Go Away With … David Tutera

After making a name for himself on WE tv’s “My Fair Wedding,” celebrity wedding planner David Tutera’s back with another reality series on the cable network: “David Tutera: Unveiled.” An avid traveler, Tutera says, “My travels have always been an inspiration for my business. It opens my mind up to designs, culture and food. Travel allows me to see how other people live. I find all of the vast diversity in even our own country fascinating. The things I’ve seen and the people I’ve met have truly expanded my design capabilities and permeate every aspect of my career.”

Tomato tarte

I don’t really know what a tomato tarte is. I’ve never eaten one before, and I’ve never made one, either. But the other night, I had nothing ready for dinner. We had been planning on going out to eat. But then my husband had to stay at work longer than anticipated; I was sick (literally — thank you, allergies!) and tired of eating leftovers; and I had a small child who was (rightfully) complaining that he was hungry.

Bananarama

For today’s snack, I sent my child off to school with a surprise: a banana decorated with temporary tattoos. I’ve been wanting to do this since Day 1, but we ate them all before I could do this. This time, I set one banana aside and covered it with tattoos from the film “Cars.” And, as you can see, there’s also a tattoo of sharks. Because … sharks and cars pretty much sum up my little guy’s interests right now.

Go Away With … Tyler Florence

Tyler Florence is a chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, but he’s probably best known for his on-air work. The 42-year-old television personality is the host of the Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race,” which showcases teams of cooks traveling across the country, with the hopes of getting the opportunity to win their own food truck and a $50,000 cash prize. A father of three children, who range in age from 5 to 17, Florence says he and his wife love to travel. However, they take different types of trips these days to accommodate their youngest kids.
