Being my first post-Frank creation/thank you gift to the radiation staff at MGH, I wanted to go big or go home. For what was a rather personal journey made public, I would like to think mission accomplished for all of the above. These cupcakes are big on flavor, texture and balance of salty and sweet...
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow...
Halfway, baby! We are halfway done with radiation. Well, technically just over the midpoint - 14 days left. If you're curious what treatment is actually like, it's really very quick, efficient and simple. We drive to Mass General Hospital, head to the Proton Center, I scan my card upon arrival and about 5 to 10...
Peanut Butter Bushwacker
Creamy, frozen flavors of rum, chocolate, sweet coconut and pineapple team up with the savory goodness of Peanut Butter to create the ultimate frozen drink. Whether on a beach in the Caribbean or soaking up the sun in your backyard, this cocktail is perfect for a hot summer day. Island Vibes I love the sun....
3 Days and Counting...
A decision has been made. Three days to go until it's fruition. A lot in terms of momentum has happened since my first post about Frank. It's funny, not in a haha way, but perhaps more unexpected than funny, how fast 10 months can go by when you are constantly waiting for the next appointment....
Julie's Birthday Margarita
This post is dedicated to my dear friend Julia Gulia. Today is her 25th birthday and we are all looking forward to celebrating her presence in our lives. She is a one of a kind friend. My grandma-partner in crime. I can always count on her to be the only friend in our core group...
Poblano-Chorizo Mac and Cheese
The saying goes, "in for a penny, in for a pound" doesn't it? Well, in this situation we're not talking about the money in your wallet. More simply put, this mac and cheese doesn't skimp. Doesn't skimp on the cheese, the milk, the carbs, or the flavor. If you are in the market for a...
Burrata with Arugula & Strawberries
It is almost summertime and with busy schedules and (hopefully) warm, beach days around the corner, time to start building your summertime recipe arsenal, or more realistically your pinterest board. This post has been inspired by our recent string of summer-like weather and the fact that we have used our grill literally every day this...
Everybody meet Frank, Frank meet the Internet
There is a squatter living in my house. I didn't know he was there, but it turns out he's been hanging out for quite some time and making himself comfortable. Slowly...taking up space at his own leisure. Hosting dinner parties and playing scrabble games, living rent free with no utilities for who knows how long....
Melon-Basil Margarita
Happy Thirsty Thursday everyone! It's almost the weekend, you are practically there. Why not celebrate? In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we are celebrating with tequila...I mean, it has nothing to do with really liking it or anything...ok, maybe that has a lot to do with it. Today also gives us a great opportunity for...
Be. In Union Yoga
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the...yoga class? I'm not sure that's how the saying goes, but my latest fitness venture certainly had me sweating. It's been about a year and a half since I've taken a hot yoga class due to pregnancy and crazy postnatal life - turns out it's not...
