I subscribe to a blog called The Yum Yum Factor and while reading thru one of her latest posts, she mentioned a new grocery store called Adonis. Naturally I was intrigued and got into my car and drove out to Victoria Park and Eglinton to check it out. I also went online to read a bit more about Adonis as well. I learned that they are owned by Metro..from Quebec (6 locations)…and they now have two locations in Toronto. The store I visited is only two weeks old. Here’s what you need to know. The store is MASSIVE. Repeat – MASSIVE. 
Soon as you walk in, you notice the impressive fruits and vegetables. 
Then you start to notice the mediterranean food selection. ie. the selection of different cheeses and the AMAZING prepared food section. I bought a package of 3 of these pies for $5. Not bad eh? 
There’s even a bakery in the middle of the store that makes FRESH PITA. Now that’s pretty neat. (in my humble opinion) 
Of course I had to buy these two salads: Fattoush (on the left) and Tabouleh (on the right). Please note that the prices are very reasonable! 
I also bought 3 different types of cheese, fruit and vegetables, and oh yeah, an assortment of baklava. How could I not?

My mom has been making pita chips for years and then I got into the habit of making them too. It’s such a great alternative to eating a tortilla chip plus they are simple to make and freeze well. (always important for freezer junkies like me)
Ingredients:
Pita
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
chopped parsley
Method:
1. Take scissors and cut the pita into triangles. Open up the triangles and lay them flat on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper).
scissors make it really really easy!! (hint)
2. Melt the butter, and add the parsley and chopped garlic
Love the smell of butter, parsley and garlic
3. Take a brush and start painting the pita triangles – liberally or not so liberally!!
Ready for the oven!!
4. Bake in a preheated 325 F oven for 20 minutes till slightly brown and crispy.
Pita Chips!!
These Pita Chips go perfectly with hummus. Speaking of hummus…have you ever made your own? Stay tuned for that recipe!!
Happy Cooking!!
