Everything you need to know for visiting North Lake Tahoe – things to do, where to stay, where to eat, best hikes, scenic views and so much more!
North Lake Tahoe is a nature lover’s paradise year-round, with a wealth of outdoor activities and opportunities to connect with nature. It’s also the place to catch fall colors in Northern California. We visited the first week of November and still managed to catch the tail end of the season.
Fall just might be the best season to visit Lake Tahoe. It’s between the busy summer and winter seasons, meaning traffic from San Francisco is almost nonexistent! It took about three hours to get there from the city. Off season also means it’s easy to get a table at some of the most popular restaurants and hotel prices take a dip. There was hardly anyone on the hikes we did and the beaches were nearly empty at sunset. If you’re lucky, you may even catch mild weather – it was in the high 60’s while we were there.

Stay warm with this stovetop Vegetarian Taco Soup Recipe that is an easy one pot recipe. It’s also healthy, gluten-free and has a vegan option.
We’re only a week into November and I’ve already started to feel the holiday rush.
You know that feeling that your ‘To Do’ list is growing at an alarming rate and then you realize you haven’t booked flights for your trip home yet? And you still need to get a flu shot? And now thanks to daylight savings it’s suddenly dark at 5pm?
These (literally) dark times call for easy comfort food, like this vegetarian taco soup. This soup is also as easy as can be, with only one pot needed. That means easy clean up and less hassle.

When you’re visiting California wine country, skip Napa and go wine tasting in Livermore Valley. First on your list should be Wente Vineyards. Here’s why…
Last weekend I finally had a few days off from the hospital, so Pat and I did the short drive from San Francisco to the Livermore Valley wine region. Our only agenda was a relaxing day at Wente Vineyards. Wente is honestly one of the prettiest wineries we’ve ever visited. The white buildings remind me of our trip to South Africa. The temperate fall weather and palm trees really made it feel like we were on vacation…. Read More »
A Greek Salad Flatbread Pizza recipe? Just trust me! It’s the healthiest pizza ever, but still DELICIOUS. You’ll love the lavash crust and fresh toppings.
I love having recipes on hand that work just as well for a quick snack as they do for an appetizer, or even a meal. These flatbread pizzas are truly so versatile. As if being able to eat them for any occasion isn’t enough, they also take just minutes to put together.
Still not convinced? They are also totally guilt free and made with whole ingredients. No greasy crust or mountains of cheese to be found.
