November 19, 2013 Wicked Good Cupcakes

I haven’t watched Shark Tank, but mother daughter pair Tracey Noonan and Danielle Desroches appeared on the show in 2013. They partnered with Kevin O’leary of O’leary Ventures and opened up two retail locations, one right in Faneuil Hall. I just happened upon them while walking the mall, and I’m glad I did. The idea […]

November 4, 2013 Cookie Sandwich Company

We decided that for our wedding we would do cookies and milk. We have been to countless weddings that give favors that we end up tossing at the end of the night – in my book, food is always the way to go. Plus, after dancing up a storm, your guests are going to go […]

While most everyone else in Boston was heading down to the Red Sox Parade, we headed over to Olives and Grace to attend the Moochie’s Macarons tasting. I had been over to Olives and Grace earlier in the week with a Macaron craving – Sofi was out of them, but mentioned that there was a […]

We are familiar with Max Brenner, we went on one of our trips to NY. This is our first trip to the location in Boston, even though they opened a few years ago. We went for a late night dessert – it was a nice night so we sat out on the patio – great […]

October 29, 2013 Cafe de Boston

After seeing an article in the BBJ about cronuts coming to Boston, of course we had to see what the fuss was about. When we went the first day, they didn’t have any – so we decide to get lunch instead. There are so many options here, a hot food bar, sandwiches, a salad bar etc. […]

Find the Cookie Monstah truck around town and try them out, you won’t be sorry.  This time I had the Peanut Squared: creamy peanut butter cookies with peanut butter ice cream from Richardson’s. The cookies are ENORMOUS and they […]
