It was only a matter of time before we ventured into the vegan territory. This recipe had me at "alfredo" and for all you vegan naysayers....until you've had a creamy, buttery, cashew-based sauce I don't want to hear it.
Read MoreIt's like a scene out of The Godfather except....different. OK, really different. We were in Connecticut visiting our friends who recently made the move out of Manhattan to the...(gasp) suburbs.
Read MoreWhat a difference a year makes. One year ago on Thanksgiving Day Jenson was sucking down breastmilk and I was giving thanks I hadn't had another bout of mastitis in about four weeks. Oh, and my family house also caught fire a week before Thanksgiving so it was indeed a year to be thankful for.
Read MoreOh, why hello again. It's been a while. Too long. And I can explain. Jenson is most likely holding some sort of Guinness Book of World Record title for living the longest before sprouting a tooth.
Read MoreIf there was ever a restaurant that was seemingly acting like it did not give a rat's ass about whether people walked in to dine there...
Read MoreThis sounds fancy but it wasn't supposed to be that way.
Read MoreIt was one of those nights. Olly was working really late which meant I did the mad scramble after work to pick Jenson up from daycare, feed him, bathe him, read to him and then (God willing) put him to bed. It sounds so simple when I write it...
Read MoreToday was a huge day for a number of reasons. Jenson decided to take his first steps and it was the third day of a three-day juice cleanse his parents attempted (somewhat pathetically) to complete.
Read MoreUnfortunately for Jenson the Bayou just hasn't made the travel short-list.
Read MoreSometimes it takes a child to reconnect you with that joyous sensation of discovering something new for the first time. After my son was born, determined not to give up my love of trying new restaurants and food, I decided to just bring him along for the ride. Here are my family's delicious adventures in Brooklyn and beyond, seen through the eyes of Jenson.
Welcome to First Bites where we attempt to answer all of your questions about a particular restaurant before deciding to hit the scene with your offspring. Eating out with kids can be fun (I hear you snickering) but it does take a little planning. Now that I have a child, I look for a different type of restaurant when I eat out and it pretty much boils down to how many laser-beam stares of death my family will receive when we open the door. If it is high, we usually steer clear. Let us help you avoid those stares of death. Thanks for stopping by!
