It’s a food foraging day.

This pandemic is making sourcing ingredients a challenge. Stepping up to fill the void are restaurants!

Even though yesterday’s cinnamon rolls used up an entire cup of sourdough discard, they also devoured our last envelope of yeast. So I was excited to find The Filling Station was selling two pound bags of active dry yeast PLUS 25 pound bags of flour!

This should keep me baking awhile…

Even our local Norms is offering groceries.

Besides the lack of yeast, eggs, milk and toilet paper have been in short supply. I’m sure y’all have seen the crazy videos of American shoppers in a feeding frenzy over these items.

We’ve been totally craving diner food so how could I resist?

Filled our fridge! We easily got 10 quality breakfasts out of this so it was a great deal. Norms seems determined to stay in business and is also offering other take home options.

Santa Ana’s Avila’s El Ranchito is also offering takeout. Their Facebook page is on fire with tasty Mexican options, even margaritas & Taco Tuesday so definately check ’em out.

Not to be left out is OC favorite, Villa Roma.

They are even offering groceries!

Can’t wait to savor this South American comfort food and explore other to-go options. The lockdown has devastated local restaurants so I’m down to support their efforts to stay afloat as much as possible.

Give your local spots some love!
