I will always remember
the first time that I tried this world famous coffee cake from Carolyn’s Cafe in Redlands, California.
Honestly it’s a heavenly bite. It is served warm with butter melting all over it. And that first bite is so wonderful.
And the second, third and fourth bites are pretty amazing too.
Truth be told we took home 3 pieces that day. Trust me, when you try it you will understand why.
You can try this amazing coffee cake at Carolyn’s Cafe at 1150 Brookside Ave A, Redlands, CA 92373
Who would have guessed that
honey and pizza go together?
But I can confirm, with all confidence, that they definitely do.
Check out the Hot Honey Pie out at Fat Lip Pizza and Beer in Corona in the Inland Empire.
This pizza absolutely rocks. It’s thin, sweet, spicy and everything you want in a pizza.
I fell in love with the hot honey on this pie.
In fact, I even took a bottle of the magic concoction home with me.
Whether you want just a slice or a whole pie, this is definitely a must try spot.
Their pizzas are bomb and their beer wall is AMAZING!
Your next pizza night is calling and it’s out at @fatlippizza .
You can find this location at 420 N Main St. Corona, CA 92880
Which one would you choose?
Once I discovered the Bloomin Onion, it was all over for me.
So I was so excited when Outback Steakhouse in Upland invited me back to try some of their new dishes.
Let me just say YUM!
Check out Twin Reefs Shrimp, the Beef and Reef Platter and the Great Barrier Reef Platter.
It was hard for me to choose which I would go with first. You can’t go wrong with shrimp, the lobster was delicious and don’t get me started on the filet mignon.
They were all so good!
Which one is calling your name?
This is your sign to get out to @outbacksteakhouse_upland and try them for yourself.
You can find this location at 530 N. Mountain Ave. Upland, CA 91786
Did you see the size of
this thing?
I’ve been to Paulie’s Pizza Pub for pizza before apparently I’ve been totally missing out on this ginormous sub.
I’m so glad I finally listened to you all and got back out here to try their sandwiches.
Check out the Mad Dog sub sandwich. It’s a monster!
And not only is it a massive sandwich it’s absolutely delicious!
Packed with all the meats, cheese and a dipping sauce on a full size french roll.
This is absolute heaven!
I certainly can’t take down the whole thing, but that didn’t stop me from trying.
If you haven’t been out to @pauliespizzapub out in Downtown Upland, this is your sign to head there today.
You can find Paulie’s Pizza Pub at 247 N 2nd Ave, Upland, CA 91786

Who knew that
having a salad could elicit so many strong opinions.
But, boy did it.
You weren’t having me eating a salad at one of the most iconic and popular burger places in the Inland Empire.
I heard you loud and clear. So I’m back to trying their most popular burger.
And I’m so glad I did. Trying the Iconic Double Bacon Cheeseburger at Andy’s Burger
The double bacon cheeseburger is a classic and incredibly delicious bite.
It brought a huge smile to my face.
You were right, I was sleeping on the burger. No longer!
And you shouldn’t sleep on it either.
If you haven’t been out to Andy’s Burgers, it’s time you did.
You won’t be disappointed.
You can find their new location at 4616 Riverside Drive., Chino
I recently met a
firefighter’s wife that told me I had to get out to Consuelo’s Homestyle Mexican Food in Banning and try the burrito that all the firefighters get.
And I’m so glad I did.
Consuelo’s is where it’s at. You know that immediately because the place is packed.
It feels like your walking into your grandma’s house here.
I have to admit the lady that took my order made me super nervous to try this, and rightfully so. This is super spicy!
For all you spice lovers out there, I have found your burrito.
This chile verde burrito is super tasty and oh so spicy.
It had me wishing for a glass of milk to go with it.
What a special find this place is. If you haven’t been here, it’s worth making a trip out.
And let me know if you can handle the spice of this delicous burrito.
A big shout out to the wife of the firefighter that recommended this place. And an even bigger shout out to all the amazing firefighters working so hard to keep us all safe.
We appreciate you so much!
You can find Consuelo’s Homestyle Mexican Food at 1046 E Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220
