look to Panera Bread for a fast and tasty alternative

May 10, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 10 Comments

With my busy schedule, fast casual restaurants like Panera Bread serves as a good stop no matter what time of day to grab something delicious and healthy — and QUICKLY! And if you have time to sit and enjoy your food on the premises, they offer free wi-fi, so you’ll see students studying there and […]

fresh & healthy eats at Z Cafe

April 19, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 24 Comments

When I am shopping at South Coast Plaza, the last thing I want is to waste time by going to a sit down restaurant. I want to zip in, zip out, have something delicious, quick and fresh, but without paying too much, or waiting too long. Here’s where Z Cafe comes in. Located where CPK […]

a Latin brunch with killer music

If you’re ever looking for a place to spend a fun Sunday at, look no further than Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen in Brea.

If you’ve never been to the Monarch Beach Resort you’re missing out on one of the most beautiful destinations in Orange County, if not in most of southern California. Every restaurant in the hotel has a view of the Pacific Ocean — there are six of them — and I found myself one leisurely Sunday […]

casual healthy breakfasts at Zinc Cafe

When I came to breakfast with some friends recently, I didn’t even realize that it was a vegetarian place until after we had ordered. This little Laguna Beach cafe is quaint and the outdoor seating is comfortable, casual and perfect for a leisurely bite whether you’re alone or not. We ordered at the counter and […]

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
