Remember when Funk and I went to Puerto Rico and declared the honey lavender ice cream we enjoyed at Verde Mesa the best dessert ever? We’ve been thinking about it ever since. Last week Funk and I headed to his favorite restaurant, Blue Ginger, to celebrate the husband’s big 30th birthday. Instead of ordering dessert, [...]

A week ago I had the best birthday. Funk and my friend Pam planned a quasi-surprise party for me at one of my favorite Boston restaurants, Vlora. I knew something was happening that night, but I knew no details. Including the details that my family would be there to surprise me too! It was such [...]

I love going on food tours, whether it is a city’s walking food tour like I did in Portland, Oregon, or checking out behind-the-scenes food production like I got to do at POM Wonderful in California. But traveling across the country isn’t a requirement for getting a factory food tour, especially when there is an [...]

Over the weekend, Elizabeth, Jess and I joined another nutrition-nerd pal for brunch at Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge. This was my second time at VG and I was SO excited to go back. Funk and I recently went for lunch and I enjoyed a delicious vegan “omelet” with Taza hot chocolate. Before I even got [...]

On Friday night, Funk and I had date night at a restaurant in Somerville I’ve been meaning to try: True Bistro. It opened within a year or so, I believe, and is a straight-up, all vegan restaurant. In fact, it’s the only all vegan restaurant I can think of in the area that doesn’t serve [...]

I was recently invited to Forum by Bard Valley Medjool Dates and their spokesperson, Laura Hartung. I was in right away since I love the new Forum (used to be Vox but looks even better inside!), loooooove dates (especially adding them to my banana oat smoothies) and know Laura from some corporate wellness work we’ve [...]

Over the weekend, my friend Toni and I took a highly anticipated trip about an hour away to Northborough, MA where the first Massachusetts Wegman’s grocery store opened last month! I hold a special place in my heart for Wegman’s: spending four years in Syracuse, NY for college, I grew to love the supermarket that [...]

I have a friend who is enamored with fish tacos. She literally seeks out the best fish taco restaurants wherever she travels, and had a fish taco bar at her wedding. I never really saw the great appeal. I mean I love fish. But that’s pretty much where my love affair with fish tacos ended. [...]

I recently had the pleasure of joining some other Boston bloggers for dinner at Troquet, thanks to California Olive Ranch olive oil. We were invited for a three course dinner showcasing their olive oil (yes, including dessert!) and got to hear from the VP of Marketing, Mike Forbes, as well as local chef Tony Polito, [...]

Over the weekend I had the great pleasure of spending the day with eight other Boston food bloggers and two fabulous hosts from Bertolli for a walking food tour of the North End. Not only was it an absolutely gorgeous day to be in the Little Italy of Boston, but I always mean to spend [...]
