There is no denying that people across all professions like being rewarded for working hard. Those rewards come in many forms: positive feedback, access to new developmental opportunities, bonuses, promotions, and more. Those with the most arduous job, being a loving mother, should be no exception. While showing appreciation on any day serves as a … Continue reading »
Fact: 16 million children (1 in 5) in the U.S. struggle with hunger. Nearly half of all people who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or food stamps) are kids. 21 million U.S. kids receive a free or reduced-price school lunch, but only half of those kids also get breakfast, even though they’re eligible. … Continue reading »
My Little Foodie is a hard working little man. In fact, he has been earning his keep since he was 6 months old. Now you might be wondering how this could be, given that his father is an employment attorney who should know something about Georgia’s child labor laws. I, however, am a psychologist who … Continue reading »
Fast-paced and frenetic: how I would best describe both Dim Sum at the Oriental Pearl on a Sunday afternoon and my almost 2-year old Little A’s personality. The frenzied parade of carts stacked with bamboo steamers circling around large tables with spinning lazy-Susans is a perfect match for my little man. It offers variety and … Continue reading »
A dear friend of mine always questions my obsession with deli. She frankly doesn’t get my passion for a good bowl of matzoh ball or kreplach soup, nor does she share my appreciation for a real pastrami or corned beef (I’m not talking Boar’s Head) sandwich on rye. As a Jew, it is so engrained in my culture and my history. Too me, it’s like questioning a Mexican’s love of tacos or an Italian’s love of pasta. Deli is simply a part of my DNA, as well as My Little Foodies’. Continue reading »
It may be hard to find a better way to support the community than by dining at Café Jonah and the Magical Attic. Conceived by the iconic Jenny Levinson of Souper Jenny, our family has come to love this cozy lunch and brunch spot in the heart of Buckhead. Jenny has given the Atlanta community so much in terms of “real food” to feed our stomachs and souls, and Café Jonah is just another example of how she gives back to the community. Continue reading »
If you’re a parent of young children like me, you may have a strong sense of deja vu spending your weekends at gymnastics and bouncy house parties with lunches and dinners (typically on the same day) filled with mediocre pizza and Publix birthday cake. Once we whip out a box of Sublime Doughnuts in lieu of cake, both children and parents eagerly bite into a fresh smores, butter toffee, orange dream, dulce de leche, or the signature A-Town (similar to Boston) cream.

Some of my fondest memories as a child involve sharing immense Mexican breakfasts with my family around the table in Acapulco. Since lunchtime was usually not until late afternoon (immediately followed by a nice long siesta), this was our opportunity to fill up on the freshest Mexican cuisine. I still remember the large breakfast room … Continue reading »
Ahead of its time, R. Thomas has been offering a huge menu of healthy dishes for over 25 years. You wouldn’t expect it in a city filled with fried chicken and BBQ joints (ironically, before changing his ways, owner Richard Thomas served as President of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and was one of the founders of Bojangles’).

Sushi night is a great option when you don’t feel like cooking a full on meal for family or guests. It is as simple as buying and preparing some quality sushi rice (no, Uncle Ben’s Minute Rice won’t cut it) and then selecting and slicing your fish. Continue reading »
