Flora Farm


After a week in Cabo San Lucas, the highlight of our eating experience would have to be our little adventure to Flora Organic Farm.



What a beautiful oasis.

It is more than just a restaurant. It is also a housing development- a small one of only ten homes or what they call Culinary Cottages which you can also rent for your vacation.



This is a community that lives off the land by cultivating their own organic foods in gorgeous fashion.

The restaurant serves all homemade food with farm fresh ingredients grown at Flora Farm and the meats are bought from a nearby ranch where the animals are raised humanely without hormones or antibiotics.

You get a sense of their wholesomeness by just wandering around their grounds 


that just scream at you "come on in and settle down".


You can't possibly feel more at home here.


Like I said, it is more than just a restaurant - it is an experience.


Their menu changes depending what is in season

 but they always have delicious homemade bread


and pizza made in their brick oven at their bakery area.


My salad came with edible flowers, of course,


straight from their gardens

along with beautiful baby carrots 
and colorful radishes.
Bruce got a cobb salad


which hit the spot for him after a full day of golf on this day at Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club which was just within miles of Flora Farm.


I rode in the cart because I like the scenery and looking for native wildlife 

like the roadrunners we saw on this course
and all the gorgeous landscaping


that is truly native to Mexico.



Flora Farm was the perfect spot after 18 holes on the golf course because of the farm's serenity


and sense of calm that comes over you.


My main entree was fettucini with homemade sausage that I ordered because I love super sweet tomatoes from the garden and these were super sweet!


Before we ordered, our hostess provided us with a review of all the specials for dinner.

Flora's is a very friendly place and we felt right at home.
When you walk in you see tables set up very simply yet inviting
with table decorations also from the gardens.
They don't waste anytime bringing you ice cold water…in jars.


If you come with children, they can run around in a beautiful kid-friendly yard.

There are future plans for a cooking school 


You could make some awesome Mexican food!




They also have plans for a beer garden in this lovely spot


which I can visualize perfectly.


I wonder what flavors they would infuse into their beers with all the array of ingredients they grow at their fingertips.


They also have facilities available for special events on their grounds.


Looks like a good time to be had




and no skimping on decor anywhere you might look.



Do not forget dessert!  Tonight we had the dessert special which was Pineapple Buttermilk Sorbet.  We loved the fresh mint shredded on top.  A perfect ending to the best meal of our trip.




Do not miss Flora Farm next time you vacation in Cabo. 



We will definitely return.

Meatloaf by Mark Bittman

Once again, I turned on the television yesterday and saw that Mark Bittman was on the Today show and was making his version of  meatloaf .  This must be meatloaf season.  It was surprisingly similar to the  Pioneer Woman's version  who was also recently on.   I was a little surprised of his version because Mark Bittman is into healthy eating and has lost a lot of weight and improved his health by changing his diet which he writes about in his book,  Food Matters .  His meatloaf recipe also included bacon and cheese!  I must be doing something wrong.  The thing to remember, which he writes about in his book, is that you can eat healthy without going extreme or changing your whole life.    If you don't know who Mark Bittman is, he is a food writer and a four star chef with multiple cookbooks who loves to eat but changed his food philosophy to improve his health.  He tells his story in Food Matters and provides a plan for responsible eating that covers a no-nonsense rundown on

Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don't have very many gluten-free cookies on my blog because quite frankly, I usually don't like gluten-free.  But occasionally, I do find a good recipe and this is one that is from the back of the Trader Joe's oatmeal and it's a good one.  My friend brought some over to our house last weekend when Nick and family were here for our birthday celebrations  and we all loved them. My friends lives a few blocks away and we walk the neighborhood together on weekends.  We can easily go 5 miles in no time, talking non-stop.  She loves exploring our neighborhood as much as I do and we discover so many favorite little spots.  We even found a property with a horse (or more like a pony, I should say.)   The views are always quite lovely, too.  Bruce and I had our thirty-ninth wedding anniversary on July 18th and I made a point of walking past the house where we had our wedding reception.  I told my friend, "Thirty-nine years ago today, there was a big party g

Spinach Stuffed Cod

Last night, I was in the mood for a healthy dinner so decided to experiment with a recipe I found from a blog called Creative in My Kitchen . Lauren and Ari brought us French cookies back from their trip to Paris and I basically inhaled them. They were so good! We were cat-sitting their two cats while they were gone. They liked lounging in the strangest places...  I found one of their toys while I was cleaning so Lauren stopped by last night to pick it up on her way home from work. I was experimenting with this recipe which originally called for chicken breast but I thought it sounded good to substitute fish instead since I'm always looking for good fish recipes. We all thought it was totally delicious. When I went to the grocery store, they had Icelandic cod on sale so I bought about 2 pounds of that. You could use any white fish for this recipe such as:                                                                   true cod or other cod rockfish halibut had
