Armen's Cafe, Southampton...You Gotta Eat Here!!!!!

If you visit the Saugeen Shores (Port Elgin or Southampton) Armen's Cafe is the place to go for amazing food!!!  We had the grilled veggie melt on homemade focaccia bread with an iced expresso that was absolutely delicious.  Armen is the chef and everything on the blackboard menu was well thought out and reasonably priced.  They have a cute rooftop patio and the waitress was very friendly!  Rent a cottage in the Saugeen Shores and go to Armen's for lunch and be amazed!!!!!

Homemade Hummus.....A Delicious Heathy Snack

Homemade hummus is so easy, especially when you use a hand held immersion blender.  Just mix 1 can of drained chickpeas with garlic, olive oil and tahini ( you can delete tahini or substitute peanut butter) season to taste with salt & pepper and if you like add 1 tsp. cumin until smooth.  It is great served with raw veggies or pita bread at a fraction of the cost of store bought!!!!!!!!

Zoodles and Salmon (a healthy favourite)

Zoodles  ( zucchini noodles made with a spiralizer ) are a delicious alternative to pasta.  Using a spiralizer is just like using a pencil sharpener, making delicious noodles in a matter of seconds.  I like to sauté mine in garlic and olive oil for about 5 minutes and then top with a little parmesan and  a piece of salmon or chicken!!!!

Avocado and Shrimp ( A Favourite Summer Treat )

I love the flavours of avocado and shrimp with fresh lime juice!!!!  Such an easy appetizer or snack, especially when you have Vincenzo's downstairs to supply all the amazing fresh ingredients!!!!
