Yesterday I was treated to a surprise birthday brunch by my amazing friends, Bonnie, Kelley, Audrey, Carrie, Bri, and Jen at Lazy Ox Canteen in downtown LA. The tapas-style brunch included a tasty mix of Meyer Lemon Pancakes, Ricotta Fritters, super chunky Fries, and a birthday Caramel & Hazelnut Rice Pudding…yum! There's nothing better than good food with good friends… — Joy

Holy cow, this looks amazing! Even more so since I started the clean program today. I apologize if I don’t read for the next 20 days as I know it will be quite a temptation 😉
That all looks so delicious! Your photos really are great! -nome

Had not been able to comment on it but, CONGRATS on the lil’ creature on the way! You look amazing and glowy in those new shots with the bump! He/She’ll be one crafty kid!

Wow, that has probably got to be the most perfect pile of perfectly created fries I have seen….ever.
I am sure your baby enjoyed the fine meal as well:)

mmm, this looks so tasty. I love reading about your fav food spots, it gives me such great ideas of places to try when I don’t know where to go
Super love the fries. With a touch of dill? Perfection!
Looks delicious.
Breakfast tapas is the best idea ever! Every time I’m out for breakfast I always want a little bit of everything home fries, eggs, waffles, french toast etc but need to pick just one 🙁
What a wonderful birthday brunch! I can sense the love all the way over here 🙂
happy birthday!
and i’m so going there next time i’m in LA – yummy!
a) happy birthday!
b) congratulations!
c) you look so darn cute with your baby bump!
going out on a limb and taking a guess that this will be your best year ever. babies just have a way of bringing it.
I have never seen more perfect looking fries!
mm, I’m such a sucker for fries–these ones look particularly delightful!
good food + good friend = the best! happy belated bday, joy!
