Every once in a while I get inspired to cook/bake. It’s rare, but it happens – mainly on party cloudy, sixty degree days – you know, the not too hot, not too cold, not raining, days – kind of like the days I went to class in college. I’m generally a baker over a cook […]

While Leah and I were in the kitchen making the risotto that was on the blog yesterday, we also made Thanksgiving croutons with Bell’s Seasoning. Does this fit into my every day lifestyle, not really, but Leah said it was so easy. I played along, and yes, it did end up being very easy (if […]

I feel like the holidays are just sneaking up on me. I needed to start thinking about Thanksgiving like…. three months ago, and am just getting started, talk about cutting it close. Good thing I have Leah from Boston City Living. We got together and made some really simple holiday recipes – which I need […]
