California Eatin'

                 


I'm going on a little impromptu trip to California this week and I am going to be stuffing my face with food! Growing up in Ventura, CA  I have had the pleasure of being introduced to some of my (still) very favorite food stops, and every chance I get I am trying to go back.

You don't see flowers like these in Vegas!

And its way too HOT to sit outdoors in Vegas...

Avocado trees for days! Guacamole anyone??

 I will literally plan our family vacations around where we are going for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I know it sounds ridiculous and probably drives my family crazy but they are just too good to pass up. We don't have them in Vegas! And I very rarely make it back to my hometown these days... sooooo I win lol! ;-) That being said, I will be eating and writing about all of my favorite spots in the days to come (unless of course I go into a food coma and cannot move, let alone, think or type!). In that case, you'll hear about them soon!





But just to give you an idea, here are some of my favorites: Yolandas,

Chicken Fajitas from Yolandas

 Royal Bakery,

Chicken Walnut Salad-the best thing EVER!!

Great Central Steak & Hoagie, Allisons Country Cafe and of course Corrales! Absolutely delicious, and for me, completely nostalgic. Win win! When I'm not busy stuffing my face with these addictive food items, I am going to try to check out a couple of new(to me at least) places that come highly recommended: Lure and Anacapa Brewing. We'll have to see how they add up! If I have any more room that is... Haha! Then, IF possible, I am going to see if I can convince Lisa to teach me how to make some of these for myself at home! ;-)
