I received free groceries in exchange for an honest review of Milk & Eggs. 

Milk and Eggs delivers farm-fresh groceries directly to your door, saving you  valuable time and money. Their selections can all be found on their website, including everything from fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, dairy, and local artisanal products. By using Milk and Eggs, I’ve managed to make my grocery and household shopping easier. With such a hectic schedule this service is a life saver.  Delivery service currently includes Los Angeles County and most of Orange County (check out the map below). Imagine how nice it would be to wake up in the morning knowing your grocery shopping is already done and is waiting for you at the door. All you have to do is open up the door and put your groceries away. Pretty sweet.

With Milk and Eggs you are getting the freshest foods possible because they are farm direct which cuts out shelf and long transit times for the freshest foods. They deliver to your door for free saving you time and money! Your groceries are delivered in these bright yellow bags that are reusable. Here’s what was inside my yellow grocery bag. All the food was kept nice and cool in here. On the bottom was a large ice pack.

Milk and Eggs is inexpensive (lower than Whole Foods) because the produce comes straight from the farms, cutting out the costs of a middle-man. If you buy the same groceries on a regular basis you can subscribe to weekly or bi-weekly deliveries. Deliveries come between 5 – 7am, so by the time you wake up all your yummy goodies are on your doorstep! So what did I get? Let’s take a look.

Salt Creek Grille

Salt Creek Grille

By Erin

Salt Creek Grille has some amazing eats and drinks. You will want to make this place a regular or make it a special trip anytime you are in the Southern California area!

About Salt Creek Grille

Tim McCune and his original business partner, Pete Truxaw, dreamed of creating a neighborhood restaurant tailored to their community. They envisioned an upscale yet casual American-themed grille, where friends and family would come to relax and savor a unique dining experience. It was from that dream that Salt Creek Grille was born. I think it’s safe to say this is a success as both the outside patio and indoors were packed upon arrival with folks both relaxing and enjoying a nice meal, on a Wednesday evening.

Salt Creek Grille grills their meats over hot, mesquite embers. With a dedication to sourcing responsibly, their food is crafted with the freshest meats, poultry, fish, and produce available. The menu is paired with unique wines from boutique vineyards and well-known cellars, catering to both the connoisseur and causal taster.

The menu is only one part of the dining experience. Creating a nurturing culture among the staff that emphasizes sincere and attentive hospitality is of the utmost importance and is very noticeable the second you walk through the door. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable to make dining a relaxing and memorable experience for everyone. Take a look!

This intimate organization of restaurants is located on the two coasts: Rumson and Princeton in New Jersey, and Valencia, El Segundo, and Dana Point in California.

So come experience the Salt Creek Grille way with me!

First we started out with some drinks of course!

I love blood oranges, so I just had to try the Blood Orange Margarita. It was divine. We were here on Wine Wednesday where you can get wine for 1/2 off, so my friend ordered some wine.

Next up we tried a couple of the appetizers. Boy were we in for a real treat!

Ahi Tuna Stack

Risotto & Goat Cheese “Beignets”

Then we tried one of the side salads.

The other week we were in for a very special treat to get to see one of our favorite directors, Tim Burton, be honored at a special hand and footprint ceremony at TCL Chinese Theatres. followed by a screening of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children in Los Angeles.

Over the years we have fallen in love with Burton’s many gothic and quirky fantasy films such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Frankenweenie, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Batman  and its first sequel Batman Returns, the sci-fi film Planet of the Apes (2001), the musical adventure film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the fantasy film Alice in Wonderland. To see him being honored and celebrated for all of his achievements was such a special memory to cherish forever.

It all started with a very emotional speech given by Winona Ryder who was going to introduce her dear friend and filmmaker Tim Burton. In the past they have worked together on films such as Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands. Little did she know, Burton quietly made his entrance behind her and snuck up behind her to give her a big hug.

Then Tim Burton took the stage and shared his story and his journey of how he got to where he is today. His love for his work  shined through. Next he had some help getting his hand and footprints set and posed for photos for the media.
