🛝 Park of the Week: Sunnidale Park

A great place to pack a picnic lunch and let the kids run around is Sunnidale Park in North Barrie. Due to the beauty and nature, it is a popular place for Wedding Photos but you’ll see lots of people enjoying the calm surroundings with their pets, friends and families.

📍 265 Sunnidale Rd. Barrie.

🥘 Recipe of the Week: Sheet-Pan Crispy Ramen

Ramen is a go-to comfort dinner, but making it on a sheet-pan gives it a super easy crispy upgrade. You can swap in any veggies you want, but broccoli and snow peas soak up all the yummy flavour and - paired with tender chicken thighs - make for a delicious twist to regular ramen.
