Salsa and Spinach Egg Muffins
100 years ago, here in my hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, there was a tank explosion which sent a 15 foot wave of molasses careening into the city at 50 feet per second. The North End, which is now filled with cannolis and restaurants making fresh pasta, was shut down for weeks after the flood killed […]
Sweet Potato Hash browns with Avocado
Work has been HARD this week (even with only two days) and I am READY for a vacation. I can’t wait to spend the next 4.5 days with family and friends preparing and eating tremendous meals. We have a tradition of driving to see both of our families over the course of this holiday and […]
Simple Sunday Shakshuka
As I’ve written before, several times actually, I love podcasts! Recently a friend suggested I listen to “Happier”, by Gretchen Rubin, which is all about small ways you can make your life just a bit more joyful. Each episode includes some ‘try this at home’ strategies along with the perfect amount of light-hearted banter between […]
Sweet Potato, Spinach, Sausage, and Shallot Egg Muffins
“You don’t need fixing – you are perfect just the way you are!”- Adriene Mishler January 1st has arrived and I’m ready to close the door on 2017 and enter 2018 with an open mind. This will be my third year kicking off the year with a 30 days of yoga series put out by […]
Sausage and Broccoli Make-Ahead Strata
I’ve seen many make-ahead breakfast bakes posted this week and I fully understand why this is a well loved and well utilized tradition around the holidays. I remember my mother first making this strata for Christmas in 2013 when we hosted my husband’s parents for a holiday feast. She used this recipe from King Arthur […]
The Kale, Potato, and Onion Frittata Experiment
This weekend we are hosting our 8th annual friends thanksgiving feast! This meal started in our first apartment, and each year has morphed to include new friends, new dishes, and new traditions. This weekend I am also celebrating the TWO year anniversary of the blog. The blog archives currently hold a barley and butternut squash […]
The ‘Huevos Rancheros’ Experiment
I love playoff baseball! The energy of every game is electric and I always get to know some new teams and players outside of the Cardinals and Red Sox (the foundation of our family rivalry). The downside of this season is that we have been staying up until at least midnight for far too many […]
The Green Shakshuka Experiment
I have been on a reading rampage so far this year as I work towards my goal of reading 25 books in 2017. So far I’ve read 11. Commuting used to be an anxiety producing part of my day filled with honking horns and unexpected construction. (Have I mentioned I live in Boston?) Now, however, […]
Spinach, Sausage, and Leek Breakfast Bake
Ok April, here we go. This year, my April will be filled with veggies and devoid of carbs. Inspired by some friends, I’ve decided to do my own ‘cleanse’ this month where I eat lots of real food, less sugar, fewer grains, and little to no alcohol – eek! It is day three and I […]
