My Medifast Diet Experience and French Tarts

March 11, 2013

0

This isn’t a travel blog post, or restaurant review, but a food post – about french baking and diets. It all starts with my quest to perfect French baking, in November 2012. I had a burning desire to get these special exquisite desserts mastered in my kitchen -especially French tarts. I believe the passion began […]

A veganโ€™s delight! Here is a menu dedicated to you instead of just one possible choice, or ordering something with ingredients on the side or left off.

Mosaic Wine Bar – San Diego NOW CLOSED

Why I think Mosaic Wine Bar is a great place to take a date: * Artsy vibrant decor is welcoming. * Extensive Mediterranean menu and wine list has something for everyone. * Covered patio seating is spacious enough that the next table isn’t on top of you, eavesdropping. * Happy hour 7 days a week, […]

With over 7000 restaurants in San Francisco, it’s easy for a foodie to find a great place to eat. But if you are looking for the “Best Breakfast” then you might have to do some research.

Each time I go to San Francisco, and I’ve been there at least 20 times, I manage to find a new neighborhood to explore. On my most recent visit, my Dad introduced me to Union Street. We found parallel parking along the street, filled the meter with coins, and then explored the shops and restaurants. […]

La Pastaia Kitchen + Bar in San Jose, CA

Hidden within the unpretentious and historic Hotel De Anza, in the newly renovated downtown San Jose, this eatery is sure to please. While San Jose may be the mecca of technology – the headquarters for Ebay, and Google, Apple, and Yahoo headquarters in neighboring towns – San Jose is also a place for foodies. I […]

Where the Locals Eat in Tucson

MEXICAN El Molinito Excellent authentic Mexican food in Southern Arizona. There are several dining rooms so you will be quickly seated on any given day or time. Order a pitcher of margaritas to go along with tamales, burritos, and carne asada. You will likely leave with that too full feeling, but know you got your […]

Gilroy, California – Garlic Galore

Personally, I am spontaneous and fun. When working, Iโ€™m dedicated, driven, and boring. I usually stay in San Jose, near where my business appointments are, order room service, and catch up on work and reading. Yes I can be boring when I travel for work โ€“ although I will have to share my Taiwan Snake […]

I like foolproof things (and the name is better than idiot proof for sure ๐Ÿ™‚ A few things I did to change up her recipe to my liking:ย  Use Fat Free Feta, use 2 day old, […]
