Recipe: Flat BBQ Chicken
Flat BBQ chicken – it screams summer. Not only is it delicious and full of flavour, but it also cooks faster and more evenly than a whole chicken. A while back I made a flat chicken in the oven and said I wanted to try it on the BBQ – mainly I wanted to try and get close to the best chicken in Mexico. I can proudly say, this chicken is good – so good, and I’ve made it 3 times now, it’s that good.…

Travel: Victoria Eats
Victoria eats 2019 – some of our favourite places to eat in Victoria. We had some places we didn’t enjoy so much (Cafe Mexico, Be Love) yet they’d still get a 6/10. Just not worth it in my opinion. All of these places below – at least an 8 or 9, if not 10 out of 10. First up, La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop. They’re open late and offer some upscale tacos that bring some big flavours. This is the same chain from our Vancouver…
