Last year on our two San Diego outings we sampled some of the local fare, mainly breakfast and continued that on our latest trip. After enjoying both Richard Walkers Pancake House and Queenstown Public House we were ready to continue to see what San Diego had in store for us. This time I left Jenn with the task of finding us a place for breakfast and she landed on Garage Kitchen + Bar a short walk from where we were staying. 

Last year when we were dealing with all of our house problems we spent a couple of weekends in San Diego at my Grandma's condo. It was a huge blessing, and made for some truly memorable and fun weekend getaways. A year later our lives have completely turned around, we're out of the house, and live in a great apartment that we love. We went back down this past weekend to San Diego to enjoy another go at the great city and enjoy some of its great cuisine. 

I'm so happy to be writing another post about Jenn and I trying a new place to eat. We're foodies through and through, and 2016 has been our resurgence into eating at new places. Before we went to go see The Book of Mormon we drove to a brand new restaurant in Irvine called North Italia. And I'm so glad we did. 

With each trip to the theater Jenn and I are taking those outing as an opportunity to go out and try new restaurants. On one of our latest outings to the theater we went and tried Capital Noodle a restaurant that just opened up next to one of our take-out go-to's, Halal Guys. 

We haven't done as many Chef Joel & Jenn's in the last couple of weeks as I'd like too but we did manage one to do a Chef Joel & Jenn during the middle of the week. We are always on the lookout for a recipe that's easy and can be as hands off as possible. This is by far one of the easiest recipes I've ever done that didn't involve the crock pot or sous vide. 

I absolutely love working from home. I've been doing it more with the new job and I find that I'm not only more productive but I get to have lunch with Jenn. We usually try to find a place and meet in the middle. This most recent lunch escapade was to a shabu shabu restaurant called Miyabi.
