Weezy's-great little Burger in San Rafael (Terra Linda)
There's a new cute Burger place in Terra Linda called Weezy's Grass Fed Shed.The Burgers are small and priced right. The one I had was B-rad-grass fed Prather Ranch beef with bacon and cheddar cheese 3 dollars-delicious. Try their sweet potato fries fried in Rice Oil-very clean tasting. They have a good dipping sauce for fries which is made with sour cream.
621 Del Ganado, San Rafael-near Scotty's Market.
Coffee-Mate Creamer...does anyone use this stuff?
gross-it's bad for you-at least try silk soy creamer. it has all those flavors and it is not as bad.
Half Moon Bay - late lunch on a Tuesday
I love Barbara's Fish Trap for the food and funkiness!!!
Bumped in to Axis Cafe
I was working in the area and found Axis Cafe to be a complete surprise.
I really enjoyed the golden beet, goat cheese salad with citrus vinagarette-I raved about it to the chef and said I could eat this everyday-so fresh. Nice atmosphere as well.
Yogurtland in Long Beach [moved from L.A. board]
Since I spent the weekend in Long Beach, I also just discovered Yogurtland and I give it high marks. I had the cheescake yogurt with fresh Kiwi and chocolate chips. I like the self serve idea and the owner was very friendly. My daughter is obsessed with this place.
Great Crepes in Long Beach-La Creperie
I just discovered La Creperie on 2nd St in Long Beach and I just love everything about this place. The decor is like a sexy bistro in Paris.
I had the seafood crepe which was served with a lobster, basil cream sauce.I think this was the best crepe I ever had. My daughter had the chicken curry crepe with mango chutney-she loved it!! For desert, we had the Romeo and Juliet which was the classic Nutella, banana and strawberries.
They also had a nice band which wasn't too loud and it added to the ambiance!!
Sushiholic in Novato
I just discovered Sushiholic in Novato and I am very impressed. The sushi rolls were fantastic and creative. We had fatty tuna which was super tasty. This was the first time I tried multigrain rice which was very pleasant.
I also like the decor and the service was great.
Low Carb cooking (SB recipes welcome!)
Yeah, I know what you mean. I live on the Fat Flush diet-much like Atkins. I take cottage cheese and tomatos, tofu style egg salad(tofu, mayo, tumeric, capers, dill) lots of chicken and veggies. I am trying to cut back on the meat and cheese part.
For my sweet tooth, I just found Soy Slender Cappuccino drink-4 carbs for a cup and 70 calories. I also like tapioca with Splenda. I make my own and sometimes buy Cozy Shack.
Ina Garten's Chicken Pot Pie [Split from Food Media & News board]
Even tho it takes a bit of time to make, it is really a great crowd pleaser. I have made my own crusts and also sometimes buy premade ones. When I make pot pies I make enough for 2 and freeze the other.
"Fraudulent" olive oil (split from Ontario board)
I have heard of this problem in the olive oil business for years. I buy Frantoia which has a nice flavor and says it is 100% a product from Italy. It also has an explanation on the label as to the process and a discription of the types of olives used. I guess one needs to read the labels of olive oil more in order to find a good one.
Teen/Mom cooking classes?
Try Pans on Fire in Pleasanton. There is a new cooking school in Sausalito called In The Kitchen.
Wonderful Eggplant dish at E & O in Larkspur
I took a friend to E & O yesterday in Larkspur and I found that the eggplant dish was really delicious. What a great dish. We also enjoyed the corn friters which are always good. I might have to go again and take home some eggplant leftovers.
Campbells Select Harvest Soups
I have not tried Campbell's however, I have been making my own veggie soups and I am surprised how easy it is-just throw everything in the pot and season.
Good lunch at Graffiti
The 3 soups were mushroom, chicken veggie and broccoli squash-very tasty. The mushroom was my favorite.
Jason's, San Rafael - Still open?
I just ate there last week-I heard they are moving soon. Nice little place for good food.
Good lunch at Graffiti
I stumbled across a nice lunch spot in Petaluma yesterday in the newish Theater district. We shared several small plates...3 really good soups, crispy, coconut shrimp, ahi tuna, melted brie cheese in a wine sauce-my favorite. Service was friendly and the owner was very attentive.
Am I the only one who hates Harry & David?
I do like the chocolate covered bing cherries but I think they had trans fats lurking in there so I was disappointed. The other items were not very good in my opinion.
Regarding Girl Scout Cookies
I have not seen one little girl scout yet...I would like to buy a few boxes just to support them plus I really like the Samoas. I would stay away from those Sugar Free, laxative cookies-could be dangerous.
