Greer's OC readers are coming up with great suggestions in recent days. Patricia from the Newport Coast tells us, "I recently went to a place in Tustin called Dream Dinners. It was incredible. I put together 12 dinners for my family in about 2 hours, then I came home and put them in my freezer and I have meals for the month." Sounds great. And Beckie in San Clemente says her hometown "has come into its own! Downtown on Avenida Del Mar, boutiques featuring fashion, home accessories, spas, antiques, and a cooking store and school line both sides of street." You can read all the readers' picks plus today's "Pick of the Day" and "Good Spirits" on the Greer's OC website.
