Buy Some Groceries; Support the Community

I know it seems like a chore or a burden to give back to the community or donate to charity or recycle cans and all of that shiny happy world stuff.

Pears and Apples in Hot Buttered Rum Sauce

My mom used to cook apples on the stove top all the time, usually as a side for a breakfast meal of ham, rice, and biscuits.  It added the perfect sweetness to the meal…in addition to the jam or syrup we put on the biscuits!  I came up with my own version of her recipe.

SB Foodies now featured on Foodbuzz and Foodie Blogroll

There’s nothing better than enjoying a meal or a dish and sharing the experience with someone else.  That’s what compels most food bloggers to do what they do.  Well, they are hungry too and that compels them to eat but its the joy of sharing that brings them to write about food, photograph food, and […]

Fondue Night For The Ladies

After visiting the new Melting Pot in Torrance on opening night, I was sold. Good food, great service, and a location that is just as much sexy as it is classy. Talking with the owner that night, I learned that the Pasadena location has a Girl’s Night Out special that comes around every now and […]

Good Eats and a Free Bag from Fresh & Easy

 

I’m always excited when a new grocery store comes to town and Fresh & Easy was no exception.  Their Manhattan Beach location opened last July and I’ve been a fan ever since. 

The store is much smaller than your typical grocery store but has everything you’d need if you’re just running in to grab something or shopping for a week’s worth of meals.

Kogi BBQ + Doheny Club = One Wicked Night

A taco truck serving up Korean BBQ?  YES!  I’m rarely one to pass up a well made kalbi short rib.  And I figured only in my dreams would there be a day when I could have them on a warm tortilla shell.  My dreams came true last night.

Lady Bug Asian Grill in Gardena

Today for lunch I was hungry but my cravings were at opposite ends. I was starving so I wanted something heavy and beefy, like a burger or a steak. But it was hot too (80+ degrees in January!?) and I wanted something cool and light like a salad or sushi. Lady Bug Asian Grill came to my rescue!

Salt Creek Grille at Plaza El Segundo – Happy Hour

I’ve been to a couple happy hours at Salt Creek Grille and I’m always impressed.  The venue is gorgeous.  In the bar area, they have an approachable bar to the left as you walk in with waist high tables and bar stools to the right.  Moving forward past that its like a living room; there […]
