Every new mom imagines getting her young child off to a healthy start by providing the best possible diet and encouraging a life-long love of vegetables. Many of us begin with the ambition of eating better ourselves and even making our own baby food so we know exactly what he or she is eating (until we get behind schedule and decide […]
During August, Freshfully Market has a fun promotion that gets to the heart of what we don’t know about our food anymore: Who’s Your Farmer? Ask that question in the store this month (or wear a Freshfully T-shirt) and you’ll receive a 10% discount on your food purchase. Freshfully is a market in Avondale that […]
No doubt you’ve noticed those tubs labeled “Two Bite Brownies” that menace you near the grocery check out line. One of the appealing things about anything labeled “two bite” is the implication that you would be satisfied with only two bites, which of course is not true. You will simply eat more of them, effectively […]
Easy breakfast for a crowd Flip-style waffle makers used to be reason enought to stay at a Hampton Inn and enjoy the breakfast. They’ve solved the problem of getting the top of the waffle equally browned and are amazingly easy to use. Now these waffle makers are everywhere, and you can have one at home for less than 30 […]
Fish Lips Seafood Restaurant You foodie-moms will remember the beloved white chocolate bread pudding that Chef Arman Delorenz made a local sensation. After a few restaurant closings and consolidations, Arman is back, this time in Hoover with Fish Lips Seafood Restaurant.

Chili's actually has a Travel Planner that allows you to map all the Chili's on your route. See how many times you can eat at the SAME PLACE on your way to somewhere else. Sheesh. It’s a curse to be a foodie in a family of chicken nugget fans, especially on vacation. How can you […]
While McDonald’s claims “Billions Served” beneath its golden arches, most BirminghamMoms don’t feel too far behind, serving dozens of meals and snacks over the course of a typical week. We can take a lesson from these big guys, who expect their patrons to gather their napkins and bus their own tables at the end of each meal. One of the […]
It’s a small thing, granted, but if skipping a latte every day can make you a millionaire in 30 years, maybe paying less for spaghetti sauce each week can buy you…a tank of gas one day. Either way, it’s worth pointing out that you have options. I am convinced that spaghetti sauce is one time saver […]
There are some people who are made for bringing their lunch and, in particular, eating the same thing every day of their working lives. I know moms who pack the same lunch daily for their kids (except on pizza day in the lunchroom) and I’m amazed that the kids don’t rebel. It’s probably a good habit, though, as I’ve thought back […]
