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 […]

Spinach Squares

“Don’t wait for perfect conditions to move forward.”   Laying on my yoga mat last night my teacher began class with these words. I hadn’t been to the studio in several weeks and she seemed to be speaking directly to me! How does she always do that?  I spent the hour working through poses and re-introducing […]

General Gau’s Cauliflower

Ever since we moved into our house two years ago we’ve had repainting the living and dining rooms on our upcoming projects list.  However, with our limited decorative talents and general indecisiveness this project hasn’t yet gotten off the ground. We both enjoy bright and vibrant colors but fear that we may regret a bold […]

Lemon Garlic Hummus

Ok people, it’s a HEAT WAVE up in here.  My house was built in 1910 and back then New England didn’t get to 98 degrees in August so I don’t have any air conditioning beyond the window unit that we’ve installed in our bedroom.  I’m sitting here with a fan literally in my face as […]

Spicy Quick Pickled Radishes

Soon to rise with the start of a new school year.  Teachers return tomorrow for a week of professional learning in preparation for our students arrival after labor day. The start of the school year is somewhat like new […]

Zucchini and Corn Fritters

Our neighbors have the most swoon-worthy garden filled with prolific squashes, asparagus, greens, corn, cucumber, and of course zucchini! Apparently they aren’t big cooks and asked if we’d be interested in any veggies. Without hesitation I emphatically exclaimed that I’d take anything they didn’t want and promptly received the largest zucchini I’ve seen in some […]

Fundito

Happy Fiesta Friday everyone!  The time has come, and I am beyond excited to co-host this blogging ‘partay’ with the addition of this yummy dip that I made with my gals at a girls day earlier this week.  Who’s gonna join me? For those of you who might be new to the blog I am […]

Shrimp Summer Rolls

Today I am back at work after the most spectacular bachelorette party on Martha’s Vineyard. One of my best friends, Carolyn, is someone who is driven, passionate, and most importantly she knows how to get down on the dance floor.  She goes out of her way for those that she loves and it was no […]

Summer Salsa

I must say, having a 4th of July birthday is a pretty special treat.   Growing up one of my favorite birthday traditions was competing with my friends in an obstacle course we created around our house.  One at a time each of my friends would enter the circuit of elements from skip it, to […]
