In February Josh and I traveled to Thailand. I have to admit; I was a little hesitant when Josh suggested the trip. It was something about the unknown of Southeast Asia that deterred me initially. However, I am so thankful that I didn’t let that prevent us from going. Not only is Thailand beautiful and…
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…
Anytime I get the chance to do the grocery shopping alone, I usually put a dent in the bank account. Josh and I are kind of opposites like that. He goes alone and we barely have enough food to get us through dinner. I go and we’re racking up points on the credit card! What…
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…
This week my friend Annie mentioned that she was going to cook dinner for her boyfriend and was asking for dinner ideas. I was like, “Hellooooo, I write a food blog!” She then pointed out that some of my stuff is too complicated and I totally agree. Sometimes I underestimate just how complicated some of…
About 3 months ago, I casually Instagramed some chicken nuggets that I made for dinner. Really didn’t think much of it actually. I’ve done this several times, you know, health up a chicken nugget. But to be honest, I neither grew up on nuggets, nor really cared much about them. Any instance I can remember…
I am a Whole Foods shopper for several reasons. The biggest reason is because I like good produce and getting into the best local store for produce, Market Basket, is a nightmare. If you live in Somerville, you’ve likely been stuck in the traffic on Somerville Ave. created by people going into their ridiculously large…
I cook stir fry every once in a blue moon. The reason? Because it’s quick and simple. Well, I say simple, but I don’t actually mean it. Yes, sautéing vegetables and protein is easy. However, the truth is, I think it’s extraordinarily difficult to get the sauce right. Especially if you’re not drowning it in…
Right after they postponed the Jingle Bell Run in Somerville, my work/running posse and I decided that if we couldn’t run then drink together, we’d just pot luck brunch and drink together. Easy solution to what was a total bummer in addition to the mound of wet heavy snow we received that pushed the race…
When I was poor and in college, my friend Jason and I used to go out for half price tall boy beers and half price buffalo wings liiiike every week. We could pretty much get bombed and full for 10 bucks a piece! It was pretty glorious especially in hind sight living in a state…
