Old Style Pizzeria Flavor in Newport Beach – Fresh Brothers | @FreshBrothers

Since we had Monday off of school, I decided to take the family down to the beach. Figured it was the perfect opportunity to get in our annual holiday photo since I’ve been thinking about our Christmas cards. For lunch, we just had to check out the new Fresh Brothers in Newport Beach, since I had heard they have finally made their way out to the OC.

Fresh Brothers started off with brothers – Adam, Michael, and Scott who grew up in Chicago with a love for old style neighborhood pizzerias. Scott opened the Miller Pizza Company in Chicago, and in 2008, Adam and Michael decided to start their own pizzeria with a California twist in Manhattan Beach. With handmade pizza dough and their very own pizza sauce made fresh daily, families will love Fresh Brothers pizzas.

A Casual, Classy Night Out at Calivino Wine Pub | @CalivinoWinePub

Living in Anaheim, the hubster and I love any chance we get to sample a new local restaurant. Opened since right around Mother’s Day, May 2014 Calivino Wine Pub is the perfect spot for date night, especially if you are visiting The Honda Center or Angels Stadium of Anaheim or even an event at the The Grove for a special event or performance.

Calivino Founder Daniel Bradley designed and built the Calivino Wine Pub concept from the ground up with a casual comfortable feel. For those who are interested in relaxing and catching a game on the big screen tv above the bar, a comfortable couch can be found in the corner. High top and low top tables in settings of four can accommodate larger parties.

Burgers Galore at Smashburger | @Smashburger

Do you have a “comfort food”? I certainly do – it’s the hamburger! My kids have become just as enthusiastic about a great burger as I am, so when I was invited to sample Smashburger, the kids were super excited.

A twist on the typical hamburger, Smashburger takes the burger to a new level. Every burger starts with a fresh, never frozen, ball of natural 100% certified Angus beef. You also have the option to select a tender marinated chicken if you prefer a different option.

Nitrogen Infused Ice Cream is a Hit at The Creamistry | @CreamistryInc

My daughter is always asking me when she can have a play date with her school friends, since they had so much fun at our last one. I decided it was time to surprise her and invited her friend, and her friend’s mom out with us to grab some ice cream before we picked the older siblings. It was time to try out the new ice cream shop I’ve heard a lot about – the Creamistry.

Since we had about an hour and a half between pick ups, we grabbed the girls and were on our way to the Creamistry in Cerritos that boasts made to order, liquid nitrogen infused ice cream.

The Frites Have Arrived at Mimi’s Cafe | @mimis_cafe

Last week a few friends and I were invited to Mimi’s Café to sample their new menu items and frites that are already being offered in a location near you.

Imagine the cuisine of France. Mimi’s Café’s culinary team spent more than two months in France, perfecting authentic frites. Haven’t heard of frites? Well, you’re not alone. I was told Frites are hand cut, fried to ordered fresh potatoes that are seasoned with a little sea salt and fresh herbs. Yes, basically they’re considered “French Fries” – but they are quite amazing, and are now the center of the new entrées added to the Mimi’s Café menu.

Loved The New Fresca Bowls at Del Taco | @DelTaco #Deltaco #FrescaBowls

As my husband tells me, I’m pretty picky when it comes to food. I just keep telling him that I like what I like, and there isn’t much of a variation there. I typically do not stray from my favorites, but, when it comes to Del Taco and their new Fresca Bowls, I’m glad I did.

You’re Invited to the Grand Opening of Boudin Bakery, HB | @BoudinBakery

Last week we heard about a special event at the new Boudin Bakery location in Huntington Beach. Over the weekend Boudin Bakery partnered with a local charity; The McKenna Claire Foundation and invited the public to sample the new restaurant during service training days, on the house.

It is so great to be able to support a local cause as well as the Grand Opening of one of our favorite restaurants, we decided to make an evening of it.

Chronic Tacos, Al Pastor Taco Plate, Downtown Fullerton, Family Night Tacos

A Little Family Time at Chronic Tacos & Giveaway | @eatchronictacos #ChronicTacos

Tacos! I LOVE TACOS! Especially a good burrito! You know, I can eat Mexican food for practically every meal and I’d be content. Having heard of Chronic Tacos, I was excited at the opportunity to visit a local restaurant and experience the “Chronic Taco”.

Become an Official Pirate at The Pirates Dinner Adventure | @PirateDinnerCA

We took the kids on a family fun swashbuckling adventure at the Pirates Dinner Adventure in Buena Park. Such a fun family experience, I’ve decided to add it to our Summer Bucket List for next year!

The Pirates Dinner Adventure in Buena Park is a great interactive experience for the whole family.

Family Time in Las Vegas, NV |@DTContainerPark @babystacks_cafe #WilleyMobileAdventures #RoadTrip2014

For our two week road trip, the first stop was Las Vegas. My mom and step-dad moved there over a year ago, so we try to visit as often as we can. Besides, the kids just love hanging at their place, I mean who wouldn’t with a pool and a putting green?

They live about 25 minutes from the strip and have many fun places to share with us when we get into town. For instance, The Container Park.
