Happy Memorial Day, Friends. We just got back from a bit of a whirlwind trip to NYC and Philadelphia! My daughter, Chelsea Rose graduated from college!  And we couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments!   The fam. We enjoyed 2 graduation ceremonies, lots of great food in the city (as always!) and even tried […]

Happy Saturday!  I don’t know about you but this week was super busy.  I am looking forward to this gorgeous sunny day in New England. Russ and I got in a GREAT run this morning and of course, Lucy, our crazy chocolate lab joined us-’cause dogs need exercise too! 🙂 Here’s Lucy taking in some […]

With my recent peanut butter give-a-way, I can’t get peanut-y treats out of my mind. So…I whipped up some flourless peanut butter cookies today and threw in some roughly chopped peanuts fresh from the shell…and some 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips.  Woooooo….Yes!

I thought I would experiment with a little gluten free baking since we are stuck inside with the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. On the menu…homemade graham crackers. Graham crackers are one of my most favorite comfort foods. I just love ’em. I was inspired by one of my colleagues, The Spicy RD who posted a […]

Well…Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful week.  My week was extremely busy.  My mom fell last Friday and ended up in the hospital.  She is recovering beautifully, thankfully.  She is an 87 years old, mother of nine and is extremely resilient.  But needless to say, it was a tough week for me.
