When we named our first child Cayenne; it really separated — not the men from boys, nor the whites from the eggs, but rather — the foodies from non-foodies. Those who inquired, “Like the Porsche?” revealed quite a lot. “Cayenne” refers to a hot pepper, a well known spice, used fresh in cooking and also […]

Friday, October 11, 2013

Thursday, August 9, 2012
If you’ve watched “Super Size Me” or Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution” or if you’ve walked into the lunchroom of any public school, you’ve probably seen what we’re feeding kids in this country every day. It’s just plain garbage: pink Slime, pink milk (strawberry-flavored milk), mostly heavily processed food, where french fries or ketchup count as […]

The fear of traveling with a baby can be crippling or at least very delaying. It feels like forever since we took a vacation! Luckily, our short weekends to The Culinary Institute of America and Philly gave us a little steam and we booked a last minute deal on a cruise to Bermuda, St. Maarten, […]
Our Little Pepper is One!
Monday, February 27, 2012
Cayenne (our daughter) turned one! We get a lot of questions (online and off) about how she eats and what we feed her. It’s time we did a blog post all about Caya’s food.

Best of 2011

Wow, 2011 has been a huge year for us because of one special ingredient: Cayenne. It felt like just yesterday that we were chatting on Twitter about #babymayhem the day I went into labor. Now, she’s already 10 1/2 months old! From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for so much support that […]

I Am a Nudie Foodie
Friday, June 24, 2011
What’s the last thing I thought I’d be doing a few weeks after giving birth? Posing nude. Yet, that’s what indeed happened. When Jackie of The Diva That Ate New York asked me if I’d do it to raise money for Tsunami victims in Japan, I said ok, without really thinking about it. The time […]
Happy Thanksgiving 2010
Wednesday, November 24, 2010
When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food babies, food comas, and all that relates to gluttony. The giant turkey, piles of cranberry sauce, and variations of string bean casserole pile onto our tables, not to mention the desserts. It seems like everyone brings a pie and now there’s 30 across the counters, starting […]
