Happy birthday!

We celebrated Chad's birthday yesterday by going to Citron in Providence for some very tender and juicy steaks. Since we have yet to find a babysitter, we brought the little man along. We have found the perfect recipe for keeping him calm in a restaurant:
1- sit at a booth, that way he can wiggle around a little more
2- bring the binky and blanket
3- bring candy

Happy Birthday Chad! Your wife and son love you!

 

 

So Tasty!

So excited that a Trader Joes was just built in RI! Before that, I had forgotten how to cook w/o my TJ staples. There was none in the state, and 1 opened about 2 weeks ago. And yes, I did go to the opening day. Crazy, the parking lot was slammed, there were no more shopping carts. For all you other TJ fans, here is a list of my favorites that you NEED to get:

Gorgonzola Gnocchi (Michaels favorite!)
Quesadillas with vegges
Vanilla and Almond Clusters cereal
Vanana Yogurt
Michaels whole milk yogurts (I sneak a bite or two of his yummy, thick, fatty yogurt)
Chocolate orange sticks
Truly handmade tortilla
Par-baked rolls (put them in the freezer and pull out a few when ever you want fresh bread)
Mandarin Orange Chicken
Chicken Shu Mai
Corn Bread
Basil plant for 3.99 (the same price as a little package)
Mozzarella Log
Mediterranean Hummus
Sweet Potato Fries
Sublime Ice cream sandwiches (don't look at the calories, just eat em)
Spinach Artichoke dip

Ok, so this ended up looking more like a shopping list than a quick note of my favorites. But i need to have them all, they are all so good.

Do you have any favorites I need to try?

Happy Halloween!

Michael was his favorite person this year- Shrek. He got a kick out of trick or treating, and by the end of the night was going on his own.
