Boston Organics: April 20

A few weeks ago, I started our Boston Organics deliveries back up. We only get the smallest box every other week, but I love cooking with my organic food, especially now that I’m on break for a few weeks. I’ve been working on updating my No-List and really making this box work for us.  Inspired [...]

Spiced Sweet Potato Loaf

I have been on a loaf baking kick lately.  Loaves are less fussy than cookies or cakes and you can totally get away with eating a slice for breakfast.  Goodness knows I am always looking for a quick breakfast before I head out the door. Last week I made a rich banana bread (with added [...]

Quick Meals

Here are two quick dinners I made this week that I feel really good about: Monday: Chicken marsala, spaghetti squash, and parmesan herb green beans.  The spaghetti squash was so delicious, especially when I tossed it with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper and parmesan.  It’s slightly sweet and very filling.  I definitely [...]

Happy Belated Birthday Mr. B

A few weeks ago, it was Mr. B’s birthday, and it was quite chocolate filled!  I took him out to Max Brenner for dinner fondue.  Plus there were those decadent leftover truffles I made him for Valentine’s Day.  And then, that weekend, there was his cake. I decided on a Chocolate Kahlua Cake that combined [...]

I decided to look to technology for some inspiration. After all, the Weight Watchers app worked for me for [...]

Raclette Party 2

This year, I made a resolution to invite friends over more, so last weekend I invited two couples over to try out my new raclette grill.  We had chicken, steak, sausage, veggies, and many kinds of cheese for the grill, plus a bunch of different sauces for dipping and topping.  The steak and bleu cheese [...]

Day 6: California

Today I had a lovely lunch with my oldest friend, Nicole.  By that description I mean that I’ve known her since I was a baby, not that she’s particularly old.  (She is two days older than me.)  It’s always so nice to catch up on life with her.  I feel that the people who know [...]
