It is a beautiful day in Santa Barbara, so we wanted to go somewhere for lunch that we could eat outside. We ended up going to Paradise Cafe. I had the special fish tacos which had grilled swordfish, fresh cilantro and corn tortillas. On the side were some beans, pico de gallo and a pesto aioli along with rice and cabbage. These were SO good. To top it off, our waitress was great, letting me know that I could not eat any of my husband’s fries since they were fried in the same oil as the calamari.

On those days that I can’t decide what to eat, tacos are usually the answer. Lilly’s only offers tacos and they are all on corn tortillas so there is no need to worry about cross-contamination with burritos or flour tortillas. I get mine with onions, cilantro and their flavorful, spicy salsa.
I was in the mood for chicken parm last night so I called @oliosantabarbara (the pizzeria) to ask if they would be able to make it gluten-free. They used their grilled chicken instead of the breaded chicken and made sure to cook everything on a clean surface. It came with potatoes and veggies, both of which were GF as is.
Does anyone else feel like Cacio e Pepe is a grown-up’s version of mac n’ cheese? I ordered this cheesy dish from @trelunemontecito last night and it did not disappoint. I paired my dish with an Aperol Spritz. Big Saturday night over here!
@bossieskitchen.sb is back open, and I am so happy they are. Last night, I had their Thursday special - local wild halibut, mushrooms, spring vegetable risotto and gremolata butter. It was GF as is, but they made sure to make the halibut on a clean surface for me.
The tomato feta salad from @blueowlsb may be one of my new favorites. I loved the crunch of the snap peas and sunflower seeds. I added thyme roasted turkey breast which made it super hearty. The ingredients are GF as is, but be sure to ask for it to be made with clean gloves and tools to ensure it stays gluten-free.
Happy National Coffee Cake Day! Do we even need a reason to have @lilacpatisserie coffee cake? I warmed it up when I got home which not only made it taste even better but it made my house smell fantastic!
