November 8, 2018 Washashore Bakery

I hadn’t been to Mashpee Commons in a while, and was excited to see that the space where we used to get sandwiches has turned into Washashore Bakery. They have the cutest little desserts that taste good too. We picked up a few teats to bring home for dessert – the lemon tart was just […]

I saw some posts about how The Dapper Doughnut that was opening in the Natick Collection. Such a cute idea and nice to have something new in suburbia! I had to figure out where they were, and it turns out they are in the food court upstairs in the mall near Sears – as far […]

March 1, 2018 Key Lime Pie

Lately I’ve been a home-body. I’ve been cooking up big batch meals so I don’t have to cook every night, and to be honest, we have been eating out a lot too – I’m just tired by the end of the day, aren’t you? In my head, winter should be over – I mean, we […]

February 23, 2018 Crown Bakery

A lot of memories from my childhood are around food. On the weekends I would look forward to going to Eagerman’s Bakery on Route 9 in Natick.  My dad would get his danish and he would get me a half pound of their delicious butter cookies (I only liked the ones with Jimmy’s – because […]

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 […]
