Matt’s Graduation, the Final Chapter

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!  [...]

Missin my Kitten

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 [...]

Southie Adventure

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 [...]

Bombay Club

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 [...]

Afternoon Delight

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 [...]

The Buttery’s Cupcakes

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 [...]

Sweet Swap

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 [...]

National Cupcake Day

(Image from Bakerella.com) Happy National Cupcake Day to you!!!!  Maybe I’ll celebrate by eating a cupcake and ordering something from CakeSpy. Especially tempted to order this artwork!  A meeting between my and Jared’s favorite foods!

Hello, Cupcake!

Lunch was a turkey sandwich that Jared kindly prepared while I was doing my makeup. My meeting did NOT go well.  Boooo to the Woods School.  But at least a few candy pumpkins made me feel better. I crunched on some baby carrots. I had to install Office 2007 so while my computer was hard [...]

Picture Perfect Day

Jared was in charge of making lunch while I was getting ready to go. He prepared turkey sandwiches with Wheat Thins, baby carrots, and apple slices. We walked from the South End to the waterfront. It was such a nice day. I felt bad that we were heading inside but for desserts, I made the [...]
