Happy 1st Anniversary Dominique’s Kitchen! Special Escargots Menu to Celebrate!

Happy 1st Anniversary Dominique’s Kitchen! Special Escargots Menu to Celebrate From 10/18-10/21!

By Erin

Earlier this year I was introduced to this wonderful place called Dominique’s Kitchen. You can see more about my first experience at Dominique’s by clicking here. This week I was invited out to sample their special anniversary menu.
Now they are celebrating their 1 year anniversary here in the South Bay, in Redondo Beach, CA. To celebrate this most grand occasion they are offering a very special menu from 10/18-21 where three to four different escargot items will be on special from the list below each day. At Dominique’s making good food is an everyday occasion.
All of the items on this special menu were very tasty I must say! I could not pick a favorite as they were all so different, and had different flavors and textures to love about them! If you have ever had the chance to try escargots before, this is definitely your place to try them out at as they are delicious! I was as skeptical about trying them as the next person may be who has never had them before, but boy am I glad I have an open mind when it comes to trying out new foods. I really enjoy having escargots now! =)
I hope you get the chance if you are in Southern California to come and try out some of these special items, or that you will come and try what they have to offer the next time you are in the South Bay!

Jan’s Health Bar: Fresh and Healthy Eats!

Jan’s Health Bar: Fresh and Healthy Eats!

By: Erin

After all the fried fair food and BBQ posts from the summer, it’s time to be good and have something a bit more on the healthier side, that is still very tasty and delicious. It’s fall now, but this week is supposed to warm up well into the 80’s again so I have the best place ever for you to go chill out at and relax. It’s Jan’s Health Bar in Huntington Beach (also in Costa Mesa)! It is just a jump, hop and a skip away from the beach! Located on Main Street, it is just a few short blocks away from the beach.

When Jan’s contacted me about heading over to try out their menu, I couldn’t refuse. Smoothies? Summer Salads? A refreshing Chicken Salad Sandwich on such a warm summer’s day? Best of all, Acai bowls? You don’t have to ask me twice! Well, that would go for anything food related… but that’s besides the point.

You are probably wondering now why I am so excited about this as it’s not deep-fried anything. Take a look for yourself, I hope you can smell the freshness through the pictures that I was able to capture of Jan’s amazing offerings.

Disclosure: I was invited out to try the limited time Chile Relleno Festival Menu over at La Sandia. I was not compensated for this post and all thoughts and opinions remain my own.

With their Chile Rellenos that is! 😉 Whether you like them hot, battered, deep fried, and stuffed with melted Mexican Cheeses, Chef Richard Sandoval’s La Sandia over at Santa Monica Place has got you covered! These glorious chile peppers combine bold, authentic Mexican flavors with signature modern spins and twists that you would expect from Chef Sandoval.
