San Diego, California

Sitting in the southwest corner of the state, San Diego is where California began, originally claimed in the name of Spain by Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. With an average annual temperature of just over 70 degrees, everyday is a good day for a trip to the beach or a farmer’s market. The beaches are everywhere and you are likely to find a market somewhere just about any day of the week—and year-round, no less. The city’s restaurants offer everything from casual takeout to four-star dining, with the fish taco as the local favorite. You haven’t truly experienced eating in San Diego if you haven’t enjoyed one of their deep fried, battered fish wrapped in a corn tortilla with cabbage and sauce.

Blueberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake I

Reviewed on Jul. 25, 2008 by StayHomeCook
Great desert for after a BBQ!! I bought some blueberries because they were on sale and then, I didn't know what to do with them! I used some in a fruit salad for the family BBQ, and then I found this recipe and realized I actually had everything I needed on hand (well, except the bundt pan, so I an used angel food cake pan, which turned out just the same). This cake was very, very easy to make and came out perfectly moist, with just the right amount of lightnes and sweetness to top off the burgers that we gorged ourselves on. I followed the recipe exactly but I did have to cook it a little bit longer, but that may have been due to my mother-in-law's oven, not the recipe. Without even having a glaze, this cake disappeared in an instant--didn't even make it to plates, everyone just ate it right out of their hands, barely even dropping a crumb! Terrific!

Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

Reviewed on Jul. 25, 2008 by StayHomeCook
Wow! I love this cake. I actually made this recipe AS DIRECTED, without any changes, additions or substitutions...that's pretty amazing for me :-) This came out very light and fluffy and was a perfect snack cake, no frosting needed. What a great way to use up some bananas--definitely better than the same old banana bread! This might even be good as a layer cake with some chocolate cream cheese frosting, but I would decrease the chips in the cake if I were going to do that...I'll have to try it next time I've got some overly ripe bananas. Thanks for the recipe!

Chewy Coconut Bars

Reviewed on Jul. 25, 2008 by StayHomeCook
VERY tasty! With a few of the suggested changes, these bars came out super great--very moist and chewy, without being overly sweet. I used regular butter instead of shortening, increased salt to 1 tsp, vanilla to 2 tsp, decreased choc chips to 1 c. (I used mini morsels) and increased coconut to 1 c. I left out the nuts 'cuz the kids aren't too fond of them, but I'm sure these would be great with either pecans or walnuts. These were SO easy to make and I can tell that they would travel well for a camping snack, school lunch or for a get-together. I ended up cutting these into 32 bars, and that seems to be a perfect size, that way I don't feel so guilty about eating two...
