There are so many areas along the coast that are enjoyable. I've found in my travels that asking the locals where they go - or where the tourists go (normally two different places), you'll find the very best options. Hasn't failed me yet.

I love bakery fresh bread with no preservatives. It's heavenly. I should make bread, but I forget. The smell of fresh bread. I know I read in some diet book or on a health blog that French bread was one of the worst food you could eat on a diet. I disagree. It's a healthy food. I think French bread has a place in a healthy diet. I ate nearly a loaf of rye bread today and still stayed in my Spark People calorie range of 1200 to 1550 calories a day. I recall years ago someone says that bread was a good diet food since it was filling. I I love French bread. I love bakery fresh bread with no preservatives. It’s heavenly.

Its difficult to get over that mental hurdle of accepting the idea that maybe paying a little more for a little less is a good idea, but it pays big dividends in the long run I do believe. Thanks for stopping by! @Zach: I know that spot, and love Metropolitan Market. Very easy to get my wallet in trouble there if I don't think ahead... @Christine: I've been thinking a lot about this lately - somewhere in the blogosphere I read about a book that I believe is called something like Make Bread in just 5 Minutes a Day (will have to hunt that down). This summer I actually want to build a wood-fired oven in the backyard and see if I can bake a loaf of rustic bread or two. Maybe a home-made pizza or two as well... @Lisa: I'm definitely right there with ya. On the whole grain variety, yes i have, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm a big fan of 12-grain breads as well, although I've cut back significantly compared to what I used to eat. I used to fall in the trap of thinking if its whole grain, that's what's important - forgetting that 4 pieces of toast over the span of a morning (two at breakfast, and two mid morning, at times) were a heap of calories. Of course, all of that whole grain probably didn't hurt my cholesterol scores, which were fine even before I changed my habits from the moderation perspective. Thanks to everyone for your comments. I really do appreciate it. @MizFit: Yep, I agree.
