While I love to cook and spend time in the kitchen, every now and then I get inspired to do something completely new. Not just like a variation of an old favorite – totally new. I felt this urge right around the 4th of July… so yes, this posting is nearly a month late. I…
I honestly can’t help myself when it gets to be Summer – or really even Spring for that matter. All I want in life is just to be outside, sun on my face, in a chair, iced beverages, and tending a garden. Is that asking too much? If I’m being honest, sometimes I actually think…
It’s no secret that I love to cook. Not only it is often good for the budget, it also feels tremendously therapeutic. One of my favorite combos is to making a caprese salad and then eat it on my fire escape while I people watch. Hands down a magnificent evening for one. I say “for…
I love Maine. I honestly believe it to be the only other place I would want to live in America – besides Boston and my hometown. And if we are being honest, I don’t really love living in Boston. I don’t love handwashing dishes, constant noise pollution, or not being able to paint the cabinets.…
It’s no secret that I am a huge ocean lover. I love looking at it, standing in it, taking pictures of it, etc. The little trick here is that I actually get sea sick. When I used to sail in college, I would take dramamine every day before practice. I’m not sure if there are…
I guess we could call this the season of trying new grains… and liking it. First, bulgar. Now, Farro. There honestly isn’t much to say about this – except that it is great.

Earlier last week, fates and calendars coincided to allow for a quick little day-trip to Provincetown. I had never been all the way to the tip of the Cape but it has been a favorite destination for my Mom. A few years ago I took a Winter day trip but stopped short of the tip……
While I would love to eat a BLT for lunch every day…. it is just a bad idea for your physical heart. Your emotional heart on the other hand will be really happy with you. In the spirit of my constant battle with bacon balance, I’m always looking for a quick little meal option. I…
I’m always looking for ways to make my life more efficient… and I guess healthy. While I’m sure that I’d feel terrible, I’d love to eat bacon and everything bagels with cream cheese…. almost every day. In order to balance that out, I’ve tried a few different ways to make breakfast more exciting, cost effective,…
It’s peony season. There is something amazing, perfectly romantic and feminine about the scent of peonies. Which means, it’s that time of year I dream of constantly smelling the scent of peonies. It also feels like it’s right about now that the ocean starts to smell like summer salt water. I’d like to combine these…
