Tasting Box

One of the perks of being a food blogger is you get to try new things that you may not ordinarily try.  For free.  While I was in Europe, I received a Tasting Box by Foodzie…   It had all kinds of goodies including: Dried Pineapple from Peeled Snacks – Brooklyn, NY Traditional Alfajores from Sabores del Sur – San Francisco, CA Lemon Poppyseed & Almond Biscotti from Biscotti Bari – Petaluma, CA Pure Southern Iced Tea from Pluff Iced Tea – Bluffton, SC Assorted Fresh Herb Sea Salts from Woody’s Gourmet – Campbell, CA… Read more >

Fromage & fourchette (or how to make the French hate you)

After our picnic by the Eiffel Tower, we geared up for a post-lunch workout.  And by that I mean a session on France’s most scenic stairmaster.  The line to walk is way shorter than the line to go up by lift, plus, the stairs weren’t all that bad!  We learned interesting facts at each level, a new addition to the climb, which Laura and I appreciated since I accidentally grabbed the informational brochure in Greek/Italian. Seriously, I couldn’t have picked a worse one to try and decipher.  I told Laura it was practice for the… Read more >

True Food Kitchen

A few months ago my parents went to this restaurant in Newport Beach.  And when they told me about it, I was actually kinda jealous…until I found out a Santa Monica location was coming soon.  Hooray!  Kyle and I went to celebrate him being done with finals.  One year down!  Since the weather was gorgeous, we walked to Santa Monica Place.   The menu has a variety of options, from vegan to meat courses.  They even indicate which items are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free to assist the diner.  Also, the staff is super knowledgeable… Read more >

Missing in action

I’m sorry (but I’m not sorry) that I’ve been MIA this week.  Playing catch-up after being on vacay is a never-ending process.  When I haven’t been working or sleeping, I’ve been spending every single extra second with Kyle.  Absence does make the heart grow fonder, FYI. I also stopped taking photos of my food for a while because my camera couldn’t keep up with my appetite.  I’ve been doing quite a number on the fridge/pantry (it’s as if I arrived home from Europe and immediately felt the need to ravage our kitchen and make up… Read more >
