September 3, 2019 Caramel Pairings with McCrea’s

Disclosure: I was sent a sample product for review. As always, all opinions are my own. I always love a good flight: beer, ice cream, you name it – I’m in. This way, you get to sample a little bit of everything and pick your favorites. Honestly, I had never even thought about a caramel […]

December 18, 2018 Miam Miam

I can’t even begin to tell you how long this post has been sitting in my drafts, but I’m just finally getting to it. I was first introduced to Miam Miam Macaronerie a while back and stopped by their shop (before they moved to Quincy) while I was in the area. So what are their […]

June 5, 2018 Father’s Day Gift Guide

Father’s Day is just around the corner, so I’ve put together a few fun baskets in this gift guide. Sure you can go with grill tools and hot sauces, but I thought I’d give a different spin on things. For Mother’s Day, everyone talks about breakfast in bed. Me personally, I don’t want to eat […]

December 24, 2017 Judging the Gingerbread House Competition

Every year it is such a fun treat for the family to get to go to the Boston Christmas Festival and judge the gingerbread house competition. This was our second year judging the competition but we have been going to the festival for over a decade now. Nothing says holiday season to me like gingerbread […]

December 23, 2017 Amaro dell’Etna

The holidays have me thinking about drinking. And not the “ugh the Jones’ are coming over” drinking, more like the festive and fun drinking that happens at holiday get-togethers. A while back I was treated to an evening out at Bar Mezzana to sample Amaro dell’Etna, a traditional Italian liqueur. The herbal liqueur is a […]
