This week we are hanging in Nantucket.  Not a bad gig. I love this island. We left our car and our stress on the mainland.  Got some bikes, a beach blanket and pretty much that is all we need for the week. Love the old-fashioned feel of this island. Love biking in a dress, do […]

Every Tuesday has become the Scarlata family fresh fish night.  I am so proud of myself 🙂 because I know how good fish is for the body, but I have never really gravitated toward eating it. I have to say, when you can get a fresh (never frozen, off the boat) piece of fish and […]

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend! Russ, our boys and my Mom went up to New Hampshire to visit with my sister Trisha and her boyfriend Mark.  They live near a beautiful lake and we all relaxed and took it down a notch. I so…love the summertime. We ended Saturday night with a […]

Every Tuesday, I pick up my CSA farm share at Tangerini’s Farm in Millis, Massachusetts. I call Tangerini’s ‘my happy place’ and truly… it really is! Rows of vegetables growing in the sunlight, kids enjoying soft serve ice cream, chickens clucking and little farm kittens running a muck! And the sunflowers are amazing! Every Tuesday, […]

I hope your week is off to a good start.  We started with a bit of rain this morning but the sun is shining which means I will take my furry friend Lucy for a walk shortly.  I love taking Lucy for a stroll during the day–she’s a good friend and walking buddy! Here’s she […]

Lauren Adler Dear, a very soon to be RD, provided this post for you.  Enjoy! Summer is the perfect time to get your grill on and try out some new recipes. Turkey burgers often come out dry and flavorless, but these Greek burgers are bursting with flavor! Serve them with Kate’s Simple Greek Quinoa recipe […]

It’s blueberry season.  This makes me happy.  Love bluebz.  Do you? Here’s some blueberries from one of my favorite places on earth, Tangerini’s farm. Even though we are in the midst of a heatwave, I loved plucking these fresh blueberries today to eat right away. Today I whipped up a nice refreshing salad with some […]

I can remember when I had my first child, my daughter, Chelsea Rose.  I thought 3 months ‘off from work’ was going to be like a vacation.  HA! HA!  Right?  Not so much.  I barely got in a shower! But, I always did find time to try new recipes and cook up a storm.  And […]

We took our first official vacation with our crazy but adorable chocolate lab, Lucy! Really, we planned this week’s vacation all around our dog, Lucy.   Since she is a water baby, we decided lakeside would be a good venue.  We explored lake houses that were dog-friendly.  I really should say, my 15 year old […]
