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 [...]

On Saturday night, despite warnings of a blizzard (seriously, New England, that’s a bit dramatic), Funk and I decided to check out Newton, MA’s raw food restaurant, Prana Raw. I’ve been wanting to try it for months, but they just opened for dinner making it that much more feasible for us to go. So we [...]

A few months ago, after Funk and I returned from a vegetarian eating frenzy on our trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley, I lamented that there just aren’t enough vegetarian restaurants in Boston. We’re in a happenin’ city, yet at best, most restaurants will only offer a cheesy veggie burger or hummus wrap – [...]

Last week I was doing some research on cafes in Harvard Square to host a 25-plus person book club (not an easy task) and came across Crema Café. I’ve heard of this café before but admittedly have never been. But, every time I come across a new restaurant, I check out the menu. It’s a [...]

As you might have read from previous blog posts, Funk and I were very well fed during our trip to California. We went with a “no holding back” mentality when it came to all the restaurants we wanted to visit. At home we might not splurge on a three course meal or ignore the price [...]

Herbivore restaurant was another restaurant on my list of must-eat places in San Francisco. With three locations right downtown, I knew it must be a popular spot. Funk and I were famished when we arrived, which was a good thing since we wanted almost everything on the menu! Herbivore is as close as you may [...]

In our first full day in San Francisco, Funk and I walked the city from top to bottom…and then top again, back down to bottom, top, bottom, on and on. The hills in that city are INSANE! We had reservations at Millennium Restaurant, which was about 25 blocks from where we were at Fisherman’s Wharf. [...]

Before we even had our hotels booked, rental car picked out, or itinerary set for our California vacation, I had a list of “must go to” restaurants. Funk (and others) commented that “1/3 of our pictures from this trip are of food!” I reminded him that 1/3 of our trip WAS food! San Francisco is [...]

Last week Funk and I spent a wonderful week on vacation in Northern California. (Sneaky how I still kept all my blog posts coming, huh? Don’t worry, I was most certainly NOT blogging while on vaca!) We started off the trip by driving right up to Calistoga, a little sleepy-town in Napa Valley. Calistoga is [...]

Last week I joined some dietitians at Canto 6 bakery in Jamaica Plain for a baking class where we were to learn how to make sweet and savory galettes. I went in not even knowing what a galette is. A galette is essentially a free form pie that doesn’t require any special equipment to make, [...]
