It's spring time!!! Fresh air in the house, flowers growing in the front yard and the return of the outdoor farmers market. Take a deep breath, pause, and let it out. Feels great, does it not? It has been really great these last two days, minus some killer wind, but the fresh air and higher...
Apple & Honeyed Goat Cheese Galette
Why is brunch SO good?! Well, I suppose it depends on your own personal taste buds, but seriously, who doesn't love brunch? It's like a hodge podge of savory and sweet delectable treats, I honestly don't understand how you could not find something. Besides the array of wonderful things to eat, the atmosphere of brunch is...
Cucumber Kale Salad with Avocado Dressing
Shea is 10 months old…sigh…I can’t even believe it. Everyone says how fast they grow, but in the beginning you're just trying to survive while constantly worrying about doing everything right that you don’t even realize it. And now I’m planning her 1st birthday party, wishing time could just stand still for a minute or...
Boston Public Market
Boston is a great city. It's a city for students, professionals, travelers, for all the decades of your life - Boston was good to me in my 20s with few responsibilities and will be good to me in my 30s, now married with a beautiful baby girl. There is so much you can do, no matter...
Spring Rose Cocktail
I was inspired today by the man in the grocery store wearing flip flops. You sir, could quite possibly be dedication incarnate. Though we currently face a possible 3+ inches of snow tomorrow and it is a mere 30 degrees here, you refuse to let that stop your celebration of the first day of Spring....
Chia Seed Pudding
The weather has been pretty great in New England this March and thus an equally great motivator for me to get my act together health wise. Just around the corner is my first 5k of the year and my 30th birthday...groan...both great motivating factors. Though I do love to make lots of sweets and indulgent...
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Pizza should be considered a delicacy. Crunchy doughy crust, fresh and vibrant tomatoes, gooey cheese, fresh herbs, meat, vegetables...pretty much everything good in the world. You literally can have pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - even dessert! Seriously, is there ever a bad time for pizza? With so many options out there, it's nice...
Matcha Macarons
I'm not sure about you, but sometimes I am a bit too competitive for my own good. I love a challenge, particularly a challenge with myself. I like to find something I've never made before, put my own spin on it and come up with a recipe...which usually ends up in several attempts before it...
Farro with Coppa & Cauliflower
Looking for a new side dish to switch things up? I recently discovered farro and I love it! The texture to the grain is firm but light. However, on it's own it's a little boring. By adding the salty, crispy coppa with the roasted cauliflower, it provides different textures and a variety of flavors that...
Less Guilty Tortilla Chips
Ahh, nothing like a good pun to start the day. If you know me in person, you've probably heard me quote this video a million times or made you watch it. Well I found it a rather appropriate addition to today's post. Apparently February 24th is National Tortilla Chip Day, which coincides perfectly with our leftover...
