Family-owned and operated in Parkdale, this orchard produces apples your family won’t be able to resist, and did we mention it’s the largest in the Hood River Valley? No wonder it’s been a standing favorite for Portland families looking to get their fresh fruit fix for years. As it happens with Mother Nature, the usual apple picking schedule is a bit off this year. Currently, they’re running about two to three weeks behind, but have plans to open in early September. Rest assured that when the apples are ripe, families will be filling their baskets with any number of the nearly 150 different varieties of fruits they offer during the harvest season. That’s right, you can also score some sweet pears when you pick here. Be sure to keep an eye on their website or social media accounts to find out when the time is ripe to head over.

Three generations in and this 50-acre orchard near Portland is still producing stellar fruit that goes above and beyond apples. August and September see peaches, plums, pears, apples, nectarines, late blueberries, and even dahlias, corn, carrots, and beets. Make it whole day with a hayride later in the season, topped off with fresh cider and donuts. And the adults in the group should check out their special hard cider on tap or in bottles to take home. They are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and pups are happily allowed on a leash.

Reel ‘Em In: 14 Great Places to Go Fishing with Kids

by Jeff ToteyJune 28, 2023

Thanks to Seattle’s lineup of accessible fishing holes, going fishing with the family is surprisingly easy, even for beginners

One of the benefits of raising a family in Seattle is the accessibility to the Sound and, with it, all things water-related. Tidepooling is as simple as heading to a nearby beach on a sunny day, and you can find great spots to go kayaking no matter where you live.

It’s just as easy to go fishing. In fact, it’s especially easy to go fishing with kids because, in Seattle, children can fish without a license* (that makes it easy on the wallet, too!). The only question is: beach, pier, or boat? If you’re ready to get your little ones hooked on this time-honored family outing, check out the most popular kid-friendly fishing spots in the area. An insider tip for beginners: If your pint-sized anglers are completely new to the sport (or you are as well), you might want to opt for one of the local fishing holes that charge a small fee—they usually have experts who’d be happy to show you the ropes. Ready to hook, line, and sinker? Here’s where to bring your family of fishers.

Reverend Murphy Fishing Pier

You’ll enjoy a lovely view from this kid-friendly fishing spot in Seward Park on Lake Washington, especially if the mountain is out. Après fishing, enjoy a stroll through Seward Park, swing on the zip line, play on the playground equipment, or go for a swim at the swimming beach. Don’t forget to bring an extra layer. This fishing spot can get a bit windy.

Jim’s U Fish at Old McDebbie’s Farm

The fish are jumping at Jim’s U Fish. With two freshwater ponds stocked with rainbow trout, the fish here are surprisingly easy to catch—so younger kids think it’s lots of fun. No fishing license is required, and they will clean and bag your fish for a minimal charge ($0.50). Bring your own gear or rent from them ($3/pole). But what about the kids in your family who aren’t interested in fishing? No problem. Enjoy all that Old McDebbie’s 20-plus acre farm has to offer—it’s got exotic animals, pony rides, a petting zoo, playgrounds, and more. Pack your own lunch to enjoy at one of several picnic spots for a full day of fun with the fam.

Insider Tip: No catch-and-release is allowed here. It costs $6 per fish, and expect a $25 fee for each fish thrown back. Also: there’s an admission cost to enjoy the property amenities and go fishing.

Lincoln Park

Watch ferries crisscross the Sound as you fish from the driftwood-strewn beach at Lincoln Park. Popular with families, Lincoln Park boasts great salmon fishing during the summer months, as well as plenty of other activities (think playgrounds, hiking trails, ballfields, zip lines, and even an outdoor, heated saltwater pool). Enjoy the inclusive and accessible play elements, including a small alcove for sensory sensitive children. But be prepared: Lincoln Park can get quite busy, especially during the bi-annual “pink” salmon run.

Belvoir Place

Nestled on the shores of Union Bay, you’ll find Belvoir Place, a 400-foot dock that’s perfect fishing for kids. This hidden gem in Seattle’s Laurelhurst neighborhood is not usually busy, so it’s a calm spot for beginners. Kids can fish for largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, sablefish, black crappie, and more. Psst… one of the reasons that this spot is among Seattle’s best-kept secrets is probably because it’s quite hard to find—the dock is squeezed between two private houses.

Angle Lake

Apart from the occasional airliner passing overhead, Angle Lake is a great escape from the city. At this L-shaped, 10-acre urban park, you will find a big fishing pier, sandy beach, and grassy area as well as a playground, picnic area, and swimming beach to pass the time when the fish aren’t biting. During the summer months, silver trout called kokanee are plentiful, but you can also reel in largemouth bass, black crappie, rock bass, yellow perch, and, if you’re lucky, a rainbow trout.

Redondo Beach Pier

Countless children have memories of catching their first fish at Redondo Pier. Kids fishing for salmon, sole, and perch will be in luck at this popular spot south of Seattle. In addition to the large fishing pier, there’s a bait shop at the top. After you’ve gotten your fill, take a stroll along the boardwalk or visit the Marine Science and Technology (MAST) Aquarium for free to see what got away. The aquarium is open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and is home to over 250 species of sea life with two large touch tanks.

Green Lake

For little anglers in North Seattle, Green Lake is stocked full of rainbow and brown trout just waiting to be caught. Kids can also catch channel catfish, carp and pumpkinseed sunfish. With excellent shoreline access and fishing piers, you can drop your line anywhere around the lake and see what will nibble on your line. Of course, Green Lake also offers tons of other activities if the fish are not biting, including a three-mile paved trail, boat rentals, a play area, a wading pool, and lots of tasty nearby eateries and coffeeshops.

Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park

There’s so much to do at this Lake Washington park, including kid-friendly fishing from the pier. Hang out at the fishing pier or stroller along the paved shoreside walking trails. But don’t worry if you don’t catch any fish, you can always catch a tasty cod ‘n’ chips from Ivars Seafood Bar, located right by the fishing pier or grab a burger from Kidd Valley. No dogs are allowed at Coulon Beach, so leave Fido at home.

Luther Burbank Park

If you’re looking for a spot in between Bellevue and Seattle, head over to Mercer Island, where the fishing is fine! Drop your line into Lake Washington from the fishing pier at Luther Burbank Park and see if you can catch a black crappie, coastal cutthroat, largemouth bass, crawfish or longnose sucker—all while enjoying the amazing views. The park boasts three-quarters of a mile of waterfront, a swimming beach (no lifeguard on duty), a great play area, and an off-leash dog park for your pooch.

The Old Fishing Hole

The Old Fishing Hole, adjacent to the Green River Trail, is a favorite of young fishers for generations, catering to anglers aged 14 years and younger. The best part? It’s stocked with 1,500 trout every year. So grab yourself a spot on the grassy shore, bait your hook and reel ’em in! While there, take a walk along the loop trail. It’s easy—it’s only .25-miles long. Also, check out the “Cedar and Salmon” totem pole carved by artist David Boxley.

Gold Creek Trout Farm

This hatchery can be loads of fishy fun for amateur anglers, but you might find the fish are a little too easy to catch (sometimes they’re practically jumping on to your line). They offer everything you need for a great first-time-fishing experience. The poles, bait, buckets, nets, and helpful staff are all included and no fishing license is required, although outside poles are not allowed. No reservations are needed, and pricing is based on the size of the fish you catch. They will even clean the fish if you like ($0.50 per fish). There’s no catch-and-release here, so plan to bring your fish home.

Insider Tip: Gold Creek Trout Farm is a state-certified food fish supplier, and their ponds are filled with spring water so the fish have a very fresh taste.

Pine Lake Park

The young Eastside anglers’ not-so-secret spot, Pine Lake, is perfect for fishing with kids. The catch rate is highest early in the season, but also consider stopping by in the fall when fish have had all summer to grow and then become active around the lake in the cooler temperatures. Here, you can reel in rainbow trout, largemouth bass, brown bullhead, yellow perch, and pumpkinseed sunfish from the fishing pier. Or bring your boat and try catching a big one out in the lake. There is ample shoreline and a large fishing pier at the public park. There is a boat ramp, but water craft are restricted to car-toppers and float tubes; outboard motors are prohibited.

Edmonds Marina Fishing Pier

With the incredible views of Puget Sound, the ferries coming and going and the seasoned fishers lined up along the railing, the Edmonds Marina Fishing Pier has lots to offer. Kids can watch the masters show them how it’s done and maybe even offer a little advice, if you ask nicely. The dock is walking distance from local shops and restaurants so you can grab a bite once you’ve caught your quota.

Golden Gardens Park

It would be difficult to find a more beautiful spot to fish than Golden Gardens. Even if the fish aren’t biting, the view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains is spectacular. Located in Ballard, this park also features two wetlands, a short loop trail and a children’s play area and lots of sandy beaches if you decide to hang up the poles and build a sandcastle instead.

*Editor’s Note: As previously stated, children 14 years old and under do not need a fishing license to fish in the state of Washington. However, they do need to keep and fill out a catch record card if they are fishing for salmon, halibut, sturgeon, steelhead, or Puget Sound Dungeness crab. You can register for one online or call the Fish Program Customer Service line at 360-902-2700 for more information. All catch record cards must be returned to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife by the appropriate deadline, even if you didn’t catch anything.

Cast Your Line at These Kid-Friendly Fishing Spots

by Kate LowethApril 8, 2022

Hook, line and sinker! Teach a kid to fish and they’ll learn all about patience and what it’s like to wait…and wait! These nearby lakes and piers are great places to fish (or kayak!) plus many park districts offer classes to get kids hooked (ha!). Grab your pole for an adventure out in the sun and get ready to bring home a tasty dinner!

San Francisco

Lake Merced
The only lake fishing in San Francisco can be found at here, at both North and South Lake. Stocked with catchable trout year round, this is a great spot to let the kiddos try newly acquired skills. The lake is super close to the SF Zoo too, so listen carefully to hear the lions roar at feeding time! Fishing is allowed at any of the docks along the perimeter but shoreline fishing is not allowed.

Skyline Boulevard and Harding Rd.
San Francisco, CA

Municipal Pier
One of the most popular of the piers dotting the edge of San Francisco and home to amazing amount of sea life. Crabs, sharks, stingrays, perch, salmon and halibut are only a few of the creatures that might end up on the end of the pole. Fishermen mingle with joggers and tourists, as it’s location is only three blocks from Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. No fishing license is required!

Van Ness and McDowell Ave.
San Francisco, CA

Golden Gate Park Anglers Club and Casting Pond
Want to practice your fly fishing techniques? On the second Saturday of every month, the Golden Gate Angling & Casting Club offers classes for all levels at the casting pools in Golden Gate Park. The club has equipment to loan out for these lessons but arrive early to take advantage of that. Pre-registration is required and check the calendar before you go in case other events have moved the date.

The ponds are located within Golden Gate Park and this address will get you closest: 1232 John F. Kennedy Dr. Look for signs to the Angler's Lodge.
San Francisco, CA

East Bay

Lake Chabot
This beautiful reservoir is a perfect spot for kids to experience fishing for the first time. From fly-fishing to renting a canoe and heading for the middle of the water, the lake is well stocked with trout and catfish. The Lake Chabot Marina Cafe sells bait and tackle as well as fishing licenses (required for those 16 and older). Although there are fish cleaning tables nestled around the lakeshore, catch-and-release angling is encouraged.

Lake Chabot Rd.
Castro Valley, CA

Shadow Cliffs Lake
A small lake in Pleasanton, this is a great place to fish for trout and catfish. Kids can try their hands on the shore or the piers but get in early! A hidden gem of a fishing spot, the good spots can be taken right away. As it’s not a reservoir but a deep lake created for the sole purpose of fishing and recreation, the water levels stay high year-round. Look for trout up to 10 pounds, catfish, bass and bluegill. A park district daily access pass is required to fish.

Insider Tip: Fishing derbies are held annually and the swimming beach has a bathhouse and refreshment stand!

2500 Stanley Blvd.

1 Johnson Pier
Half Moon Bay, CA

Oyster Point Pier
This pier in South San Francisco is a favorite of shark anglers. Striped bass and sturgeon are also common catches. Check the tides before your visit as high tide is the prime fishing time from the pier. The bait and tackle shop has closed so come prepared with your own equipment.

Oyster Point Blvd.
So. San Francisco, CA

For snow tubing and ice skating, head to Scaly Mountain just across the Georgia border in between Dillard and Highlands, North Carolina. It’s only a two hour drive, so you can easily do it as a day trip. However, if you want to make a weekend of it, there are plenty of family-friendly accommodations nearby. Scaly offers three snow lines for individual tubers (must be 4 years old and 42”tall) and a kiddie slope for kids under four. You can also try out some ice skating in their outdoor rink and trout fishing in stocked ponds (if they aren't frozen over).

Sapphire Valley Ski Resort

Located about 2 ½ hours from Atlanta, Sapphire Valley offers the closest ski lodge experience. Its ski courses consist of a 1600 foot main run with a vertical drop of 200 feet and a beginner slope with modest vertical drop of 50 feet and a moving carpet lift - and did somebody say "ski school?" Yep. They did, and Sapphire Valley has it.

Ober Gatlinburg

Snow Cubbies is the perfect place for small children to play in the snow and discover winter excitement, but it's open weekends and Holidays only—so be sure to check before you trek. You can also bump, spin, and zoom around the Ice Rink in Ice Bumper Cars (or ice skate, of course), and for the more adventurous, there's skiing, snowboarding, and a terrain park.

Take Flight: How to Soar Like an Eagle

by Christal Y.March 12, 2016

Unfortunately, no, this is not a hack on flying without wings. This tutorial is more of a fun guide on letting your imagination take flight for American Eagle Day. So get your arms ready! Here’s how to act like the king of the skies for a day.

1. Eagles are known for their alert features, from their sharp eyes to the perfect body. It’s important to get a good night’s sleep (or let your kiddos sleep in a few minutes more) to achieve those eagle eyes. If you want to dress up like an eagle for the day, wear a brown long-sleeved shirt or jacket and yellow pants.

2. Eat a healthy meal of fish! Salmon is a popular choice for bald eagles from late summer to fall. And who doesn’t love a side of smoked salmon with cream cheese for breakfast? Other fishy options include catfish, herring, and trout. Since eagles capture their food with talons, this is the perfect reason to indulge in bite-sized finger foods.

3. Exercise is very important. Visit your local playground and let your little birdie flap their wings as they run around. Older, more nimble tots can climb to a comfortable and safe height where they can perch and view the land below. If you’re really up for some sky soaring, lift your babe in the air like the dad in the photo above.

4. Play a reflex game or test your response time! As a prey animal, eagles have a well-trained eye and quick reflexes so that they can easily snatch fishes out of water. Take your kid to the arcade for a round of whack-a-mole or measure your response time with these online response time experiments from Neuroscience for Kids.

5. Make a nest out of cut paper. This gorgeous project by Art Bar Blog is incredibly stunning and doesn’t require sticks at all! It’s the perfect afternoon craft for busy birdies who don’t have time to venture outside to find the perfect twigs and branches. All you need is paper, scissors (or a shredder), Elmer’s glue, a paint brush, a bowl and plastic wrap.

A Mini Treehugger’s Guide to Muir Woods

by Garrick RamirezJuly 16, 2015

If your little one doesn’t exactly exhibit reverence for things older and taller than them (especially around bedtime), take ‘em to Muir Woods National Monument. It’s one of the last old-growth redwood forests on the planet and one of the only native salmon runs in California. Plus, there’s more than a few opportunities for your tiny treehugger to duck into a massive tree hollow and ham it up for your Instagram feed.

Why It’s So Special
Muir Woods sports a variety of tree types but everyone’s here to see the Sequoia Sempervirens. These coast redwoods are the tallest—and one of the oldest—living things on earth. Why coastal? Because they like the summer fog probably more than you do; it supplies them with nearly half of their water intake. The tallest tree in Muir Woods is over 250 feet and most trees are between 600 to 800 years old. The oldest tree is thought to be 1,200 years young which is merely middle-age for redwoods.

William Kent noted how special these trees were when he and his wife purchased the land in 1905. Two years later, he donated it to the federal government and in 1908 it was proclaimed a National Monument

Happy Trails
Muir Woods sports a number of trails but most visitors are content with the Main Trail Loop. And rightly so: It’s an easy, level stroll that passes through the park’s most notable features including the hushed, awesomeness of Cathedral Grove. You can tailor the path’s length (½ hour, hour or 1 ½ hours) by choosing one of four bridges to cross to head back. Godsend for Gracos: the Main Trail is a stroller-friendly mix of boardwalk and paved road.

Salmon Rush In
Redwood Creek begins on Mount Tam, winds through Muir Woods and flows out into the Pacific at nearby Muir Beach. In Winter, Coho Salmon and Steelhead Salmon (the fish formerly known as Steelhead Trout) return from the ocean to swim back upstream and spawn. You can catch them after heavy rains in December and throughout March. Watch for their offspring in summer months, darting in the deep pools that collect along the river.

Earn a Badge
One of the most enjoyable aspects of visiting Muir Woods with young kids is their ability to become a Junior Ranger. Just pick up a free activity book from the Visitor Center and complete a series of hands-on exercises that guide you through the park. Upon completion, your child will be awarded a cool, wooden badge and get sworn in as an official Junior Ranger.

Wholesome Provisions
There’s no Coke or Cheetos in the redwoods (this is Marin after all). Instead, you’ll find a cafe offering line-caught tuna and organic peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as well and the Marin Melt, a toasty sandwich that’s made with local cheeses and was featured on the Food Network’s The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Gift Shops
Nope, it’s not a typo: the gift shops within the park are plural. Muir Woods Trading Company has all the trappings of a tourist stop (think bear statuary carved from wood) while the Visitor Center bookstore stocks a smartly-curated selection of books and toys.

The Parking Situation
You must reserve a parking spot in advance or arrange for a shuttle ride (also in advance), check out gomuirwoods.com to book your spot.

Good to Know

Entrance fees are $15/adults ages 16 and up and free for children ages 15 and under. Check the site for free days throughout the year.
The redwoods host a wide array of life and they all like the thermostat turned down low. Even when it’s warm in the parking lot, it’s cold and moist in the groves so don’t leave jackets in the car.
There are two full-service restrooms at Muir Woods: one in the parking lot and another adjacent to Muir Woods Trading Company in the park.

2 NEW Dinner Delivery Services That Are Totally Divine

by jolie loebJune 3, 2015

It’s the dreaded question, every single night. What is for dinner? Good question, kids. Wouldn’t it be delightful if some ambitious, nutritious partner in crime who would deliver the goods to our door, and all we had to do (on demand or in advance) was click a button or two to make the magic happen? Done and done with Munchery and DoorDash, two new LA food delivery services that will change your life.

Introducing: Munchery
When was the last time Chef Ryan Carson (Napa Rose, Prive) delivered Almond Brown Butter Crusted Trout to your door, to eat in your jammies along side a Vietnamese Shrimp and Noodle Salad (he made that too)? And when was the last time Chef Lizette Martinez (Hatfields, Providence, Watergrill) brought you cheesecake with blueberry compote? Peanut Butter Chocolate Tart? Or a lemon poppy seed muffin making breakfast bound for glory? It’s been awhile. Actually, wait; it’s been never. Until Munchery.

Time To Refine
That’s the whole premise behind Munchery: bringing a little civilization back to the dinner table, without adding to your crushing parenting workload.

Sounds Amazing. But How Does It Work?
It’s not your typical take-out. Rather than ordering from an actual restaurant, you kind of get to create one. In a bold and beautiful collaborative effort to make dinnertime easy, tasty and healthy, a collection of culinary talent (names worth dropping, and we will) have unified to make dinner for us. Since it’s seasonally driven, the menu items change, but the procedure doesn’t.

Here’s what you do: Select from a variety of mains ($8-$12), sides/salads ($8-$10), desserts and drinks ($2-$7), and the lynchpin that hooked us, kids meals featuring a main and a side (read: not one fried mass of chicken-like product), averaging $6. And the kid portions are large: kids grilled salmon, asparagus, and rice for $5.95, is enough for two. Plus the whole elegant factor has kids begging to sample your trout and udon noodles. Palate pleasing and expanding? We’ll take seconds.

Some Kids Like Salmon
But if those kids are not your kids, you will delight in the fact that kids are so inspired by their meal to try yours (OK, fine, Chef Scott Garrett’s). Chef Garrett, whatever you do with that Salmon & Chickpea Salad, keep up the good work. It must be dusted in miracle spice, alongside those seaweed whipped potatoes, because it seems to get picky non-fish eaters gobbling sea fare.

Lots of Cooks in the Kitchen
And they’re prepping to be making your meal and deliver it between 4 p.m.-9 p.m. They’ve harnessed talent from Hatfields, Providence, Patina, Craft. (Name dropping, as promised.) Vegan? Gluten Free? Bring it on. Dietary restrictions are listed accordingly.

Comes Complete with Stickers and Compostable Flatware
In the kid kingdom stickers may make for a happy meal, but Mother Earth is smiling down on Munchery, too. All packaging is made from recyclable and/or compostable matter (bamboo!, sugar cane fibers!) and when deliveries aren’t made by bike (which they often are), car delivery impacts are off set by planting trees through The Conservation Fund. There is no chance any dinner you have ever made has done that much good for the universe.

And Everybody Eats
Munchery’s got conscience. Mad conscience. For every order placed, they’ll give a meal to a person in need through our local food banks. If ordering out you gives you any guilt, we’re pretty sure they just eradicated it.

Timing is Everything
Everything arrives chilled so that when you’re ready to serve dinner, you can heat it and it will arrive at the table piping hot and ready. No rushing everyone to the table because delivery arrived and it’s only barely tepid for a few more minutes. Just factor in that window, as most hot meals will require a 10-15 minute heat up in the oven (though microwave directions are included as well). And orders can be placed on-demand ($4.50 delivery charge), days in advance ($2.95 delivery charge for orders scheduled ahead), or a week out, if that’s how you roll. Just log into the website or download the app and they’ll get cookin’.

Munchery opened in Los Angeles in May, and is rapidly expanding to serve the whole city. Check to see if they’ll deliver to you now, or enter your email and they’ll notify you when they come to your hood (and they’ll send you a free meal when they arrive!).

Introducing: DoorDash
We may hang up the oven mitts for good. DoorDash has a different spin on delivery, in that it’s amassed a collection of the most desirable dining spots in town that don’t do delivery. These are restaurants you’d love to be eating at on a Friday night (or a Tuesday, or Wednesday…) but with work, school, laundry, soccer practice, not to mention kids pulling out their restaurant manners when they’re tired: that just wasn’t going to happen. You realized you weren’t getting to eat this food until the kids were in college. Until DoorDash said, “We’ll deliver it tonight.” So you can throw out (or tuck away, they’re still good for birthday parties) the pizza delivery menus, now real food is getting delivered, from your favorite spots, exactly when you want it.

What You Want, When You Want It
Simply plug in your zip code and watch as hip and healthy restaurants that make you happy present themselves. This is the part where we got super excited, as many eateries we had deemed off the table due to unbearable parking, the expectation of unbearable shoes, or wait times that we wouldn’t put ourselves through, let alone a hungry toddler. But here they are. Ready to deliver, on demand or schedule a time. That’s right, you don’t need to just take an order as soon as they can deliver it, which often means dinner arrives too soon or when everyone has passed on to cranky town. You can log on first thing in the morning and place your order for tonight. Then don’t think about dinner all day long.

Bring Out The Big Guns
Remember how we said there were exceptional restaurants available? Think big. Think anniversary dinner big. Then check. It’s likely they’re part of the Door Dash roster. Maybe the kid isn’t ready for Spago. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Spago isn’t ready for your kitchen table. And it’s not all high end, either. You can get any of your favorites, or spots that don’t ever deliver. From the vegan delights at Gracias Madres to juice deliveries from Kreation, to a whole bunch of cupcakes from Sprinkles to fresh seafood from BP Oysterette. Bouchon brings Keller’s cuisine to your house and Morton’s will serve up a steak extravaganza. And that’s a random, middle of town sampling. Check your location to see who delivers to you.

Planning a birthday dinner for Grandma who has trouble with stairs, a kids party with Baby Blues BBQ and Sweet E’s cupcakes or your 10th Anniversary from Spago? You can do it all from your phone at 11 a.m. on the day of.

At What Cost Delivery
$6.99 per delivery, no minimum. Now, delivery charges we could always do without (who are we kidding), but Door Dash’s differentiating features manage to make the surcharge digestible. Take Group Cart. Have you ever been the person taking everyone’s take-out order, trying to not miss how this one doesn’t want onions and that one wants fries but only if they’re sweet potato and gluten free? It’s not the most fun role. Group Cart enables everyone to access the order via a shared link. So much simpler! You can save addresses to your account, you can advance order up to 5 days in advance. So for that PTA meeting at your house you can skip potluck, pick a restaurant, send a link and let everyone order what they like. Oh, this will come in handy when the kids turn teen, too.

Our Favorite Feature
With all that functionality, our very favorite feature is the simplest. You pay when you order, tip and all. No fumbling to balance a delivery bag as you awkwardly sign the credit slip. And since the tip is already paid ahead of time, say “Sayonara” to that awkward fish for cash moment once the doorbell rings. That $6.99 is worth every penny.

Dashing Through Your Door, With Courtesy
They’ll tell you at order time exactly how long your wait will be, or you can schedule for a specific time delivery in advance. And expect a courtesy text informing you they’re on their way, and even a call ahead to make sure doorbells won’t be waking any wee ones. They’ve got it down, soup to nut allergies. From their door to yours, dinner is served, cancel the sitter, your favorite restaurant is coming to dinner.

DoorDash began serving LA on the Westside in 2014, and has been adding a neighborhood or two with regularity until now they’re serving a majority of the city. If the service isn’t available in your hood yet, check back often, as they’re adding new restaurants and neighborhoods daily.

Red Tricycle readers can save $7 when you use the code REDTRI from June 1-10. Redeem your discount online.

Halloween Music Video Premiere: Trout Fishing in America “Boo!”

by jeff bogleOctober 21, 2013

We once accidentally referred to Trout Fishing in America as a “multi-Grammy Award Winning children’s band.” In reality, the Arkansas power-duo of Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet have won exactly the same number of Grammys as this writer has. The difference is, they’ve actually deserved a few of the golden gramophones!

The bar-band-turned-family-music-legends released a terrific new album last month, with an even more terrific title in Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers, that might just nick them their first Grammy (at the very least, a nomination for their thumb…and everyone knows that the 5th time’s a charm!).

The first video from the new disc is for the minor-keyed, Halloween-ish “Boo!” and we have the world premiere of it right here. Watch the eerie, but not exactly scary (unless male beard stubble frightens you!), Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired video below and then download the song plus a few other not-at-all-spooky kindie rock treats (including brilliant songs by Justin Roberts and The Pop Ups) as a Red Tricycle ‘Rocktober’ reader exclusive!

Now download “Boo!” PLUS seven more Halloween-y kindie songs for free for the next 72 hours! No costume necessary!

Happy Mom Tip #45: Skip Those Christmas Cookies

by writerredtriDecember 23, 2012

I’m a big fan of high-fat foods; fat tastes good, after all. And research has shown that some types of fats, like Omega-3s, can calm us and even have antidepressant effects. But other studies show that trans-fats, or partially hydrogenated oils, may make us feel aggressive, and that they can trigger inflammatory reactions that are linked to depression, heart disease and cancer.

Trans-fats are typically found in processed foods–particularly fried foods and packaged baked goods. Since aggression, depression, heart disease and cancer are not happiness habits, clearly what we eat affects our happiness.

This week, make an effort to eat something high in a fat that is likely to make you feel good, such as something high in the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. DHA is found in oily fish, like trout and salmon. (If you are vegetarian, algae is the only DHA-rich vegetable source that I’m aware of.) Let that yummy smoked trout salad replace your side of french fries, chips, or (sigh) those cookies that came in a package.
