kelly’s donuts and burgers / huntington beach – orange county, ca

Over Labor Day weekend this year, Jake, the kids and I headed up to Huntington Beach for the Civil War Reenactment that weekend.

TusCa Ristorante at the Hyatt Regency / Garden Grove, CA – Orange County

I was unable to go to any media dinners that they were holding and I was invited by a PR firm to come up on a night of my choosing for dinner and an overnight stay in the hotel.

about this site

My name is Mary. I love: peanut butter, cookies, warm cupcakes, puppy noses, star gazing, new bags of sugar, sprinkles, cupcake wrappers, egg rolls, eating french fries with ice cream, driving with the windows down, snuggling, wes anderson movies, staying up too late reading a good book and Jake. These are my adventures in all things food. Hope you enjoy the ride.
