New Healthy Produce Alternative in Carlsbad
Carlsbad, CA - One of our friends asked the other day if we had seen the movie Food Inc. Although we haven’t, I know that Oprah had on her show yesterday talking about our food supply and how unhealthy it has become due to pesticides, hormones, and just over processing. More and more people around me are trying to be more healthy and eat more “organic and clean.”
I was super excited yesterday to get an email from Lululemon Carlsbad saying that they have partnered with Garden of Eden Community Supported Agriculture to become a drop off of organic and locally grown produce. In order to participate, you must go to the Garden of Eden website and choose your “pledge level.” This is the amount of produce you will receive each week. You can order a box big enough for one to a box big enough for a family of 4-5. Then every Wednesday from 4 – 6 pm, your box is available for pick up from Lululemon Carlsbad Forum. A box of produce for a family of 4-5 is only$164/mo (or $41/week)! I EASILY spend that in a grocery store – without buying that much! Read the rest of this entry »

One of My Favorite Times of Year – San Diego Restaurant Week – NOW!
Yesterday – Sunday, January 17th, San Diego Restaurant Week returned to fabulous restaurants around San Diego County. The event will run from Sunday, January 17th through Friday, January 22nd.
Whether you are looking to dine in Coronado at Peohe’s, 1500 Ocean at the Hotel Del, or Coronado Boathouse 1887, George’s at the Cove or the Marine Room in La Jolla, or maybe Jake’s or Pacifica in Del Mar, the Chart House in Solana Beach, or Blue Fire Grill in La Costa, there are options for everyone!
Now, in its fifth year, San Diego Restaurant Week is an absolute hit. This was started in 2004 to bring patrons to restaurants for a week after the summer boom, when kids are back in school, and business is typically down. Popular, exclusive restaurants started offering three course prix fixe menus consisting of an appetizer, a main course, and dessert for either $20, $30, or $40.
If you look at many of the restaurants’ menus, you will find that many of them are offering the entire three course meal for less than just the main course on a typical night. For those of you who know me and Mike, you know, we love to do nice things on a budget. I guess it is that financial advisor in me! So, we look forward to San Diego Restaurant Week each year. We always use it as an opportunity to visit some old favorites – or take a new culinary adventure!
This year, due to the lagging economy, the restaurants added a second San Diego Restaurant Week. According the San Diego Restaurant Week published reports, the January 2009 week was the most successful ever – with over 180 participating restaurants and a 22% increase in diners over the 2008 event!
At the San Diego Restaurant Week’s website, you will find a comprehensive list of participating restaurants that can be sorted by price, type of cuisine, or location. Have fun and happy dining!

My Two Favorite Things… All In One Place – Sunday, January 17
For those of you who know me (Amy) well… you may know that two of my favorite new things in the world right now are Lululemon and Pure Barre La Costa. Although both have been around for a while – I found Lululemon a year or two ago when they opened a shop in the Carlsbad Forum Shops. Fortunately Mike is pretty understanding, because I swear I came home with a new top and pair of pants at least once a week for the first couple of months! Read the rest of this entry »

It’s Open – The Counter Burgers in Carlsbad, CA
Carlsbad, CA – Apparently, there aren’t enough places in Carlsbad for a good burger! This week, we have received two phone calls asking if The Counter is open! The Counter Gourmet Burgers DID open this week, and has seen a ton of evening customers.
The Counter is conveniently located at the front of the Carlsbad Forum, immediately to the right of Jimbo’s, in the space formerly occupied by Sushi on the Rock.
The Counter menu is interesting, and if you like burgers – very diverse. You build your own gourmet burgers – from beef, to turkey, to ahi, to veggie – with tons of toppings to choose from.
So, as you are out in Carlsbad doing your Christmas shopping, swing into the Carlsbad Forum for a burger.
