Pacific Coast Grill...Great Food Great View!

I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner at the Pacific Coast Grill in Cardiff by the Sea with my in laws.  What a beautiful venue!  The food was great and the view was also spectacular.  Give it a try next time you are in the  area.  This restaurant is a lovely 10 mile beach drive down the coast from the Pelican Cove Inn Bed and Breakfast .

Valentine Angel Kisses


Angel Kisses Cookies
½ cup butter
¾ cup peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 TBS milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
About 30 chocolate kisses
Preheat oven to 375.  Cream butters and sugars together until fluffy.  Add egg, milk and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add flour, baking soda and salt.  Form into balls (about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter).  Roll in sugar.  Flatten a little bit.  Bake for 8 minutes.  When they come out, press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into each cookie.  Enjoy! 
** This is the same recipe I have posted before, just dressed up for Valentine's Day and used Resees cups instead of chocolate kisses.

Baked Grapefruit

This is a great way to serve grapefruit if you are looking for something a little different.  Just put some butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on top and broil for 7 minutes.  Really good on a chilly day.

Homemade Lemonade!!

Our lemon tree in the back yard is producing so many lemons!  My husband, Kris, makes the best homemade lemonade.  When he makes the simple syrup for the lemonade, he adds a couple basil leaves for an added refreshing flavor.  It is so delicious!  We will enjoy it while we watch the Superbowl.
