Every once in a while, I’ll browse around for events going on in Boston that might be of interest to me. And then I’ll see something and never wind up actually going. But when I saw an ev...
I swear, this is not some kind of a vendetta against my little check-out friend at Stop and Shop. But he really, really would not like me right now. Not only am I eating lots and lots of basil leaves...
In honor of the fact that, in 2.5 weeks, I’ll be sitting on a beach with a drink in my hand, I decided this week must end with a little tropical concoction. If you happen to be stuck at work or...
Good evening! I’ll be making this one nice and short and sweet. With less than 2.5 weeks to go before the wedding, I’ve become a crazy person. A crazy person who vowed to get enough sleep...
File this under an actual conversation that really happened in real life. Check-out boy at Stop and Shop, ringing in my new baby basil plant: Hey, I hear some people actually eat this stuff! Me: Um, ...
The main reason I’m in what can basically be described as full-on panic wedding planning mode at the moment (besides the fact that there’s a mere 3.5 weeks to go) is because I’m the...
Remember I declared last summer the summer of shrimp? Well, I think it’s on again. There’s something about summer that just screams shrimp to me. And it’s legit one of the easiest f...
When I saw this recipe from Martha Stewart, I immediately knew I’d be making it. Sure, it makes the perfect brunch. But it also makes an incredibly speedy and easy weeknight dinner. Plus, IR...
Can I just say I can’t wait to get married? Like really, really can’t wait. This weekend was packed with wedding-related activities and, while I could do without all the appointments (ser...
If I had this bowl of Mango Coconut Fried Rice in front of me right now, I’d tell you to load on the Sriracha. As in, pour a whole bottle on. Because, as Chels mentioned in her previous post (a...
If you’ve been reading We are not Martha for longer than a year, you might remember the trip Sues and I took up to Vermont last January thanks to Cabot Cheese and Ski Vermont. We stayed in a lu...
No, I’m not talking about Snapple Iced Tea. It’s Snap Iced Tea. As in Snap. Another spirit from my new favorite distillery, Art in the Age. After I wrote/raved about Root a couple weeks a...
Oh, hello. I’m back. And yes, I’m still blogging. Yes, I’m still alive. Yes, I’ve missed you, too. All answers to questions I’ve been asked over the last several weeks. ...
I’ve always been of the mindset that the more chocolate, the better, when it comes to ice cream. Give me a triple chocolate chocolate chunk ice cream and I’m happy as a duck in a puddle. ...
It’s currently the Monday after the best weekend ever. Yes, this week is going to be rough. But at least I have another potential best weekend ever up ahead. This Saturday was my wedding shower...
Is April flying by for anyone else? Because it’s already the 19th and I want to know what y’all did with the first 2.5 weeks of the month. Not that I’m complaining; I mean, I do hav...
I hope you’ll excuse me if my next couple weeks (OK, maybe 1.5 months) of recipes are a bit simpler than usual. It seems that we’ve entered that crazy busy time in wedding planning when i...
What and soda? Root and soda. Oh. Have you not heard of Root before? I hadn’t. But a few weeks ago, I was chatting with one of the ladies who works at the front desk of my apartment building an...
Question: If you have a food blog, do you find yourself almost repeating certain recipes without even realizing it? Even if you don’t have a food blog and you just cook on a regular basis, do y...
I’m pretty excited about today. Why? Instead of having a full post for you here, I’m going to tell you to head over to America’s Test Kitchen’s blog, The Feed, and check out m...
Mexican food. Eggs with runny yolks. Spiciness. Olives. Quinoa. Avocado. If I were one of the Von Trapp children, this would be my own little version of “Favorite Things.” Yes, obviously ...
Happy Grilled Cheese Month! Yup, it’s April. And if you know what’s good for you, you’ll be eating a grilled cheese every day of the month. OK, maybe that would be overdoing it (but...
Another week is coming to a close and we’ve got another Cocktail Friday on our hands. I have a feeling I don’t need to say anything more on that. Except for maybe Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh (of ...
Summer weather lasted a grand total of 2.5 days here in Boston. Seriously. Last week it was 80 degrees. This week? 30-something. My body is confused and angry. But it is only March and that 80 degree...
This weekend was the true definition of the word busy. I feel quite accomplished, but not quite relaxed. I’m still not certain why weekends aren’t 3 days long. And why, pray tell, does it...
Dear Easter Candy, Thank you for being the very best of all the holiday candies. I mean, let’s face it; there really is no holiday that comes close in terms of manufactured sweet treats. Christ...
Like I’ve mentioned about a million times before, if there was ever a year for learning new recipes and techniques, this is it. Biscuits are not new to me. They’re one of my obsessions. B...
Happy Cocktail Friday! This is going to be a quick post because a) this drink is super simple to make and b) I’ve slept about a total of 15 hours this week. Like the entire week. And while I...
So, remember the other day when I mentioned over-doing it with the eating of crackers and how it’s better that I eat too many crackers than cookies? Well, I do it with cookies, too. And while I...
I’m always on the lookout for new muffin recipes since I absolutely love having them on-hand as frequently as possible. I know how thrown off I get in the mornings if I don’t have somethi...
