Although Tax Day is rarely a cause for celebration, we at California Chef were just informed that we were once again named as an American Express Card Member Favorite! We work hard every day to prepare the absolute finest meals so that all of our clients can enjoy wonderful dishes specifically tailored to meet their […]
Four weeks ago, today, my mom had a heart attack. I never ever thought it would happen to her. There is no heart disease in our family; she doesn’t have high blood pressure; she has healthy cholesterol levels; and she is fun-loving and easygoing. Yet, she was rushed to the hospital with one of her […]
Last year at about this time we heard that Freshology had gone out of business. Now, we get news that Fresh Diet has closed its doors too. Since almost no one goes into the food business without having a real passion for it, we genuinely empathize with the pain and disappointment that those who worked […]
OK, so this is a day late. Maybe it’s because I only lost 1 pound last week and just couldn’t get myself to admit I didn’t meet my 2 lb/wk goal. I am rationalizing that my weekly average is still 2 pounds, but I am not really happy w/ Week 4’s results. I have been […]

I kept to my goal of losing 2 pounds for the week, for a total weight loss of 5 lb! Again, Friday night was my biggest challenge. Yes, you guessed it—we hit the brewery and the Old Place. I kept to the food portion of my diet, but because of drinks, I did wind up […]

With such a busy schedule, my husband & I have made Wednesday nights our “date night.” Traditionally this means we spend the night at a local restaurant enjoying each other’s company with dinner & drinks. We live in an area w/ a micro-brewery at our freeway off ramp and a winery 3 doors down from […]
With my last weekend of decadence behind me, I am excited to start Day 1 of my resolution to lose it! Since Mondays are such a long day, I’ve decided to try to eat 6 times today. I have planned out my meals so I know exactly what I need to eat and when to […]
