One of this blog’s readers reminded me that I never shared with you the awesome, healthified version of Pumpkin Pie that I found about a year ago. I believe I promised it to you guys around Thanksgiving – so sorry for the delay! It really is a great recipe though…and summer is a great time [...]

Most of what I know about cooking, I learned from my mother. I’m not sure how she knows what ingredients combine to make a great pasta salad – but she certainly has a knack for it! The following recipe is a spin off of a non-pasta salad that she made a few years ago. It’s [...]

When I do have time to watch television (which doesn’t seem to be much these days), my tv is tuned to The Food Network. This morning, thanks to my cat, I was up watching this very network at 7am this morning. Though I wish I had slept a bit longer, I did get the chance [...]

I’ve always lived in an area that experiences the four seasons….though to be honest, it’s more like 3 months of awesome summer, 2 months each of spring/fall, and then 7 freezing months of winter.

I was walking up my road this morning, on the way to the “T” (for all of you non-Bostonians, this is our main source of public transportation), and noticed that all of the beautiful orange, red & yellow leaves that once coated all of the trees…were now at my feet. It was about the same [...]

Out of every fall activity available in the North East, apple picking is my favorite. Of course I chose to wait until the very last minute of the 2008 apple picking season to take the trek outside of Boston. However, Mother Nature did not disappoint. After what seemed like the first of many very cold, [...]

I was at the Copley farmer’s market with my friend Madeleine the other day. If you haven’t been, you should absolutely check out a farmer’s market. These markets are the best source for fresh produce, great prices & fun new (freshly made at home) products! On this particular outing we stumbled upon a stand selling [...]
