Bailey's Kitchen: Back to the Blogging... and Healthy Eating

Welcome to Bailey's Kitchen

Bailey's Kitchen follows the experiences of one adventurous eater and her dog... and occasionally the adventures of her friends.

Bailey is my adorable, bratty, best friend of a Yorkie. She loves my kitchen and spends much of her time with me there attempting to convince me to feed her. As with the rest of our home the kitchen is hers, so this is Bailey's Kitchen. Here we will explore my endeavors into food (both cooking and eating it) focusing mainly on people food, but it wouldn't be Bailey's kitchen without the occasional dog recipe as well. Here is to learning to have champagne on a beer budget! I hope you enjoy!

Back to the Blogging... and Healthy Eating

Hi all,

I realize I have been seriously MIA. Between starting a new job and commuting an hour and fifteen minutes each way to get there… Well let’s just say I haven’t had a life for the past 9 months.

I am back on the wagon with a new drive to eat health and fast. My good friend Tori introduced me to a great new place to get a quick healthy meal in Huntington Beach this past weekend. The Bear Flag Fish Co.

In downtown Newport Beach, Bear Flag Fish Co. is a modern fish market. They not only offer fish and other seafood by the pound but also make tasty food to eat in house. According to Tori their clam chowder is legendary.

This hot spring day I passed on the clam chowder and opted for the salmon patty sandwich. The patty was made of ground fresh salmon, diced bell peppers, onions and seasoning. The salmon was cooked perfectly (very juicy and tender) and was finished with lettuce, tomato and fresh French bread. This thing was huge! And I still finished almost the whole thing.

They are probably most well known for their marinated poke tuna which is served multiple ways. Just a few of the options are: a burrito, with chips as a "dip" and poke tacos (which Tori had for lunch).
