December 27, 2017 Donut Rise and Rumble

There are a lot of food events out there, but not a many that let pastry chefs flex their culinary muscles. I had the opportunity earlier this year to attend the Sugar Rush event, but the Donut Rise and Rumble is the only other dessert event I have heard of. This is the fourth year […]

December 25, 2017 Happy Holidays

Holidays are about family and traditions. When I was a kid, we spent most of our holidays at my grandparents house in Newton. My grandmother was not a (good) cook, but there were a few special things that we looked forward to (and no, I’m not talking about that try colored jello mold with the […]

December 7, 2017 7Ate9 Bakery

I can’t tell you how long 7Ate9 Bakery has been on my list. Far too long. So when Leah and I were in Somerville, I made it a point to stop in. What a cute little shop. The shop serves two sizes of cakes, a 9″ that feeds about 16-20 and a 4″ size that […]

December 6, 2017 Muffin House Cafe

What do you get for your dad for his birthday when he doesn’t want or need anything? You make the trek out to Medway (yeah, I had to look up where it is too) and pick him up some of his favorite muffins at the Muffin House Cafe. Sheldon used to have a little shop […]

November 30, 2017 Blackbird Doughnuts – Fenway

I’ve been dying to try out Blackbird Doughnuts’ ice cream doughnut. One of these days I’ll get one! Until then, I settled for stopping in to their second location in Fenway and picking up some tasty treats for a hostess gift. We picked up both the raised doughnuts and the old fashioned cake donuts. What’s […]

November 27, 2017 Davis Square Donuts and Bagels

I am always on the hunt for a new breakfast spot, and especially a new bagel spot! I had been eagerly awaiting the opening of Davis Square Donuts and Bagels ever since Leah and I went to Rosebud for lunch and I saw the sign that it was coming soon. The shop has some seats […]

September 6, 2017 Blackbird Doughnuts

Blackbird Doughnuts, the popular South End spot for artisan doughnuts has come to the Fenway. We stopped there on the way out of town on Labor Day Weekend to pick up a half dozen for the ride since we were able to get an earlier jump on the road (when does that ever happen?). Anything […]

August 10, 2017 Kimball Farm – Tuesday Water Cooler

I’m always looking for fun places to take my family. Last week we went back to Kimball Farm (the first time we just had ice cream). They have four locations, Jaffrey, NH, Carlisle, Lancaster and Westford. The Westford location of Kimball Farm is the only location that has activities like mini golf, a soaring eagle […]

July 19, 2017 I Love Milkshakes

I love milkshakes recently opened in the Natick Mall. The kiosk is located in the newish part of the mall near the Apple store. I was excited about the concept – over the top milkshakes are all the rage these days – I mean, have you seen Black Tap’s photos? They have a lot of […]

July 18, 2017 Sugar Rush 2017 – Tuesday Water Cooler

Sunday night I had my favorite kind of tasting menu…a 5 course dessert tasting! I was lucky enough to be a guest at Sugar Rush 2017, the creation of Jaime Schick – the talented pastry chef that has worked at places like No. 9 Park and Deuxave. She is in her fifth year of running […]
