Quest for the Best Breakfast: Saddle Peak Lodge

In last week’s “Quest for the Best Breakfast” post, I mentioned that I had heard of a place that serves their Eggs Benedict dish on a croissant! It all sounded like a dream. So, of course, Allie and I had to make that dream come true!

Yesterday, we headed over to that place tucked away in Malibu Canyon called Saddle Peak Lodge.

And it is true. They serve their Eggs Benedict dish on a croissant. With bacon. Not just Canadian bacon…real bacon. I could not wait to try it out, and it definitely did not disappoint me! I mean, how could it have?

And Allie ordered the Banana French Toast (are we seeing a pattern??)!

I liked the Polo Lounge’s Banana French Toast better.

But, both dishes were delicious! Especially the Eggs Benedict. I have a good feeling about this one! But, I still have a couple more weeks until I decide who the Eggs Benedict winner is. Each week seems to get better and better…let’s see if Saddle Peak Lodge’s dish will make it until the end!

Stay tuned!

I hope each and every one of you have a very happy weekend!

A Pizza Date

I have come to realize that I don’t give pizza as much credit as it deserves. I have always been a pasta girl…and most likely always will be. But, within the last few months, I have discovered just how much I love pizza. (Want to guess how much? I’ll tell you…A lot.) And that it is becoming a very close second to pasta.

Also, cold pizza is probably my favorite. But, a pizza like this one that I had on a dinner date with my sister at 800 degrees also serves my craving just perfectly too!
