It ain’t easy being a food blogger. The fact is; you have to create the recipe, shop for it, cook it, eat it (obviously the easy part), photograph it and write about it. It’s exhausting! BUT I miss writing and creating so I’ve devised a plan for 2016 that I hope to not only get…
In 1999, Aaron Brochu, a former scup fisherman in New Bedford, acquired an agricultural grant to start an oyster farm in Dennis. After a visit to Cape Cod, Aaron decided he wanted to try his hand at this type of fishing. Boom. Big Rock Oyster was born…and thank goodness! Raise your hand if you love…
Not too long ago I drank the last bit of Patron Silver I had and rid my house forever of big house tequila. However, there’s always tequila in my house, so I bought a bottle of really delicious anejo tequila made by a company called Kah. The tequila is delicious and normally I wouldn’t cook…
Back in the day, there was a restaurant called Gargoyles in Davis Square. I frequented there because two of my good friends were friends with the chef and best buddies with pretty much the whole staff! So it was always amazing service. But the real reason to go there was the hoisin duck confit. It…

Ever heard of a Thai P.A.? Yeah, me neither…until I asked Jim O’Neil of Blue Hills Brewery what funky things are happening in their special brews.

I don’t know how a city becomes part of your soul. I’m not even sure I ever knew that could happen. But at 7:30pm on Monday night at the finish line, I saw a firefighter finish his race with his team of colleagues running with him, cheering him to the finish, and I knew I…
It’s been a really long time since I blogged a company that I’m interested in rather than my own cooking. Usually I blog for the Local Food Festival in Boston and get connected with great food businesses that I can get behind. But A couple weekends ago, while perusing the indoor farmers’ market, I ran…
In the last few months I have done some pretty regularly creative cooking. Fortunately or unfortunately that means I haven’t been able to post the homemade BBQ sauce that I’ve been advertising on Instagram! But good things come to those who wait, and today my dears, you get BBQ sauce! This is totally my go…
This week my friend Annie mentioned that she was going to cook dinner for her boyfriend and was asking for dinner ideas.
