Chicken and Gnocchi Soup

Hi Friends – I am reposting this meal since I just made it again last night on Snapchat and I promised a few of you I would repost it. This is a great meal for when the nights start to have a chill in the air, and crusty bread is a must. I have some great new meals in store […]

My Back to School Supplies

This is hands down my favorite time of year. We had an amazing summer, one of the best summers I can remember since EVERYONE is out of diapers and they let me sleep in (praise hands alleluia). Like any good New Englander, I relish the feeling of change each new season brings. But as the nerdy academic […]

Buffalo: My Favorite Food Town

This summer has been chock full of great trips which feels novel after having kids in diapers the past 10 years. But visiting my best friend in Buffalo for her birthday along with our besties Laurie, Meg & Mike has to be up there at the top of the list. Not only is she adorable, she is a […]

6 Ingredient Zucchini Tart

It’s that time of year again, when gardeners and CSA members ask themselves: what else can I do with zucchini? If your garden is anything like ours, then you might have blinked and then looked down to see one laying on the ground that is roughly the size of a baseball bat: ^ An offering to […]

Make Dinner Easier

^Dinner a few weeks ago. Techniques used: breading, pan frying, and doing a finishing roast in the oven.  If you heard me last week on the Jen Fulwiler show on Sirius XM talking about making dinner easier, you know that my goal is to make cooking easier and more fun. Since we are getting into the […]

Lemon Garlic Shrimp Salad with Arugula and Avocado

I could write a big post that is just an ode to the summer salad. We’ve been growing fresh romain and red leaf lettuce in our back yard, and I’ve been making big batches of this homemade Panara Greek Dressing. But this salad is AH-mazing. Get ready for a flavor blast of lemon, garlic, and feta […]

Why I Love (Cheap) French Wine

First, let me start out by saying I am NOT a wine expert. This post is meant to share that as a decidedly NON-wine expert, I have found a few good wines that I am loving and a few reasons why, so I am sharing them in the hopes that you can take it and […]

Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breasts

You guys! These Mediterranean stuffed chicken breasts are amazing! I am seriously drooling looking at the picture because they were so yummy. I just made them last week and I think I need to make them again tomorrow. I love stuffing anything – chicken breasts, pork chops, zucchini boats. It is just a great way […]

Terra Firma

There is a man who walks around my neighborhood every day, the grandfather of two children who go to school with my kids. He is stout, balding, with curly white hair and a little dog who looks like he is dancing on his tip toes as they move, a contrast in big and solid vs. […]

Shrimp Ceviche

Is there anything better to eat on a hot summer night then ceviche? The first time I ever tasted ceviche was on my Honeymoon in Aruba, and I have been in love ever since (both with the dish and my husband). I went to a tapas party last night, and decided to make ceviche because […]
