It’s no secret that I love cupcakes.  I shout it from the rooftops.  I like to eat cupcakes.  Wear items that feature cupcakes.  Smell like cupcakes. But did you know that my all time favorite cupcake location is Magnolia Bakery?  I have been to the original Bleeker Street location multiple times while visiting NYC. Since [...]

Congratulations Jenna!  She’s going to be a beautiful bride!

Bridal Shower lunch buffet.  So much delicious food! Jenna had lots of help opening presents.  [...]

On Thursday night, I attended Meghan and Michelle‘s wine tasting event at Boston Wine Exchange. Complete with cupcakes, Cabot cheese, wine, and bloggers, I think the event was a definite success! We sampled 8 wines, 4 whites and 4 reds.  I liked everything that I tried, but had some definite favorites that needed to come [...]

Wanna talk about an amazing coincidence?!?! My brother’s apartment is right in front of a coffee shop called The Cupcake Lab! While the rest of the family was helping Matt move out, I snuck inside the Cupcake Lab for a snack. I ordered a mini Coconut Cupcake and Jared sampled a mini vanilla cupcake.  Mmm!  [...]

When I was 6 years old, my parents bought 2 kittens for my brother and me.  I named mine Mittens and his was Kitty.  Mittens passed away in 2003 but Kitty kept on trucking. Yesterday Kitty passed away.  She was OLD, she lived 20 great years, and it was her time.  But it’s still sad [...]

Saturday was such a nice day that we decided to venture over the bridge into South Boston to spend the day with friends. It was so relaxing to sit on Matt and Natalie‘s deck and sip on a glass of wine. We walked to the beach and Matt decided to fly his kite.  The ocean [...]

Camel made of pantyhose.  Boston is so artsy! After the 5K, Becky and I met up with Julie.  The 3 of us went to the Sports and Fitness Expo.  I liked walking around for the 2nd time, grabbing more free samples and people watching. I spotted Ali from the Biggest Loser, signing books and posing [...]

This was what my pasta salad looked like when I prepared it while I was making dinner last night. This was what it looked like when I ate lunch this afternoon.  All blended together and not as pretty. Plus the colorful vegetables were covered by pieces of chicken.  This salad contained rotini, chicken, cucumbers, green [...]

Yesterday I was a little bit sad to eat the last of my Food Should Taste Good yellow corn chips. But happy to try a new sandwich for lunch:  Homemade veggie cream cheese, green peppers, and lettuce on wheat bread.  I really liked it! Instead of taking a lunch break during the day, I worked [...]

I made waffles for breakfast. Topped with almond butter and cranberry apple butter. Here are the Dark Chocolate Pumpkin cookies that I baked last night.  I used Ali’s recipe she posted on Food Fitness Fashion.  They are delicious and I can’t wait for my coworkers to try them at our party on Thursday I found [...]
