The bf and I went furniture shopping yesterday to try to find small pieces for the new apartment. We hit up Bob’s Discount furniture, which had a few choices but they just looked cheap, followed by Boston Interiors, which I of course found a couch I liked, but it was way too expensive. But then […]
Skinnylicious Menu at the Cheesecake Factory
Usually when I think of the Cheesecake Factory, I day dream about calorie laden appetizers like fried macaroni and cheese bites, creative burgers that equal a day’s worth of calories, humongous pasta portions, mountains of salad, and cheesy pizzas, followed by what else? Cheesecake, available in every flavor imaginable. But when I went last night […]
Worthwhile reads from the web this week
This week (4/23rd) has been pretty productive. I picked up my keys for the new pad and went and checked it out, only to find it is not exactly move-in ready. I am talking outlets without covers, a random broken lamp in the bedroom on the floor, and a dirty bathroom. But it is not […]

Q&A with author and creator of the original No Pudge! Brownies Lindsay Frucci
Last month, I wrote a blog post about the book I was reading The Pig & Me: A Memoir, by Lindsay Frucci, the “Chief Cook and Bottle Washer” of No Pudge! Foods. I am sure you all have heard of her product or seen it on shelves in your local grocery store. Her brownie mixes […]
Not Too Garlicky Gazpacho Recipe
My best friend Whitney and I took a trip to Spain with her sister Liz a few years back and one of things I remember most about the trip is the food. We sipped mojitos and sangria and noshed on tapas, paella, and especially gazpacho. When Whit and I first moved to Boston, we decided […]
Sunday Bloody Sunday at Scollay Square
I know it is Friday but I have Sunday on my mind. I took a trip to Scollay Square a couple of Sunday’s ago to check out their beloved Bloody Mary bar, to do research for an upcoming CBS article. Hey, it’s a tough job but somebody has got to do it! It’s located on […]
Worthwhile reads from the web this week
It was a short work week to celebrate Patriot’s Day and the Boston Marathon (week of April 16th). The weather was almost 90 degrees and the runners (Yay Shannon!) braved the heat Monday to cross the finish line, while thousands of spectators cheered them on in Boston and beyond. I went to Rattlesnake before meeting […]
