The aromas entice your taste buds, and the flavors simply satisfy them.  If you’re in the mood for mouth-watering barbecue ribs, tender tri-tip or perfectly seasoned chicken, Stonefire Grill is the place to be.  Now celebrating ten years in business, it’s no wonder why Stonefire is so popular.  Mix exceptional service with delectable food and you have the perfect place to dine.

Single in Santa Clarita

Single in Santa Clarita

By now, we all know that I date fairly regularly.  I would never label myself a “serial dater.”  I’m not out there dating just to date.  I’m actually looking for that one person to grow old with.  I don’t even particularly like dating, although once in a while I find myself truly at ease with someone, enjoying my time so thoroughly that I look forward to spending more time with him.  This isn’t one of those times.

The Cool Before the Heat

The Cool Before the Heat

This time of year is my favorite because Santa Clarita is still relatively cool and I get to drive down to Santa Monica through the “June gloom” which still seems to be hanging around down south.  It even sprinkled on me as I was shopping at the farmers’ market this past Wednesday.  I prefer the cool weather so I don’t glow with perspiration when I carry all the fruit and vegetables to my car up a flight of stairs.

Fresh and Flavorful: Egg Plantation Delivers Great Food in a Green Kitchen

Fresh and Flavorful: Egg Plantation Delivers Great Food in a Green Kitchen

Celebrating their 10th anniversary in October, Egg Plantation surely is doing more than one thing right.  It’s a love story that began many years ago before owners Simon and Shannon Mee had even met.  At the young age of 14 Simon knew he wanted to own his own restaurant and the Mee’s will tell you how much they love the restaurant business.  Each week Egg Plantation uses over 6,000 extra large farm fresh eggs, making each of the delicious dishes from scratch, with no MSG or trans fat.  Egg Plantation is also extremely proud to be the first certified green restaurant in Santa Clarita.  What does that mean you may ask?  The Green Restaurant Association’s program rewards restaurants with points in seven environmental categories: energy, water, waste, disposables, chemical and pollution reduction, sustainable food, and sustainable building materials.  To become certified, restaurants must meet the following criteria: accumulate a total of 100 Points, meet a minimum of 10 points in six of the seven categories, have a full-scale recycling program, be free of Polystyrene foam (Styrofoam) and implement a yearly education program.  To date, Egg Plantation has earned over 115 points within their program!
