Dessert at D'errico's in North Haven, CT. I really should write down the names of these things! Whatever kind of cake it was, it was fabulous.

Los Mariachis Mexican Food - Wallingford CT

Skinny Margarita Los Mariachis Mexican Food in Wallingford, CT. This place is the real deal. Family run, freshly made food with an in-town feel and a place to go and just relax. No hustle and bustle of corporate food thankfully! It's a new/old favorite restaurant of ours. The bar area has recently been repainted in darker colors and expanded into a horseshoe shape. Much better for conversation and holds a few more people than before. We like to go to Los Mariachis and eat at the bar for a quick, informal meal once in a while. There is a great happy hour special Sunday to Thursday from 4 to 7PM that includes a margarita and an appetizer. YUM! My favorite appetizer food are the tamales. They are so good! They are the real thing, perfectly held together with the right consistency of a home made tamale. You can even see the lines from the dried corn husks that held them together. Stuffed with pork and hot or mild (you can one of each) the hot ones are perfectly

The Essex Restaurant Centerbrook CT

The Essex Restaurant Centerbrook, CT Dreams do come true. A few weeks ago I had a dream that I was walking through waist high water towards a small village. Water in dreams most often means a good thing to come. Once in the village I found myself standing inside a fish market. There were beautiful displays of fish on all sides of the market and in the center the fishmonger was preparing the cuts of the day. I asked for some fish and he proceeded to cut them into small perfect squares. They were about 2 inches high, clear, translucent succulent looking pieces of perfect fish. Since that dream I've had a craving for a piece of white fish and I finally found it here at The Essex Restaurant in Centerbrook, CT. My husband and I love going out to dinner for new eating experiences. We had gotten into a rut recently and had been visiting the same favorites for a while and therefore we had somehow missed hearing about The Essex. Until this past Friday that is when

Time for Low Carb

I really got into the low-carb diet a couple of years ago and I loved it because I could eat the things I love the most. Like all diets, the same old bad habits crept back in little by little. I've never been a big processed food person, with cabinets stocked full with cereals, boxes of processed foods, freezers full of ice cream, and bags of snack foods. But you can't start each day thinking low-carb AND then go and eat something sweet or a half of a muffin, go out and eat some french fries there, have some crunchy snack, and do that daily without the pounds creeping back on. This is the time of year when we are faced with even more carb laden choices flung in our faces daily. It just makes me more aware of how I want to make the change back to low carb. I actually really liked eating like that. It made it so much easier to eat in a restaurant because I could narrow the menu down to a few choices instead of hemming and hawing about all the things I really wanted to eat. Even t
