About

Colleen Levine is a foodie, farmers market junkie and cheese addict who was inspired by the birth of her son in 2006 to learn more about cooking healthy meals at home. She is constantly on the quest for local, organic and sustainable food options and chronicles the successes and challenges here. The FoodieTot family spends nearly every Saturday at their local farmers market, belongs to a CSA farm, and enjoys visiting the many wonderful family farms in the Chesapeake Bay region. Learning about eating well has also led to an interest in making their home more eco-friendly, so you will find green parenting news and tips here as well. She can also be found writing about cheese at Cheese and Champagne.

“I always say a gastronome who isn’t an environmentalist is just stupid, and I say an environmentalist who isn’t a gastronome is just sad.” – Carlo Petrini, Slow Food International

Recognition: FoodieTots was a finalist in the 2008 Food Blog Awards for Best Family/Kids Food Blog, and was featured as an “Editor’s Choice” blog at Best Green Blogs.
