mmm...The Fig Cafe

Our good friend Bryan is the chef & general manager at The Fig Cafe in Glen Ellen. We love this place. The food is fresh and delicious, and not too fancy schmancy, it's kind of the perfect place to eat. The mac 'n cheese (grown-up style) is out of control, and Dave loves the steak with blue cheese butter. Last night I almost got the scallops over corn risotto(next time!), but I don't usually stray from my usual. Arrive early, there's always a line out the door and they don't take reservations. For out-of-towners, it's a perfect excuse to spend a day in the wine country. Check out their great reviews. One more thing - no corkage fees, so bring your own vino!

I blew it {a carbfest weekend}

I blew it big time, my wheat-free, sugar-free "cleanse" went out the window this weekend. From the big burrito on the beach, to the delicious grown up-mac 'n cheese last night at The Fig Cafe (it was SO worth it). It's back on, of course, but weekends are hard and my self control is almost non existent...what to do?
If you feel like really going for it, here's a great recipe.
