10 Things to Do Around Mendocino, California

Mendocino, California and the surrounding area makes a great weekend getaway from San Francisco. It has an amazing food scene, the Anderson Valley wine region and many charming places to stay. It’s also incredibly dog friendly!

10 Things to Do on the Mendocino Coast, Northern California Guide

I just can’t say enough about what a hidden gem the Mendocino coast is. Its access to nature is incredible with the towering cliffs like Big Sur, and the redwood forests of far northern California, all with less traffic and better prices. There’s an up and coming wine country in the Anderson Valley and the food scene is booming.

It won’t be off the beaten path for too much longer though! We actually ran into a photographer from Travel & Leisure while we were there as he was getting content for an upcoming article. You need to move it to the top of your list for your next weekend getaway from San Francisco…. Read More »

Healthy Greek Layer Dip with Hummus

An easy healthy Greek layer dip recipe that is a great appetizer or healthy snack. Made with hummus, pesto,  feta, olives and sun-dried tomatoes.

Easy & Healthy Greek Layer Dip Recipe with Hummus
