Casa Inka (Fountain Valley, CA)

We had a quick dinner with my family and a friend who is practically part of the family!  They picked a restaurant that I had not tried before, called Casa Inka.  We do love our Peruvian food, remember our meals at Picca and Mo-chica?  🙂 The restaurant itself is huge, colorful, and there was some lovely […]

Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese (Los Angeles, CA)

After the TEAVANA Oprah Chai event, I was seriously hungry!  I had skipped breakfast and was stuck in traffic for almost two hours before getting to the event, so all of that wonderful tea was the only thing keeping my stomach from growling.  Well, the event was held at the Starbucks on Melrose, and I […]

New Teavana Oprah Chai tea sneak peek!

Earlier today, I went to a Teavana Oprah Chai exclusive tasting event in L.A. and it was fantastic!  As always, I am giving my 100% honest opinion, so you can be sure that I’ll give you the lowdown on what you’ll be seeing in Starbucks and Teavana stores next week.  Let’s get to it! First of […]

Candle Light Bakery (Norwalk, CA)

This is going to be a short and sweet post, which is perfect because this Candle Light Bakery is a bakery with short and sweet items! My friend Mair (who is starting her own blog soon) came over to hang out for a bit, and she brought along cookies and cream puffs from a bakery I […]

Honduras Kitchen (Long Beach, CA) #3

Another delicious lunch at Honduras Kitchen!  Check out the two previous times we ate at this restaurant here and here.  This time, we went with my guy’s coworker who bought a Groupon after reading my posts.  Fun! By the way, you are in the presence of royalty… or at least Yelp royalty!  I’m the Duchess […]

Mo-Chica (Los Angeles, CA)

After meeting with the wedding planner at Urth Caffe, we went to Mo-Chica for dinner.  Warning: MANY delicious pictures coming up and if you’re hungry afterwards, don’t say that I didn’t warn you! The restaurant is located downtown in what looks like a tiny storefront. Actually, the restaurant has two rooms, with this cool bar […]

Urth Caffe (L.A. County)

We made a quick stop at Urth Caffe downtown to meet my sister’s wedding planner.  Even though we already made reservations to Mo Chica later that night, I just had to share a couple of pictures with you. First off, isn’t the building so pretty?  Too bad the power lines are in the way.  🙁  It is in […]

The Boiling Crab (western U.S.)

My aunt was celebrating her birthday in the middle of the week, and she invited us to go to The Boiling Crab!    If you remember from my last time there, it is definitely an experience to be had.  🙂  It has been almost a year since I was here, which means that we definitely […]
