February 26, 2010 Laughing Moon Chocolates (Vermont)

We stopped by here because of the good chocolates we had at the end of our meal at Solstice. What a cute shop. You could see the girls making chocolate in the back. The chocolates weren’t perfectly shaped which I think is great, shows that they were hand made! We didn’t get there at the […]

February 24, 2010 Harvest Market (Vermont)

This might be my new favorite place in Vermont. They are a great little shop that has gourmet cheese, fresh baked goods, and great specialty items. It is like Russo’s or Verrill Farms. They are a bit on the pricey side but that’s what you get when you are talking specialty items. They have organic […]

February 24, 2010 Vermont Brownie Company

Everyone knows that I’m a Food Network junkie. I had been watching a Throwdown with Bobby Flay marathon and saw the Vermont Brownie Company on it. The premise of the show is that Bobby Flay challenges people who are the best at what they do. So one week it could be brownies, another Belgium Waffles […]

February 22, 2010 Lake Champlain Chocolates (Vermont)

We stopped off at the Lake Champlain Chocolate store as we headed into the town of Stowe. It sells hot drinks, chocolate bars and pre made boxes as well as chocolates from the case. The best part is that they sell factory seconds here. They don’t look perfect but they taste just as good. The […]

February 21, 2010 Verrill Farm

In my opinion, Verrill Farm makes one of THE best apple pies I’ve ever had. I have been going to Verrill Farm for about the last 10 years. In 2008 they had a fire and I didn’t know what I was going to do for a time. They set up a temporary space where they […]

February 21, 2010 Simon Pearce (Vermont)

So if you can’t afford to buy a set of glasses, at $55 a glass, a nice alternative to shopping is lunch! Located at the Mill in Quechee, Simon Pearce offers picturesque views to it’s diners and shoppers. We arrive at 1:45pm and have a 30 minute wait. We look around, go downstairs to see […]

February 17, 2010 Whole Foods follow up

So I made a great recipe that I saw on Rachel Ray with the ricotta gnocchi from Whole Foods. I haven’t found many places that have ricotta gnocchi, which I usually prefer to its potato counterpart. I copied the recipe below. I changed the recipe slightly. I left out the onions and the wine, and […]

February 16, 2010 Whole Foods-Legacy Place

Don’t come here if you’re hungry because you’ll want to buy everything in the store!

February 14, 2010 Wasik’s Cheese Shop

I was turned onto Wasik’s from my boss. I was invited to a fancy dinner party and needed some nicer cheeses to bring than what you could find at your local supermarket. My boss told me this was the place to go. Located in Wellesley Center, it is a family run business. And when I […]

February 11, 2010 Phillip’s Candy House

So let me preface this post by saying that I don’t like boxed chocolate. You inevitably end up spending X amount of dollars for a box of chocolates and if you are lucky if you only hate 1/2 of them. But I took one for the team, or in this case the blog. Phillips is […]
