Farm Stand Dinner

[May 17]

Maybe my favorite thing to do is wonder around a farmer’s market on a sunny afternoon (or a gloomy one if that’s my only option) and figure out what delicious things I can concoct for dinner at home. Buying from the farmer’s market is an amazing way to not only ensure that your food is [...]

Brooklyn California Baby

[May 14]

Bath time is possibly Avital’s favorite time of day.  She loves to suds up, splash around, sit, stand, you name it as long as it’s in the tub. We use (and LOVE) California Baby Bubble Bath.  It is entirely SLS and DEA free.  It is paraben and pesticide free and made from essential oils for [...]

Feeding Baby Jacob

[May 13]

My good friend from college, Lauren, is one of the cutest moms I know and her baby Jacob blows her out of the water in the cuteness department. Here he is:  (I mean how cute?!?) Though we lost touch for some time (as it happens all too often in life) we reconnected recently and are [...]

Seis de Mayo Sangria

[May 12]

Last week my friend Michelle invited us over for dinner at her place.  She cooked us tamales that were amazing along with homemade sauces, salsas, guacamole, and bean salad in honor of Cinco de Mayo.  Unfortunately we couldn’t make it on Wednesday, so we had a little Seis de Mayo celebration. I offered to bring [...]

[May 11]

Growing up in a house full of foodies, I always had a great home cooked meal courtesy of the rents. As Eve has explained, our parents travel the world to learn new cooking techniques and styles. One area of cooking that wasn’t touched in my family was baking, so I decided to take on the [...]

Mother’s Day Weekend

[May 10]

When I woke up this past Friday morning, Richie asked me if I wanted to go out to the beach.  My answer was immediately yes!  Richie’s family has a house out on long island and my favorite times to go are before and after the height of the season.  It is so peaceful to be [...]

Summer Lovin’

[May 7]

It’s finally Spring here in New York, but it already feels like Summer.  Much of this week was actually hot! We decided to rock some dresses for the first time this season and it felt really good. Avi’s wearing an organic cotton dress from H&M (they have the cutest baby duds and a ton of [...]

Cinco de Mayo

[May 6]

Cinco de Mayo was calling my name on Tuesday and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to celebrate on Wednesday, so I decided to do a little Mexican Vegan for dinner. The thing is, my good friend, Elle Weston (my L.A. cohort who’s family is from Mexico City), tells me burritos aren’t real Mexican [...]

A Taste of Summer

[May 5]

This past weekend we woke up Saturday morning to an amazingly bright and warm day.  It was 80 degrees outside and everything smelled green if you know what I mean;) We packed up the car and headed out to my parents’ house in Connecticut.  We had a fabulously relaxing weekend filled with food, sleep, and [...]
