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!
The produce is organically grown, ripe, and freshly picked - not picked before ripened from a huge farm 2000+ miles away and shipped to your local grocery store. Garden of Eden also has an option for grain fed, organic beef and chicken.
If you have been looking for a healthy, convenient way to increase nutrition, while decreasing your grocery bill

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!
If you have anything you would like to see covered in our blog, please let us know. We are always here to answer questions and meet your San Diego real estate needs.

Carlsbad, CA – PF Changs Restaurant in Carlsbad Now Open
Carlsbad, CA - If you live in Carlsbad, Encinitas, or Oceanside, you might feel like Mike and I do – that we have been missing some great moderately priced, chain restaurants. These cities all are known for their many, amazing local restaurants, especially along the 101. We have commented on some of our favorites – Swami’s, Honey’s, St. Tropez, etc.
Click below for menu, etc.
But right across the street from the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, we have had both a new PF Changs and a BJ’s Restaurant open in the past few weeks, just in time for the holiday rush. As PF Changs has been open less than three weeks, it has been packed every time we have gone in. Also, as we are in November, and the real holiday shopping starts this week across the street at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, expect
PF Changs to be busier than normal.
PF Changs’ menu is diverse enough for any Carlsbad foodie! They offer Gluten-free options, vegetarian options, and then your typical Asian fare. You can order a meal large enough to share for under $15 - or you can order your own and have leftovers for days! At a time when Carlsbad families are typically being a bit more frugal, it is great to have a couple more moderately priced family restaurants!

La Costa Town Square Update
Carlsbad, CA – As most La Costa, and in particular La Costa Oaks, homeowners know, construction has been halted on La Costa Town Square indefinitely.A local community organization, North County Advocates, has filed a lawsuit requesting that the development be changed to be more reflective of the neighborhood that it is part of. The corner of La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road is already one of the busiest intersections in Carlsbad.
However, in addition to the legal troubles regarding La Costa Town Square, there are also has supposedly been a denial of the project from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. According to a local newspaper, the project failed to comply with local water standards. Supposedly, the denial letter was received in July, however the information was never shared with the public.
We have tried to reach Aspen Properties to get some clarification. However, since the stop of development, they have not returned our calls or emails.
We will continue to try to keep Carlsbad, La Costa, and La Costa Oaks residents informed about updates to La Costa Town Square.
If you or anyone you know has questions about La Costa and Carlsbad real estate, please contact The Mewborn Team. Our objective is to be your La Costa and Carlsbad real estate expert resource!
