I shared details about x-mas eve eve, Christmas Eve – Feast of the Seven Fishes, and next up is the finale of the festivities: Christmas day dinner. After two nights straight of larger parties, Christmas day ended up shrinking down to just the bf and me and his parents. As usual, the bf’s mom had […]
Three days of Christmas fun has come to a close! The bf and I headed north of Boston for a x-mas eve eve party Sunday at his bro and wife’s house. Great times including food, drinks, plenty of babies, and the annual Yankee swap. On the menu? Buffalo chicken and artichoke dips, followed by ham, […]
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! I went to the bf’s last night to celebrate Christmas Eve – Italian style, with the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

I haven’t done a round-up of my eats from last week in two weeks! I am going to save all the exciting and tasty food I had at the PGA National Resort this past weekend for its own post, but up until that I had a few meals to share at home and around town […]
Here are my worthwhile reads from the web from last week 12/10: 10 Hearty Soups from www.lifescript.com are perfect for cold temperatures ahead. I especially want to make the Pasta & Bean Soup which seems easy, healthy, and most importantly cheap to make! Speaking of soup, Eat Yourself Skinny’s Olive Garden Inspired Minestrone Soup sounds […]
