Made in Temecula – Dueling Roasted Chickens
Springtime weather in the middle of January makes us thankful to be alive and living in the Temecula Valley. We are even further blessed to have ready access to the amazing Old Town Temecula Farmer’s Market and the Sage Mountain Farm booth where we collect the Inland Empire CSA box each week. We had the

Tesoro Winery – Tuscan Treasure in Temecula
Someone once said that God draws straight with crooked lines. You could say this is something of a theme in Tesoro Winery’s history.

One of my favorite things about hanging out with Slow Food Temecula Valley folks like chapter president, Leah Di Bernardo, and Leonesse Cellars owner, Mike Rennie, is that they talk about farmers, chefs, winemakers, brewmasters and other local artisans like they are rock stars. They name drop like groupies because they know that the people

Rancho Damacitas Puts Kids First
The numbers are tough to hear and even more difficult to fathom: each year in Riverside County, hundreds of cases of child abuse are reported, a number which escalates in difficult economic times and around the holidays. The children that are removed from these unsafe and unbearable conditions are in need of significant emotional healing
