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 […]

Hey Boston! Time To Shop Farmers Markets!
Hope you’re enjoying the start to the Memorial Day weekend! Since this is the unofficial start to summer, it’s time to start thinking about summery things. For those of us in New England, we don’t have year-round outdoor markets like those of you in different parts of the country. For us, it’s a real treat […]
I See You Boston
My current project has me working at the Pru in Boston. The view is always different and amazes me everyday. In the winter, the snow covered buildings look so different from the plain red brick. The snow adds a powdered sugar look to the rooftops. But as the seasons go by, what is normal changes. […]
Subway Stories: Singing In The Rain
Wasn’t me singing in the rain. Didn’t break out dancing Gene Kelly style either. I was more trying to stay warm and dry and hoping for sun again. But I walked by three people singing today! Just randomly singing. While I was walking to the train going to work, I passed a man who was […]
Nift: You Got Me Miffed

Halo Top Ice Cream: It’s The Real Deal
Have you tried Halo Top? It’s the low calorie ice cream that everyone is raving about. I first heard about Halo Top a few months ago and absolutely did not believe the hype. I heard that people loved it so much and that certain flavors were so hard to find that people would buy containers […]
Farm Share Fair in Somerville – Wednesday, March 29th
If you’re looking forward to eating fresh and local this season, then you might be interested in joining a CSA. There are many farms to choose from with different deadlines for payment. It can be confusing figuring it all out in time. Wouldn’t it be great if there were one place that you could go […]
One Last Sweet Taste of the Obama Era
Today was the last full day with Barack Obama as our President. I don’t have time to write all that his becoming President has meant to me. But over the years, spanning from my old blog to this one, there have been many posts. It has meant a lot. I am so grateful to have […]
