Come Taste with Me – Cascata Bistro in Carlisle

on October 1, 2017 by GlitterMommy in Food

Welcome to my very first Come Taste with Me series. Every Friday, my husband and I (including the baby (7 months old) but he wouldn’t be able to taste anything anytime soon unfortunately 🙁 ) will venture out to try different restaurants. Before having kids, we love to try out different restaurants every now and then and now 3 of our kids are in school, we are very excited to be able to get back to our old ways. In addition to this blog series, it definitely gives us even more motivation to do so.

Let’s our journey begin!!!! If you are more of a visual person, I actually do first impression facebook live on the restaurant, if you want to re-watch the footage, check out my facebook page here. 

We are going to start our adventure off in our own backyard.  We decided to drive to Carlisle which is only 8-10 minutes from our house to try a quaint little restaurant called Cascata Bistro.

We actually have no idea what to expect because I did’t even go online to check them out or read any reviews (I know we are very brave but I really don’t want to be biased). We didn’t even make a reservation (I know, ballsy of us :P). Luckily we went there just after 2pm so the lunch crowd just died down so we literally can pick whereever we want to sit with the baby.

The inside of the restaurant is definitely not what I would expect in a good way. The outside of the restaurant looks like an old fashion home (100+ years old) but the inside is so bright and artsy, every room has its own vibe and character. I love how the two mixes together so seamlessly.  I actually didn’t go into the bathroom during my visit (duh newbie food blogger 101), but after some digging around on the internet, apparently the owner’s bike was hang on the wall in a very artistic manner and it has a story behind it too. (oh well, live and learn)

Hello my fabulous friends, today I am going to share with you one of my most requested recipes, Toddler Friendly Quinoa Recipe. As parents, we always try to change up recipes so our babies aren’t bored with the food we put on the table yet they have to be nutritious and yummy. One of the “superfood” that everyone (yes, everyone) should try is Quinoa! Even though quinoa has an unique taste, my twin boys really enjoy it and they have to have it almost everyday. They have been eating quinoa since 7 months old so it tastes perfectly normal to them. For more health benefits information, you can click here.

Long time no see my GlitterFriends! Here’s an easy, yummy and healthy recipe for y’all. It is so delicious, Princess A finished the entire pork chop herself. When I was testing this recipe, I tried both pan fried and baked, and I found baking actually made the pork cutlet crispier. It only takes 15 minutes active prepping time and about 25 to 30 minutes to bake so you should have dinner done within one hour.

Our Christmas Dinner 2014

This is what I have done to complete the big Christmas Dinner:

First thing in the morning, I turned the chickens around so the other side can be marinated as well. Then I took out about 5 cups of frozen strawberry for the dessert later tonight.  We decided we are going to have dinner at around 6:30pm so I began the cooking at 4pm.
