I feel like I hit the muffin jackpot last time I experimented and posted these. The secret ingredient was ricotta, and they made the moistest, melt-in-your-mouth muffins I had ever tasted. These are ...
I am happy to see August go. There were so many ups and downs... The sale on our house (& plan to move into a new one) which we lost when our buyer backed out. A week spent at the beach! The baby...
Thank you all for your favorite soup recipes. I cant wait to give them a try when the weather cools down a bit! As for the the (randomly selected) winner of the Better Than Bouillon contest... congra...
The heat wave has finally blown through Mass, and just in time because even turning on my oven wasnt even an option for a few days. So, curry? That was out of the question! But, I really enjoyed the ...
I am happy to say, I have found my way back to the kitchen these past few weeks. At first I dipped my toes in lightly with tried and true favorites—beet salad, a favorite flat bread, zucchini e...
I could spend years in the kitchen, measuring and mixing, but would never come this close to perfection... Cole Neil | 05.23.11 | 11:39 a.m. | 7 lbs., 2 oz. | 19.75"{and already eating up a storm}
There is something about this colorful green tart that just makes me smile. It is so fresh and simple—and to be honest, I am all about simple these days. In fact, this is more of a DIY recipe t...
An interesting trend has developed in my kitchen the past few months. On Sunday mornings, I find myself awake early with a quiet house. The sun begins to shine in the side door, making the kitchen a ...
I have been on such an egg kick recently. Eggs for breakfast, eggs for lunch, eggs for dinner. Scrambled eggs, hardboiled eggs, frittatas. My go-to favorite is one my father used to make for me. It i...
There are quite a few holidays I can ignore, but with a name like Erin, St. Pattys Day is not one of them! My plans this year do not include green beer, cabbage, or even wearing green—but inste...
The weeks have been floating by in the most wonderful way possible. I feel the tug of spring with temperatures skyrocketing to 40 degrees. I can finally see peeks of grass (brown grass, but still&hel...
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! My day was busy, but I was able to enjoy the most delicious meal with my husband last night, and I wanted to share it with you today. I have real...
It is January and there is no doubt in Massachusetts that we are in the middle of a deep freeze. Temperature this week is "Arctic Cold", we have already surpassed our average year snow total,...
If there were ever a day for soup, this is it. There is currently 19" of snow outside my door, and it is still falling! My husband is away, and I know I am going to have to at least tackle the wa...
Happy New Year! I hope you have not yet begun your 2011 resolution of "eating healthy", because I have some cheesy goodness for you today. Fried and crunchy on the outside, the inside remains...
I remember sitting down one year ago and thinking about what the last year of my 20s would hold. I had big plans for 2010 and I had an overwhelming feeling that it would be a year of happiness. There...
I hope you all had a wonderful and delicious week. After a few months of not-so-much cooking, I was a busy bee in the kitchen this past weekend. First up was a Thanksgiving feast at my parents. My mo...
I love how a taste or scent can magically transport you to another time and place. Thumbprint cookies do just that, taking me back 20 years, to my friend’s kitchen, which was always a perfect p...
All this week, I have been thinking about pears. Craving, even. Which is odd, since I can’t say I’ve really given pears a second glance in the past. My loyalties lie with berries or juicy...
Happy November! The lovely folks over at RealSimple.com, have asked me to share one of my favorite holiday recipes for their blog Simply Stated. I am honored to kick off their month of must-have Than...
About a month back, I wasn’t feeling well, so called in sick and spent the day curled up on the couch with an extremely happy yorkie. As it turns out, daytime television seems to induce nausea ...
Last year Tommy and I went on the most wonderful day trip right in the heart of fall. I had planned a day so we could explore New England in all its fall glory—pumpkin pancakes at a well-loved ...
In my house (and many of yours I would suspect as well) the move from summer to fall brings significant changes to my lifestyle. Instead of spending my weekends at the beach, working on a tan and let...
With less than 4 hours of summer left, I am thinking "End-Of-Summer Corn Chowder" might be a bit of a stretch. Apparently I am holding on tight until the bitter end. Really, Im not really a s...
It is a good thing carrots last so long in the fridge, because I routinely pass them by in favor of more thrilling vegetable like tomatoes or corn. I was stockpiling these things for weeks and weeks ...
I remember the first time I roasted peppers. It was almost four years ago to the day—a few weeks after our wedding, at the dinner Tommy and I planned to thank our families for all their help. I...
My windowsill has been working hard this summer. It has the prestigious duty of housing pots of herbs, being a catchall for sunglasses or keys and most recently, keeping my precious tomatoes off the ...
I was overjoyed to hear from Rochelle last week, asking me to collaborate with the Harvard Farmer’s Market again this year, in providing weekly recipes for the Market Basket column in the Harva...
Four years ago, my mother and I took a Thai food cooking class at a local night school. We left armed with a stack of printouts, a general knowledge of Thai ingredients and most important (at least t...
The red smears on my hand towels do not lie—it is cherry season. In the past two weeks, I have pitted cherry after cherry, in desperate attempt for a worthy cherry treat. Round one was the cher...
