The Amazing Mel and Her Amazing Victuals

Many of these photos are taken on my phone.  Sorry.  I would have gotten my camera, but it looked so delicious I couldn’t wait to get this food into my mouth, never mind setup up camera shots.

Mel is the owner, operator and unbelievable chef at Moosehead Estates in Mattawa, Ontario.   The first dinner, and I came to peace with the fact that I would not be loosing any weight on this ATV trip – because her food was so scrumptious I ate till I couldn’t move every day!

And I am 100% ok with that!

Everything at every meal was perfect.  Mel left no detail out.  Even the water was beautiful!!!

Mel does all the cooking for you.  She creates these magnificent and gourmet coursed meals from local and fresh-from-her-garden ingredients.   Dishes like pork tenderloin with raspberry sauce (which I nicked named Saucesomness),

There was so much more than this as well, but these are the photos I have (many dishes I just started eating, in my gluttonous fashion).

Moosehead Estates is more than just a beautiful place for a holiday, retreat, or unique business meeting spot.   It is also a fully catered lodging that comes with the most delicious food ever!

 

CHEERS!
