Last year around this time, I shared a post full of ranting about the craziness regarding traveling with an 18-month old, along with some suggestions for survival. Click here to read that original post. I’m a list maker. I have tons of legal pads filled with all sorts of lists. Lists of recipes in progress, lists of things to remember or do and most of all I have packing lists. My packing list is totally crazy and OCD filled and contains things like “this notepad” because I might implode if I didn’t bring the current legal pad onto which I’m

Eliana is a blueberry fiend. Since blueberries are in season right now, we have had massive amounts of blueberries in the teeny tiny foodie kitchen over the last several weeks. When I get home from the market with a few pints of blueberries, I immediately wash and freeze around 3-4 cups so they are ready to go for smoothies or oatmeal and then I store the rest in a paper-towel-lined container to keep them as fresh as possible for snacking on or adding to things like cereal, “homemade” yogurt or french toast. If you’ve been reading teeny tiny foodie for a while

A couple weeks ago, I went away with my family to a rental beach house on the North Fork of Long Island. Even though the house was advertised as having a fully stocked kitchen, I just couldn’t be without certain of my tools for a whole week. What if the tools at the house weren’t up to par? I think of this collection of tools as my “Desert Island Kitchen Tools”. See the list below for what I brought to the beach aka desert island for a week. I brought my: –Wusthof Santoku Knife –Wusthof Tomato Knife –Tovolo Spoonula

At the end of July, my little family took our first official vacation together. For a week, we rented a house on Long Island’s North Fork and lived like suburbanites. It was glorious and beautiful and amazing and everything we wanted from our family vacation. We walked to the neighborhood beach, enjoyed the use of full-sized appliances, and made many visits per day to our neighbors the horses (yes, literally, our neighbors were horses) to feed them apples. The afternoon before we left for our getaway, I was running around packing everything, including my “Desert Island Kitchen Tools&#

When I had been planning for our pre-Halloween parade party, I thought about playing around with a recipe I had made previously using butternut squash, but I decided to make this dish muffin-sized for a few reasons. First, a handheld snack would be easier for people to eat. Second, all foods are more appealing when they are small and cute. And, third, I figured muffin-sized was a good size for the toddlers. I would call them Mini Baked Pastas with Butternut Squash or “Minis” for short. Well, as you know, our pre-parade party became a Halloween Play Date so the menu

Disclaimer: This post is filled with random ranting about airline travel as well as some of my current “survival tactics” when flying with Eliana. WARNING! This post contains overly processed food, BPA and PVC-filled plastics and a shudder-worthy amount of germs. Consider yourself warned. Before I travel I have to write down my “packing list.” I’m famous for making packing lists that include silly things like “this note pad” and presumably obvious things like “shoes.” (Really? Would I actually forget to pack shoes??) My list hasn’t changed so much over the years so you’d think I’d be logical about it

On Tuesday afternoons, Eliana and I have a standing play date with our friends Meghan and Miles. This Tuesday, Meghan and I were swapping food stories and she told me that Miles currently loves mashed potatoes. That night I was thinking about new recipes and foods for Eliana. I got to thinking: Has Eliana eaten mashed potatoes? She has certainly had potatoes over the last 16 months. I made her a kale and potato puree when she was newly eating solids and she’s had my potato leek soup, too. At restaurants she’s had roasted potatoes and tried french fries, but she hasn’t necessarily

Well, I’ve done it! I’ve literally eaten my words. I figured out how to make yellow squash taste good! Yes, I know, you’re shocked, right? Especially since I spent the better part of a post a few weeks ago complaining about how gross squash is and how it is everywhere blah, blah, blah. So, here is how it all happened… At the farmer’s market a few Sundays ago I was scouting out the vegetables when a gorgeous yellow caught my eye. I looked at it for a moment, dumbstruck. Nooo! Waaaay! It was freakin’ yellow squash! And it looked beautiful

This post is a bit of a departure from the norm since it isn’t really about what Eliana eats. But, last week she turned 1-year-old. (1! Holy crap!!) So, I think this event is worthy of a departure…Her “Baby Pool Party” was all set to happen out on our deck. A rain date would be announced if needed since there is no way we were going to be able to fit 50 people in our apartment! Now, I know that this was Eliana’s first birthday party and she wouldn’t remember it and this party is really for the adults yeah,
