Come on Down to Camarillo!

camarillo

Camarillo is just outside of the Los Angeles County limits however, it feels like a world away. Slower paced, residential and cozy, this Ventura county town has quite a bit to offer anyone who follows a special diet.  Sandwich between LA and Santa Barbara, here are a few spots worth stopping for! I’ll start with [...]

Navigating National Chains

20060825_restaurant_logos_18

Expanding on last week’s post on healthier fast food finds, I’ve compiled a list of popular restaurant chains that can be found nationwide. You never know when you are heading out for a meal with a group and need to do the best you can with the menu you are given. No matter where you [...]

Finagling Fast Food

So, there are times where despite our best efforts, our only options just might be fast food. On a road trip or in a podunk town with little to zero options for a healthy meal, I’ve found ways to navigate the fast food menu. I do not, I repeat, do not, advocate the consumption of [...]

Mexic-Angeles

Growing up in South Florida, Cuban food was my vice (even though I’m Colombian). When I go home, it still is even though I have found some pretty good Cuban fare here in town to quench my fix. But in LA, Mexican is the way to go because nothing beats killer guac and a big [...]

Los Angeles On The Go

One of the coolest things about living in LA is the access to unique services and just plain old cool stuff.

Cool sky rises, modern shopping areas, the world of coca [...]

Savory Savannah

Boy oh boy, if the lady next to me isn’t my polar opposite, food wise, I don’t know who is! But let me tell you, Paula is the sweetheart of Savannah and I can see why she calls it home. Savannah is beautiful and creepy all at the same time! Full of sleepy Spanish moss [...]

Somethin’s Cookin’ in St. Augustine

IMG_8953

There is something about being in the oldest city in the United States that evokes a feeling of pride, patriotism and hunger! Walking through the fort, going to the oldest school house and visiting the fountain of youth can whip up a mean appetite. So where can a health nut chow in an old timey [...]

Jumpin’ for Jacksonville

Back from a very long holiday trip to see family, plan our wedding and have some of our own, non-holiday, vacation time, it’s nice to be back at the keyboard ; ) One of the many cities on our 3 week winter jaunt was Jacksonville. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid so [...]
