Kirbie's Cravings

Flavor Del Mar

We really enjoyed our meal at Flavor Del Mar last year and vowed to be back. Of course our plans to return kept getting delayed. We finally made our way back recently, and just...

Eggless Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

The cookies bake up just like regular chocolate chip cookies and pretty much taste like regular chocolate chip cookies except they have no egg. They have a thick center, while the exterior is slightly...

Healthier Pizza Dip

While most people having been trying to honor New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy, my mind has pretty much been occupied by what I want to eat during Super Bowl Sunday. I’ve been coming...

Opera Patisserie

DH and I really enjoy having lunch and desserts at Opera Patisserie. The little French cafe is always completely packed when we visit, all the way until closing. I wish they had longer operating...

One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies

Truffle Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chocolate truffle cookies are a fun way to dress up a regular chocolate chip cookie. Each cookie is stuffed with a rich chocolate truffle that melts while the cookies bake. When you take...

With the cold weather, DH and I have been constantly craving ramen and tsukemen. We recently stopped by RakiRaki again and I thought it was time for an updated post since there have been...

Cheese and Yogurt Quick Bread

I’m always obsessed with finding new and quick recipes. I recently came across a savory sour cream quick bread recipe which looked promising and also allowed me to lighten up the recipe by using...

Sab-E-Lee (New Rancho Penasquitos)

The Original Sab-E-Lee recently opened a new location in Rancho Penasquitos. After Kirk first reported of a new Sab-E-Lee was opening, I was really excited to check it out. I’ve always enjoyed the original...
