If you are like my wife and I, you probably enjoy going out and sampling local restaurants and bars – particularly if you are traveling somewhere new.  Unfortunately, too many times, once children come along, families relegate themselves to fast food and/or national “family friendly” chain restaurants.  Lets face it, these restaurants provide an easy, safe, clean environment where children are welcome – but they are boring.  By routinely going to these fast food/chain restaurants, I think families miss out on a number of locally owned restaurants that can in fact be very family-friendly and provide a great alternative to the chain restaurants.  This blog is designed to identify and review these locally owned restaurants that at first glance may not seem family-friendly but are in fact a great place for the family to eat.   Please feel free to submit any suggestions from your town or the places you visit. Thanks

One of my family’s favorite meals is called little pizzas. We take an English muffin and split it, put some tomato sauce on it, then some low fat mozzarella cheese with some pepperoni slices (hey sometimes you just have to splurge)! However, some healthier toppings would be ham (lean), Canadian bacon, turkey sausage, peppers, olives, or sliced or diced onions.
