Most of my friends are married or live with significant others … or if you are my sister are in a significant relationship with a cat. To each his own right? Anyway. One of my favorite meals to single aka eat alone is meatballs. Specifically frozen ones from my freezer. I tend to come home…
I had these grand plans of posting some glorious pictures today of my vacation in Maine. But then life happened. I got home from work yesterday and had all these plans for mac and cheese. I was going to put on some sweatpants, get in the corner of my couch, and edit pictures. All whilst…
I’m headed to Maine for the Labor Day weekend and could not be more excited about it. Maine is a land where fleece is widely accepted, bloody marys are normal, and windblown hair is trendy. The last time I went to Maine I had such an amazing time that it was worthy of 3 whole…
This is a good news, bad news recipe. Good news? Avocado fries are tasty. Bad news? Avocado fries are easy. I’m getting ready to go to head to Maine for the Labor Day holiday weekend… and as a result, I’m trying to eat anything in my house that will expire. I was a little overzealous at…
…. and all your cares will just drift away. I took the train home from the city today to the burbs. I knew from the minute I pulled into the neighborhood that the beach would be amazing. I was itching to get closer and closer to it. I instagram’d a few shots while I was…

Oh me, oh my. I came back to the North End today from a few days in the burbs. Nothing seemed to be more appealing than opening all of my windows and looking at some pictures from this weekend. Just as I was about to reach for a coconut water, I spied half of a…
In planning my Julia Child Birthday Dinner, I felt like I really needed a dessert. I’m not even a “dessert person” but it felt like an occasion where you would say …. “oh we served three courses”. I’m actually not sure how you count courses …. so maybe the meal was two or maybe it…
It feels like I’ve been doing a lot of cooking in the last week. Even now, I’m trying to figure out if it makes sense to make “bagel bombs” this weekend. They sound delicious and pretty much have all my favorite ingredients – carbs, cheese, bacon, and salt. I feel like bagel bombs would make…
Yesterday was Julia Child’s Birthday. That sassy tall number of a woman would have been 100. But before I can tell you how I celebrated Julia’s day, I feel like I need to close the book on the best brunch that there ever was. Here’s what I served: Fruit Salad (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, watermelon) Lavender…
