Alert! Delicious donuts coming your way!…read more Check out the likes of these babies. My lovely friend and coworker Angie at Black Dog Ranch (check out her account for adorable dog photos) has a beautiful ranch south of the city and she led me to these donuts that are the talk of Black Diamond. Naturally I had to get my hands on some. Rules for ordering your Westwood Donuts: 1 They change up their flavours every week, so if a round appeals to you, jump on it! 2 You have to place your order on Wednesday before they sell out. Don't press the snooze on this. 3 There's only a short window on Saturday for pick-up (12-3PM on Saturdays). Once you've completed the steps above, you're on your way to donut heaven. RATING: 9/10 - Westwood: Donuts The dough is everything you want it to be--soft, fluffy and fresh. It makes a great base for the various donut creations. I had the pleasure of trying these flavours: Chocolate Fudge Filled: With rich chocolate custard and coated in cinnamon sugar. You can't go wrong here. Banana Cream Pie: This tasted exactly like it sounds. Fragrant banana custard with whip and bananas on top. If you did a blind taste test, it would be hard to differentiate this from the real pie. Nerds Glaze: Imagine a blue raspberry starburst. This one was sweet, tropical and sour. Lemon Glaze: Pound cake in donut form. I adored the natural lemon flavour! The Banana Cream Pie stole my heart, but they were all worth writing home about. I can't wait to have an excuse to try these glorious donuts again and check out Westwood's food and patio. Black Diamond here I come!

Date Night Win! 10/10 Would Drive from Calgary Again!…read more So, my boyfriend and I escaped the city of Calgary for a much needed date night and ended up in the charming little "old town" of Okotoks. This is all thanks to the powers of TikTok and a very convincing For You Page that I stumbled upon. That's how we found Heartland Café, and honestly? It was giving romantic fairytale meets historical church vibes. Gorgeous interior, stained glass, cozy lighting... I wish I, "we", dressed a littles more fancy than the table we sat at! To start, I sipped on a crisp glass of Chardonnay (chef's kiss), while he channeled his inner Don Draper with a whiskey sour. We kicked things off with the oven-baked brie and beet purée. Was it amazing? Yes. Were we also starving? Absolutely. But I stand by it, it was creamy, melty, and just what our hungry souls needed. P.S. you can ask for more bread ;) we surely did. For mains, I had the pecan-crusted chicken which was a beautiful, crunchy masterpiece. Also moist, very moist. He went for the duck gnocchi, which he described as "super rich", right before devouring the entire thing like a man possessed. No crumbs, zero! Then came the blackberry orange panna cotta. I'm still emotionally recovering from how good it was. If you go, just trust me: don't share it. I made that mistake. Regret. Deep, delicious regret. Another thing we loved? The relaxed, European-style pace of the whole evening. We were never rushed, seating to paying was about an hour and a half, and it gave us that rare gift: quality time. Just me, the love of my life, great drinks, and food. Shout out to all the servers and chefs! Heartland Café is a hidden gem. Romantic, cozy, delicious--and 100% worth the drive from Calgary. We'll definitely be back. With two panna cottas. Minimum.

It was pretty busy but we were lucky to only wait about 5 minutes before we got a table. Cute and cozy vibe. I can't recommend the cinnamon bun enough, perfect and soft and not overly sweet since it wasn't smothered in icing. I cannot stress enough to get the huevos rancheros, omggg to die for. The breakfast burrito was also fire. Our little one loved the kids waffle won sausage and a chocolate milk. That with two coffees came to around $65.
