Sometimes I like a good stir fry. We made a delicious Orange Beef and Broccoli recipe the other night and it came out great so I thought I would share. We very loosely based our recipe on what I have below, but also added water chestnuts for a crispy bite and served over brown rice.Continue reading “Orange Beef and Broccoli”

My husband and I love mussels. It’s our go-to appetizer whenever we’re out to dinner. When we honeymooned in France, one of our favorite meals was at a “Moules-Frites” restaurant where we dined on mussels and french fries while sitting outside on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. When we’re not a restaurant (or in France forContinue reading “Mussels”

With the summer weather this past week, we got back into grilling already. One particularly warm night last week we were looking for a light grilled meal and just simply marinated shrimp, red peppers, zucchini, and onions in a lemon pepper marinade, grilled, and served with ciabatta bread. Delicious – can’t wait til summer andContinue reading “Grilled Dinner”

When my husband and I were first “officially” living together, we found this recipe one Sunday morning in the Boston Globe food section, tore it out, and have made these numerous times since. I thought it was about time I share with you! They are so yummy, especially with the sweet glaze on top, perfectContinue reading “Cinnamon Raisin Scones”

It happened again…we made a little dessert this past weekend. We had 1 leftover apple and my husband was like “let’s turn it into dessert!” So after a recipe hunt, we decided on making this caramel apple bread pudding. This recipe was just to die for and so easy to put together. Instead of usingContinue reading “Caramel Apple Bread Pudding”

One of my favorite dinner side dishes to make is Roasted Roots. It’s so simple, delicious, and satisfying. My dad came up with this “recipe” years ago and when I first moved in with my hubby and we started cooking together I asked my dad how to make it. His answer was simple: “Cut upContinue reading “Roasted Roots”

Who doesn’t love tomato soup? There is no better match to a grilled cheese sandwich! We made Gwyneth’s tomato soup a few weeks ago and it was delish. You slow roast tomatoes ahead of time and then add them to the soup at the end so the soup ends up being a little bit chunky,Continue reading “Tomato Soup”

Taco night is a universally loved meal for dinner, wouldn’t you agree? So on a recent ski trip long weekend when we were trying to think of something to make for a group dinner, we thought – tacos! But, instead of the typical “seasoning pack mixed with ground beef,” we decided to make beef barbacoaContinue reading “Taco Night”

I love meatballs. Spaghetti and meatballs, however basic, is one of my favorite meals. That said, I am always looking for new recipes to make that involve meatballs so we’re not always eating spaghetti. This past Sunday evening, we wanted to make a stew for dinner and couldn’t think of what stew we wanted. So,Continue reading “Meatball Stew”

So by now we’ve all heard of Sprinkles Cupcakes, they are really the most delicious cupcake bakery, really led the charge in the cupcake fad, and even deem themselves “The Original Cupcake Bakery.” We don’t have any bakery locations (yet) here in the Boston area (to vote for Boston as their next location, click here),Continue reading “Breaking News – Cupcake ATM”
