I learned a valuable lesson this week. To tell this anecdote, let me back up. For the New England natives out there, you already know it was opening day for the Red Sox. Baseball is the only sport I religiously watch. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to watching all sports. But I actually enjoy watching...
Sheet Pan Chicken Piccata - 40 Minutes, Serves 4
Cabin doors are closed, wheels are up and this post is coming to you from somewhere over the Atlantic. The last 4 days have been a whirlwind of fun. Full of once in a lifetime experiences.

Fluffernutter Cupcakes
Chocolate + Fluff + Peanut Butter. Be still, my New England soul. Fluffernutter Cupcakes have arrived. If you grew up anywhere near the New England area, chances are pretty high you've had a fluffernutter sandwich. After all it is the official state sandwich in Massachusetts! Each September there is an entire weekend dedicated to the beloved...
