Zagat and Welch’s Taste the Harvest Guide
If you’re a fan of farm-to-table dining, going to the farmers market, and eating local and seasonal food, then you have to check out the new Zagat Taste the Harvest Guide: Where and How to Eat Fresh, Local, and Seasonal.
You know I am a fan of anything having to do with local and seasonal food and I love to dine out, so I was really excited when I got this guide in the mail. Welch’s, well-known for their concord grape juice, teamed up with Zagat, well-known for their guides filled with user-gen… read more »
Farm to Table Dining in Newport
A couple of weekends ago my husband and I went on a little pre-baby (or shall I say babies!) trip to Newport, Rhode Island. We were excited for a weekend of relaxation and seeing the beautiful mansions that we had always heard so much about.

Seasonal Dining at Rouge Tomate
By now I’m sure you know that I am a huge fan of eating based on what’s in season. I can’t think of anything I love more about dining out than a restaurant that embraces seasonal and local ingredients. That’s why I really love Rouge Tomate, a restaurant in Brussels and New York City.
Rouge Tomate is a member of the Green Restaurant Association and adheres to a nutritional charter called SPE, Sanitas Per Escam, which means “Health Through Food.” This charter was d… read more »
