🤤 MAY BEST BITES: A legendary month of eats! 🍗🌮🍹🍞🍝🧆🍮

Looking back at my camera roll from May and wow... my tastebuds were living their absolute best life. 🤯 From our 7th anniversary trip to nights out with friends, the launch of Taco Week, and cozy brunches with the girls, May was packed with sensational flavors.

And honestly, some of the absolute best highlights happened right in our own kitchen! I officially mastered my homemade Jerk Chicken recipe this month (and yes, it got the ultimate Jamaican husband stamp of approval! 😍🔥).

It was incredibly hard to narrow it down, but here are the standout bites—both out on the town and home-cooked—that stole the show in May! 🙌

Honestly, May set the bar incredibly high for the rest of the year. 🏆

Slide through to see all the foodie glory! Which of these slides makes you the hungriest? Let me know below! 👇

🍓 **Raspberry Mousse:** Hands-down my favorite sweet bite of the day. So fresh!
🥪 **Chicken Pesto Sando:** My absolute favorite savory bite. The flavor was incredible. 🤤
🥞 **Cookies N’ Cream Pancakes & Croissant Avocado/Egg Sandwich:** Pure breakfast perfection.
🥤 **The Shakes:** The ultimate indulgent treat to wash it all down.

💥 BAM!! MESTIZO TAQUERIA IS IN IT TO WIN IT!!! 🌮🔥

The countdown is officially over—Taco Week & Margarita Madness starts **TOMORROW** (May 29 - June 6), and I got a sneak peek at Mestizo Taqueria’s entries tonight. Let me tell you, they completely knocked it out of the park! 🤯🙌

You guys know I am officially obsessed with fish tacos, but after tonight, I might be completely tied because you just cannot beat a good, spicy chorizo sausage! 🌶️

Here is what you need to order starting tomorrow:

🌮 The Entry Taco: A Chorizo & Potato Taco that is pure comfort food perfection. The spice from the chorizo paired with the potato is such a killer combo.

🍹 The Entry Margarita: The Blackberry Margarita! First of all, the bright pink color is gorgeous, but the flavor? Strong, sweet, and perfectly tangy. It is exactly how a berry margarita should taste! 🤤👌

🍮 They also handed me some kind of Flan Flavored Cheesecake and OMG 🤯 It was SOOOO Dang GOOD!! 🤤 You better believe I DEVOURED that! 🙌 The perfect finish 👌

❤️ Don't forget: $1 from every competition taco purchase across the city goes directly to support the Calgary Food Bank, so you can eat good and do good this week! 🙌

📍 Location: Mestizo Taqueria
124 10 St NW, Calgary
KENSINGTON

Are you team Fish Tacos 🐟 or team Chorizo 🌶️? Let the great debate begin in the comments! 👇

🌮 ALBERTA TACO WEEK PREVIEW: This spot is NOT playing around! 🍹🔥

Taco Week & Margarita Madness is officially almost here, but I got an exclusive sneak peek at one restaurant's incredible entries, and the competition is already hot! 🤯✨

🗓️ MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The festival runs for one week only from May 29th to June 6th!
❤️ EAT FOR A CAUSE: The best part? $1 from every competition taco purchase goes directly to support the Calgary Food Bank! Delicious food for an amazing local cause.

Here is the breakdown of the entries you HAVE to try:

🌮 The Battle of the Tacos: They served up a 🦌Chipotle BBQ Elk Taco that was absolutely delicious, but you guys... I am officially obsessed with 🐟 fish tacos. The winner for me was hands-down the Crispy Fried Cod Taco with mango and sriracha lime mayo. It was pure 🔥🔥🔥—the perfect crunch and sweetness!

🍹 The Margarita Showdown: I went in fully expecting the 🍓 Strawberry Coconut Margarita to be my absolute favorite, but the 🥒 Cucumber & Serrano Chili Margarita completely blew me away and won the night! It was so fresh with just the perfect amount of kick. 🌶️🥒

The Non-Competition Stars: ✨
Because we couldn’t stop there, we also tried:
🍗 Chipotle BBQ Wings: Absolutely 🔥🤩, perfect smoky flavor.
🍋 Citrus Crème Brûlée: Honestly, pure perfection to end the night. 👌

The standards have been set incredibly high for this year's competition. Get ready to eat your way through the city starting this Friday! 🏆

🍔 SHAKE SHACK HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED IN CALGARY! 🇨🇦✨

The wait is finally over! The iconic American burger chain has opened its very first Alberta location right here at Chinook Mall, and I got a sneak peek at the pre-opening event! 🥤🍟

My husband and I went in with big appetites and left as massive fans. Here is the full breakdown of our first Shake Shack experience:

🍔 The Shack Burger: Perfectly smashed, juicy, and that signature sauce is everything it’s hyped up to be.
🍗 The Chicken Shack: Super crispy and fresh—but it was the sauce and those pickles that really did it for me! 🙌
🍟 Fries: All Honesty... I'm not a crinkle cut fry girl, but these were actually 🔥. Seasoned to perfection and the perfect amount of crunch with that pillowy center.

The Great Shake Debate: 🥤
We tried two flavors and honestly... we couldn't pick a winner!
🫐 The Prairie Berry Shake: This is an Alberta Exclusive flavor! It’s fresh, local, and so delicious.
🍪 Cookies & Cream: A classic done right.

I was so ready to try the legendary ’Shroom Burger, but they actually ran out before I could snag one! 🍄😭 Honestly, it’s just the perfect excuse to head back to Chinook as soon as possible.

Calgary, are you ready to join the Shack fans? 🕊️🙌

📍 Location: Shake Shack, Chinook Centre
(Across from the Food Hall)

Which are you grabbing first: the classic Shack Burger or the Alberta-exclusive Prairie Berry Shake? 👇

Part 2: 7 years ago, we stood in this exact spot the day said our vows and exactly 1 year before that we were there and booked the venue for our wedding 🤍

At the time, we had no idea what the next few years would hold. We were just excited, in love, and dreaming about the life we would build together.

During our anniversary trip to the mountains this week, we recreated the photo we took the day we booked the venue 🥹

And somehow — completely unintentionally — we were wearing almost the exact same outfits as we were back then.

Same place.
Same two people.
Just a different season of life.

There’s something really special about looking back at old photos and realizing how much life has changed while love quietly kept growing through it all 🏔️🤍
