Lake Eats 2025
Our annual family lake trip is always about slow mornings, sun-soaked afternoons, and—most importantly—really good food. From barbecued “Cardiff Crack” (tri tip steak native to Cardiff area in Northern San Diego) and smoky grilled corn to summer salads and triple berry jam, every meal felt like a little celebration. Here’s a look at what we cooked, shared, and devoured together by the water.
