I whipped up this pizzette recipe in my head, and then in my kitchen, and it is a winner winner pizzette dinner. Although I finally mastered making polenta on the stovetop, I still like the prepared polenta that comes in a tube. Call me lazy, but it’s one less pot to scrape clean after a [...]

The other night Jess and I went Brookline Booksmith to hear a favorite author, Molly Wizenberg, speak and do a reading from her book A Homemade Life. I read this book within the last year and while I was reading, felt like I was chatting with a good friend in her kitchen over a cup [...]

Many of my clients are looking for quick, family-friendly meal ideas. One idea I go back to over and over with them is the idea of a bar. Think taco bar, pasta bar, sweet potato bar, etc. Kids can choose which toppings they enjoy and feel like they have control over their meal, which also [...]

I know, I know, my birthday was almost a month ago and I already posted about it. But I just have to share this adorable and thoughtful gift I received from my Don’t (White) Sugar Coat It friend Elizabeth. She surprised me with this supremely adorable [veggie] tote with a broccoli floret right on it. [...]

With Passover starting this week, we decided to use up some bread that was taking up space in the freezer. So Sunday night I whipped up some grilled Mushroom Mozzarella Paninis for a quick dinner. I started by grilling portabella mushrooms on our grill pan for a few minutes on each side. Next I spread [...]

A few months ago I learned about a new vegan restaurant called Pulse Cafe that opened in Somerville’s Davis Square, and have had it on my “must visit” restaurant list ever since. Reading a recent article on Hegans (he-vegans) in the Boston Globe reminded me about this restaurant so Funk and I headed there for [...]

Hello! This is just a test. I’m switching from Blogger to WordPress and am just fiddling around, getting my bearings here. Thanks!

I had a major stroke of good luck last week. You may have seen my post about the wedding-related winnings I received from Style Me Pretty. I thought it was pretty much the coolest prize in the world. And it is. I didn’t think it could get any better – until Thursday rolled around and [...]

Over the weekend, I headed down to Baltimore with Jess from A Fete for Food for the FitBloggin conference. Wow! It was so exciting to be there (and the 70+ degree weather certainly helped). The FitBloggin’ Conference was for anyone who blogs about fitness, wellness, good food and a healthy lifestyle. FitBloggin brought together the [...]

The other night I opened our veggie drawer to find a head of broccoli and two portabella mushrooms. I didn’t have a plan in mind for these tasty vegetables, which is rare for me. Usually I hoard recipes for weeks, flag them in my inbox, and put their ingredients on our grocery list. Not this [...]
