{You Pick Six} An Interview with News Anchor: Maria Stephanos
Early in 2016, Maria Stephanos joined WCVB as their evening news anchor. My mom and I were talking about Maria and both mentioned that we love her laugh. It’s contagious and lights you up! We adore her! Then a few months ago, my mom and I were talking about my interview series. Out of the blue, […]
Self-care With Virtual Therapy Dogs On Instagram
How are you doing? I mean really. I’ve been feeling stressed. Yoga and meditation help, but sometimes they’re not enough. Between the humanitarian crisis unfolding before our eyes in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, the wildfires in California, Trump’s constant online and offline bullying, ignorance and cruelty, and the recent news of Harvey Weinstein’s […]

Dîner en Blanc Boston 2017
Today is the last day of summer, so it seems like perfect timing to write about a big event that capped off the summer season — Dîner en Blanc , which is French for dinner in white. I wrote about this event back in 2015, but had never attended it. If you’re not familiar with […]
Boston Total Solar Eclipse History From 1932
Are you excited about the total solar eclipse today? I am! Unfortunately I don’t have glasses, but I’m hoping to enjoy the event anyway. Also, today I learned that my family has eclipse history. Who knew? My aunt found a clipping from her aunt’s scrapbook with a portion of a poem called “The Total Eclipse […]

2-Ingredient Banana Pancake Experiment
This past week, I saw a recipe on The Kitchn for 2-ingredient banana pancakes. It looked like a good idea for a quick high energy breakfast that might taste incredibly good. So this morning I decided to try it. While the recipe is technically just two ingredients, there are several other ingredients mentioned as optional […]
Lunch at VERTS Mediterranean Grill in Copley Square
This was my lunch today! I had a chicken quinoa bowl from VERTS Mediterranean Grill. It was quite good and I have some leftovers for lunch tomorrow too. I took my food to go and brought it back to my office, but took the picture while I was still in the restaurant. While I didn’t […]
Gimme Lean Veggie Sausage vs MorningStar Farms Sausage Patties
My go to product for veggie sausage, veggie burgers and other veggie based foods is usually MorningStar Farms. I’ve tried so many different veggie products and always come back to them. But I like mixing things up a bit sometimes and trying new products. I noticed Gimme Lean Veggie Sausage on sale this past […]
Blueberries Make The Cake
It’s July, so if you’re on Instagram, you may be noticing that everyone’s feed is filled with blueberries. Whether you picked them yourself, found them at a farmers market, or bought them at the grocery store, ’tis the season. My favorite cakes during the summer are simple single layer cakes. They aren’t too sweet. They […]
