My ongoing goal is to cook something different that is delicious and healthy. After I went through most of Maria Menounos' "The EveryGirl's Guide to Cooking" book, I went to my local bookstore and searched online for even more healthy recipes, but I couldn't find any that I was really interested in.

When my parents were in town a couple weeks ago, I wanted (ok, needed) to take them to Lure Fish House in Ventura for dinner. I absolutely adore coming here for their drinks and fresh seafood. The place is always packed, no matter what hour it is. It's that popular and the staff is always [...]
