Teresa Strasser in OC!
01.11.11
Join Laguna Beach Books on Thursday at 6 p.m. for a red carpet affair with Teresa Strasser, author of “Exploiting My Baby.” TV and radio personality Teresa Strasser will be signing copies of her frank and hilarious memoir about her pregnancy, childbirth and difficult relationship with her mother. It’s a must read for moms-to-be, anyone who is baby crazy, or those who can appreciate a blunt and plain-spoken approach to real-life motherhood. Even Vanity Fair just named it one of their hot picks for 2011.
Strasser is an Emmy Award-winning writer (Comedy Central’s “Win Ben Stein’s Money”), and radio audiences know her as the co-host of “The Adam Carolla Show.” As a journalist, Strasser is a contributor to the Los Angeles Times and a columnist for the Los Angeles Jewish Journal.
Laguna Beach Books is open daily 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. At The Old Pottery Place. 1200 South Coast Highway, Suite 105 in Laguna Beach. 949.494.4779.

100 Under 600 At Corner Bakery
01.10.11
After the holidays, It’s no surprise that dieting is tops on many New Year’s resolution lists—and with that in mind here’s an easy way to eat healthy or at least give it a try.
Corner Bakery Cafe just added an extended “100 Under 600” program featuring more than 100 different combinations of sandwiches, toasty panini, hand-tossed salads or homemade soups, all under 600 calories. They’re not diet meals per se—just a way to keep calories in check.
Corner Bakery Cafe’s “100 Under 600” menu includes chicken pomodori panini and roasted tomato basil soup, D.C. chicken salad sandwich and mixed greens, chopped salad and three lentil vegetable soup. For a full list of the combos, go online here.
The cozy bakery chain is known for its wide variety of egg scramblers and oatmeals for breakfast, flavorful sandwiches and signature panini, hot soups, signature salads, fresh baked goods and an extensive catering menu. We appreciate its free Wi-Fi and bottomless cups of hand-roasted coffee.
There are multiple locations throughout Orange County. To find a one near you, check here.
