Local Eats: Cody's

As you may know my absolute fave breakfast choice has to be Eggs Benedict and my favorite places to have it at are The Cottage or Bernini's, both in La Jolla. Their eggs Benedict are delicious!

My friend dare me to try her favorite, Cody's, also in La Jolla, CA.

I have to admit its pretty good, but my faves are still the same. But the ambiance and place is so cute and charming to hang out and have a good breakfast or meal. I put my seal of approval.

We are just a few days away from Christmas Eve and I'm sure things are hectic at everyone's house. Last minute gift shopping, menu planning, grocery shopping, etc.

I felt like changing it up for breakfast and having a little warm delight. I found this recipe online yesterday and it was my first time making french toast ever! I have to admit that it was super easy to make and it was delicious. Perfect for these cold/rainy mornings we've been having here in San Diego, CA.

Lazy Sunday...

Hello everyone!

I am enjoying a lazy/rainy Sunday at home. Hope you have a great one too!

Dad made delicious omelets for breakfast today.

Don't you love it when you get home after a week gone and this is what awaits you.
Mail glory. I sure do love it!

Local Eats: The Coffee Cup...

The Coffee Cup it's a great place for breakfast, but can't say the same about their consistency in service. Last time I went the service wasn't so great, but the time before it was. Food for the majority it's good, but some ridiculous extra charges might apply. $$

Full Breakfast & Lunch Menu here

By far one of the best Mexican hot chocolate I have ever had.

Their Breakfast Burrito it's pretty good.

Coffee Cup French Toast it's kind of a cinnamon roll style, sounds better than it is.

Add of 2 strips of bacon $3.-

They bring you fake maple syrup, if you want the real deal it's extra. Charge $1.50

Local Eats: Bernini’s Bistro

 Bernini’s Bistro it’s a European style restaurant. I truly love their Lox Benedict (remember my fave breakfast choice?) and their whole menu is delicious (at least the things I've tried). If you are in the downtown La Jolla area, you should stop by and try it out. I went last week to have brunch with my dad and brother, and had some delicious food..

The soup of the day was Mushroom soup and let me tell you I fell in love with it!

My bro had the Lasagna and it was juicy and cheesy.

 dad had the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich and I had to try a bite and it was pretty darn good too.

And of course I had the Lox Benedict and did not disappoint as always, the mix of smoked salmon, poached egg and hollandaise sauce sounds out there but it is amazing.

Above it’s their breakfast and lunch menu, I don’t know why but they only share their dinner menu online and not the others. 

Check out their dinner menu online.

Local Eats: The Cottage...

The Cottage in La Jolla, its my ultimate favorite restaurant for breakfast. I have to say that I have never (and tried a lot) had a better and delicious eggs benedict and country potatoes like theirs. It’s a must local place you have to try.
