The Mini

I told Carmen I wanted Eggs, but I wasn’t very hungry. She came out of the kitchen with a “Mini”

Two Eggs, scrambled; a single (but thick) slice of our Natural Cured Bacon– we cure and smoke it fresh, no chemicals or preservatives– and fresh seasonal fruit.

And the Crenshaw Melon is Fan-Tastic!

Surprise Special for Today

No Apology Gluten Free Pancakes

Why No Apology?

Because so often, gluten free products are heavy or taste flat. We’ll stack these pancakes up against any others, with wheat or not, yet they are completely gluten free.

We serve them with our own fresh made Whipped Cream and Fresh Fruit. Light and easy, they will lift you up, not bog you down.

C’mon in and try them!

Hand Sliced Bacon

Okay, the first part is that we cure and smoke it ourselves so we can get a great flavor without adding chemicals and preservatives.

The next thing is that it should feel good in your mouth, not just taste great. So we hand slice for that fresh from farm texture.

If it doesn’t taste great, look pretty, feel wonderful and make you healthy, why in the world would you bother eating it?

What spices do you use in YOUR Chicken Marinade? We talk about what makes chicken both tasty and tender.

Veggie Empanadas w/ Chipotle Sauce

We set off the sweetness of our Veggie Empanadas (spinach, mushrooms & plantains in our own fresh-made shells) with a nicely spicy chipotle sauce, whipped up fresh for a taste delight.

Perfect for hot weather! I eat them 1:1 with the beef empanadas for staying power, or have two of the veggie if O want something light.
