: cats are fiends for cables and cords. If you'd like to cure a curious cat of its chewing habit, rub a raw, sliced hot pepper on your cords, or whip up a quick hot sauce.
Protect your garden; If rabbits and rodents are chewing through your garden at night, you can protect your plants with a simple mixture of cayenne and water. Fill a spray bottle with the mixture and keep your plants coated, sending thumper to your neighbours yard in search for a free meal.
Reduce joint pain: Capsaicin, the burn-inducing substance in hot peppers, is also a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, topical application of capsaicin can ease achy joints caused by arthritis.
Cure scaly skin: According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, capsaicin cream can help reduce itching and skin inflammation caused by psoriasis.
Lose weight: Although we dont officially endorse it, quite a few celebrities have lost weight quickly on a diet of cayenne pepper "lemonade" and water. Some studies claim that cayenne works as an appetite suppressant. Check first with your doctor.
