Last night the Mr. and I went to San Diego’s Greek Festival. It was such a great time, and something that I opa! you don’t miss. Everything on offer was great – the food, the wine, the amazing music and dancing. This was our first time going to Greek Festival, but it will definitely not […]

Apple Cake
On Friday I decided that I wanted to whip up something sweet for after dinner. I looked through the pantry and it wasn’t as well stocked as I was hoping. I opened up the fridge, and there they were…4 beautiful apples. I knew exactly what I would bake. About a year ago, I stumbled across […]
Bencotto
As the clouds finally started drift away yesterday, the Mr. and I decided to wander down to Little Italy to enjoy a plate of pasta at one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Bencotto. I decided to try out my new Zara pants (mentioned here), and did manage to snap a photo right before we ran […]
Homemade Bread
A few years ago, my brother-in-law mentioned to me that he had started making homemade bread. My thoughts we’re something like, “what!?!?! homemade bread!?!? how do you have time for that? that sounds so complicated!” He assured me that it was none of the above, and would only take a few minutes of my day. […]
Savor the Season
We are so lucky here in Southern California to have farmers markets everyday of the week, offering what is fresh and seasonal from local farms. I think that that was one of the things that I was most excited about when we moved here (aside from the fact that it is pretty much 70° and […]
Tapas
Each year for the Mr.’s birthday, I try to pick a different theme for what I will cook for him, and this year the theme was Spain. I had so much fun picking out all of the different recipes, and we had even more fun eating them. For brunch, it was a smashing Tortilla Española, […]
Admirals Hour
If you’re looking for some delicious fresh seafood, then pop over to Oceanaire for their Admirals Hour. The service is always fabulous, and the food even better. After snagging prime seating in front of the seafood display, we dug into the menu. We settled on our drinks while debating what to start nibbling on. Feeling […]
ArtWalk
This past weekend, Little Italy transformed into an outdoor art show, hence the name, ArtWalk. We have been going for the past 3 or 4 years, and we always look forward to it – good food, good music and great art. After walking around for a bit, we both agreed that it seemed even bigger […]
Wine Not
On Saturday we headed up to Del Mar, where we had been invited to attend the San Diego International Wine Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The weather was surprisingly cloudy and overcast for Southern California, but even with the chance of showers, we figured that we might as well go, because wine not? After […]
Art Alive
This morning we had the pleasure of attending a special walk-through of the Art Alive exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. Each year floral artists are assigned a painting in the museum to recreate with flowers, using their own artistic interpretation and flair. This was our fist year attending the […]
