This morning I woke up to my traditional Sunday breakfast, pancakes
This batch came out perfect too! They were thick and fluffy – just like I like it
I offered some to Vegas, but he wasn’t interested. Fine. More for me.
I had to work this morning and decided to stay for Zumba. Post-class snack was a plum.
Then, Ben and I headed to my family’s house. My mom, dad and little brother are going to Hawaii today and we were driving them to the airport. Lucky!
Since we were going to be in Pico during lunch time Ben made sure we stopped at the world’s best burrito place for a California burrito.
For those who aren’t down with the lingo…
French Fries in a burrito = happiness in a tortilla. I stole numerous bites. (This is always a given and I don’t mention it.)
I packed a lunch because I was hungry before we even left! When we got to my mom’s I added a bunch of stuff from her fridge.
I’m sure my mom also thought this salad was for everyone. Wrong again mom.
Then we headed to the airport for the drop off. Have fun fam!
I’m totally a jelly belly over their trip! But, I actually love the airport and dropping people off/picking up. The excited buzz of airports makes me happy Is that weird?
Post-drop off we went back to my mom’s to walk the perros. I think Roxy is dead tired now.
Added bonus of the day: My mom said we can take any food that will go back over the next week! Given the size of my mom’s fridge, we’re going to be stocking up big time!
Oh, and I’m totally going by the “ice cream goes bad if not eaten in 1 week” rule… Okay, I’ve got to get to “shopping”! See ya in a bit…
Ever had a California Burrito?
B (i run like a girl) says
This post made me sick!
(HOMESICK!) 😉
I miss California burritos!!! I wonder if they can be shipped overnight? Maybe I should look into that… The Florida panhandle has NO good burritos AT ALL. Total Florida fail.
So, basically, I have burrito envy. 🙂
RunEatRepeat says
Boo. I don’t think they’d ship well 🙁
Kerry @ Half Healthy, Half Nuts says
I too LOVE airports. I could just go and hang out at the airport. It’s such a happy place. (I have not done this before, I swear)
Amanda says
Andy has an intense love for California Burritos. So so much love. And carne asada fries. Oh man, no where near us has them but whenever we go to SD we get them.
Aw your family is lucky. Love Hawaii!
I want your mom’s fridge. It’s so beautiful.
Amy @ A Little Nosh says
Holy crap, that’s an enormous fridge! Is it a commercial fridge? Wow.
erin says
that is quite a fridge:)
Lorin says
Before I became vegetarian I loved California Burritos. I used to get them after basketball practices at this mexican food “train” like thing across from my school. I live in SD so it’s the perfect place to get one. Since I don’t eat meat now I never get it, but that’s one of the things I miss. I think I wouldn’t be able to eat the whole thing though just because I think about more like oh this has way more calories than I should be consuming in one sitting :p. Not that I count, but I have a general idea and I love desserts and eat one every night pretty much, but sometimes you just don’t want to take in 1000 calories in one meal. Love little bites though if I could 🙂

I have serious fridge envy right now! I’m thinking about all the stuff I could pack into that thing.
Sara says
I can’t believe I’ve never had a California burrito – and I lived there for ten years. Though, I’d probably have gone with the Cyrus. I love guacamole way more than sour cream.
Laura @ Cookies vs. Carrots says
OMG, that burrito looks insane.
And by insane, I obviously mean insanely delicious!
Jenn says
OMG! they actually make a fridge that big…for your house…omg!!!!!!
Ree says
I thought for anything to be “California” it had to have guac or avocado. Btw, there is a place in Philly where the “salad” has French fries on it.
RunEatRepeat says
You’re supposed to order a side of guac for dipping. It’s the only way to go 🙂
Ree says
Anything with avocado is good in my book. Be it an ingredient or its own side dish 🙂
cathy@1970kikiproject says
never even HEARD of that burrito! i really need to visit california!
i love the buzz at airports, too. great place to people watch!
that’s one awesome fridge!
Amanda @ Cucina Amanda says
Seriously….biggest refrigerator EVER!!!!
Cara says
I blame at least a 5 lb gain from those burritos when I lived in San Diego. Absolute heaven.
Kelsey says
I really want to go to Hawaii but flights are so expensive! (Maybe not from cali though)
RunEatRepeat says
Hawaii is the one place we can get cheaper flights to compared to other states. Everywhere else is ridic $$$ (like our Florida flight)!
rumfunandsun says
So I feel like you have discussed this but why on earth is there a need for a fridge that big? I mean are they holding entire animals in there? Not judging…jealous! 🙂
RunEatRepeat says
We need a fridge that big because we like to eat. A lot.
Emily @ Sweating Sugar says
I totally know what you mean about the excited buzz at airports! I love it too!
Lauren says
Haha, score!!! You could do some serious stocking up with the size of that fridge.
Angie says
That is the biggest fridge! I thunk that would take up our whole kitchenn
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
OMG… Your mom’s fridge is glorious!!! I just called my husband over to show him what just moved to number one on my want list, lol!
Tyly @ One Mile at a Time says
That burrito sounds AMAZING!!!!
I love the Vegas pancake picture! Too funny. 🙂
Your mom’s fridge is HUGE, and your arms looks super muscular as you’re reaching across it. That was actually the first thing I noticed – how great your arm looks! Is that weird? Lol.
Does ice cream not go bad in a week? Mine never lasts that long, so I wouldn’t know…
RunEatRepeat says
Thanks 🙂
Sarah @ Food and Love Diaries says
How could I have lived in that great state and never known about the Cali Burrito?!? How sad. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to hit that ish up when I’m out there in September 🙂
Amy says
that burrito looks amazing! that fridge is awesome..someday i will own one that big!! thats my dream hah
Natale @FactualFoodie says
I am pretty sure you could take a nap in that fridge! It is HUGE!! Wow!
RunEatRepeat says
Now I want to take a nap in there. Easy access to post nap snacks!
jen @ jen is green says
that is a HUGE refrigerator!!! and that burrito reminds me of primanti’s sandwiches in pittsburgh–a sandwich with fries and coleslaw in it!!
Karen @ Goofy Can Cook says
Man oh man I miss California burritos. And I miss California. Tex Mex just doesn’t cut it!
Tiffany (Stuffed with Fluff) says
I grew up in Azusa and never noticed California Burritos (or carne asada fries for that matter) until I moved to San Diego 10 years ago. Now, I LOVE them and eat them more than I should. (I actually ate one for dinner last night). It’s weird though, because I only eat them in SD. For some reason, it just tastes better here and I have no idea why or how I’ve built that idea up in my head.
RunEatRepeat says
Love that you had one last night!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
No i haven’t 🙁 Which is why you should share!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
that is the biggest refrigerator I’ve ever seen in someone’s house!
runeatrepeat says
I’m not fat by accident 😉
Michelle (Chasing Chelles) says
You know, I grew up in southern California and have never really had a California burrito. I’ll have to find one next time I visit!
