Lunch at Los Amigos for Matt's Birthday! We recently discovered a Mexican restaurant in town, Los Amigos. Not new, but new to us. I'm so glad a neighbor convinced us to check it out one day. They are a family owned business with two locations in Southern California: Lake Elsinore and Oceanside.…

Tilted Kilt - Irish Hooley Menu In honor of St. Paddy's Day, Tilted Kilt brought back their Irish Hooley Menu. I know what you're thinking: Tilted Kilt is a chain restaurant, what are you doing there? After an unsuccessful attempt the previous week, we decided to go to Killarney's in Temecula.…

Baklava - A Work of Love I LOVE Baklava. When we attend the local Greek Festival every year, I make sure to buy some. It's crunchy, sweet, the sauce is delightfully sticky. Figured I should make some myself while we are celebrating Greece. Though only four ingredients for the main part,…
Pangaea - Finally! We finally made it to Pangaea! We made sure to arrive early enough this time, so we didn't miss out. This was more of a sit-down place than Daphne’s California Greek, and as such the food and experience were much different (in a good way). We were immediately greeted…
