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

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

Laura and I started the morning at the Somerville Winter Farmer’s Market for some fresh ingredients. The market had live music and tons of great vendors. It was a [...]
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 [...]
