April 12, 2010 Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s, you’ve been there. They aren’t new…so why am I blogging about them? Just sharing some of the things that I love at Trader Joe’s. There are many locations around the state, one of them is probably near you. I find that in all the stores that I have been to, everyone is just […]

April 10, 2010 Lyndells

Lyndell’s took over the spot where LuLu’s Bakery used to be. Located at the end of Hanover street, the bakery is small but adorable. We had gone to dinner a few weeks ago at Prezza and walked over to get a cupcake at Lyndell’s after-but they were closed. Bummer. We had seen Lyndell’s featured on […]

April 10, 2010 Sweet Cupcakes

I have been to sweet before and didn’t think that they were all that great, but I figured that I would give them a second try. The shop is located on Mass. Ave with a second location in Harvard Square. The shop is charming: a pink banquette in the window to eat cupcakes in (how […]

April 6, 2010 Magnolia Bakery (NYC)

So where did you first hear about Magnolia Bakery? I think I first heard about Magnolia on HBO’s Sex & the City. Magnolia Bakery is in every tour book, and one of ‘the’ places to go whenever you are in New York City. But you know when you go to some of these places that […]

April 6, 2010 Hotel Chocolat (for Easter)

I came in again for some Easter chocolate and this place never disappoints me. See previous blog entry. We start off with the milk praline poached eggs: 40% cocoa milk chocolate mini eggs filled with velvety smooth hazelnut praline. You bite into the chocolate outer shell to get to the smooth and creamy center. The […]

April 5, 2010 Beacon Hill Chocolates

How could you resist these truffles? Maybe you could when you see the $3.50 per piece price tag. As good as these were, I can’t make them a regular in my everyday life-so I resolve to have these only on special occasions. I bought a dozen of these for Easter at a friend’s house. Everyone […]

March 24, 2010 When Pigs Fly

Yes, you can get this bread in the market, but sometimes, isn’t it more fun to go to the company’s store? You can sample the bread there, you can’t do that at the market… When Pigs Fly is a company that started in 1993, and  is based out of Maine. They drive their breads down […]

March 4, 2010 One Girl Cookies (NY)

I was listening to the radio a little while and heard this interview Ryan Seacrest was giving with Dax Shepard. Dax said that men and women differ in how they size up the opposite sex. When a woman looks at a man and he is physically a 6, but his personality is a 10, she […]
