A late afternoon business meeting left my mind racing with ideas.  Lots of excitement and things to do!  So when I walked into the grocery store to buy dinner, I was expecting a struggle.  I had bigger and better things on my mind than trying to decide what to cook for the evening meal. I [...]

Happy Halloween 2010! We started celebrating on Saturday night, Halloween Eve.  I dressed as an 80s Prom Queen and Jared was a Scarecrow. Pumpkins protesting?!? We headed to the Cambridge Brewing Company for their Great Pumpkin Festival.  32 pumpkin ales on tap!  (In Chik-fil-A style, the pumpkins were protesting all of the gourd consumption.) There [...]

Today I chowed down like I was at an Italian feast.  Pizza, pasta, red sauce… I had 2 slices of apple banana bread for breakfast.  Maybe not Italian, but I have one loaf left and it needs to be eaten. What’s up now?!?!  Since I was stuck inside studying nutrition, I decided to do a [...]

Our steins were cleaned and ready to be filled with beer. Hurray for Steinfest II!!! Jared called the party Steinfest II: All Saint’s Day, copying the tagline from Boondock Saints II.  The original Steinfest was such a success that we were a little bit nervous that we wouldn’t be able to live up to last [...]

You may not believe what I’m about to say. But I swear it’s true. I created my own recipe for dinner tonight! Ok, so it may not be culinary genius.  Ok, so maybe it’s been done before and I just hadn’t heard of it.  But when I was in the grocery store grabbing ingredients, it [...]

I wasn’t really excited to blog about my meals yesterday.  I guess that happens when you’re eating leftovers over and over again.  Boring, blah! The same food for the 4th time in a week.  My Stuffed Acorn Squash tasted good the first 3 times I ate it.  I love fresh fall apples, but I’m dying [...]

While we were out and about, running errands and buying dog food, Jared was inspired.  He wanted to make meatballs for dinner. I bowed out, claiming Wednesday’s cut on my finger was still too gross to do any real cooking.  Jared was really looking forward to a pasta dinner so he volunteered to do all [...]

Last year I created my own recipe for Baked Stuffed Acorn Squash.  I decided that today was the day to recreate the recipe! I opened my can of pumpkin during the afternoon hours and borrowed a little bit for a lunchtime smoothie. 4 ice cubes 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin 1 cup of applesauce 1 [...]

I had a great day off from work: spin class, a few hours reading on the couch, purchased my Half Marathon race outfit, and made dinner plans with my best friends. Jared and I went to Henrietta’s Table with Matt and Natalie to celebrate beginning the “best and rest of our lives.”  Well, at least [...]

Last night Jared and I took a Spirit of Boston for Gordon’s Fine Wines and Liquors VinoVoyage. It was still warm out when we left for VinoVoyage, but I knew it would be cool and windy out on the water.  Layers!  A short sleeve blouse covered by a long drapey sweater.  And comfortable shoes because [...]
