DIY Pearlized Summer Serving Tray
Have you ever used Mod Podge? When I was recently given the opportunity to try out Plaid Mod Podge for a post, I said yes fast. It sounded like fun, and being a total Mod Podge virgin, I was psyched to give it a try. When the overflowing package of Mod Podge arrived, I was [...]
Review: Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee at Grocery Toasted Almond and Strawberry Shortcake Coffees
It’s been a long time since I last had flavored coffees at home — or at all. Typically, I stick to a nice dark French Roast, while my husband prefers an Italian Roast or even something in the medium roast category. But once upon a time, not that long ago, I was all about the [...]
Cookies and Cream Strawberry Shortcake with Toasted Angel Food Cake
Summertime to me is strawberries — fresh, ripe strawberries that spill their juices when left to tango with sugar for awhile. Summer is simple food, served up fast with little fuss. Summer is time spent outside, enjoying the late evening sunsets, warm air and hum of grasshoppers in the distance. Oh, and most of all, [...]
Lawry’s Winner, and Another Fun Dinnertisement
My kids love making these Dinnertisements. We’ve gotten a little silly about it too — using fun photos from our adventures and monikers like “beach lovers” Have you made one yet?
Avocado, Cilantro and Lime Rice with Santa Fe Chili London Broil
Breathe in. Breathe out. That’s what I think to myself sometime when I feel like there will never be enough hours in the day for me to do everything I need and want to. But it’s okay. A little centering and a cup of coffee goes a long way, right? I think so. The Motherhood [...]
A Taste of Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato Wine
A glass of chilled, crisp white wine is always perfect at the end of a summer day. While winter is all about the warm, enveloping reds, summertime demands something lighter and easier going. Two summers ago, I was all about the vinho verde. Last summer, I went for pinot grigio. This summer’s favorite variety hasn’t [...]
Review: Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee at Grocery (& a Giveaway)
Every morning, the first thing I do is make myself a cup of coffee (okay, who am I kidding? The first thing I do is drink a cup of coffee — I don’t always make it myself). It’s my morning ritual — my way to get up and going. And honestly, most days I have [...]

Cooking Connections Class on Slow Cooking Recap
Did you tune in for the Cooking Connections class last Thursday? We talked game day food and using the slow cooker — something that is quickly becoming a favorite small appliance in my house. What I loved about the class was that host Chef George Duran prepared a recipe live via a video feed and [...]
Honey-Tart Cherry Glazed Salmon with Rustic Tart Cherry Salsa
I’m mildly obsessed with superfruits, which are basically the health super heroes of the fruit world. They provide so many valuable nutrients like antioxidants and just taste so good too. Really, I can’t get enough of pomegranates, adore blueberries and crave cranberries (which are huge here in New England). Recently, I got to try another [...]
