November 6, 2012 Two Fat Cats Bakery
On our way up to Freeport, we stopped in Portland to grab a bite to eat. To be honest, we were trying to get into Duckfat, but the wait was 45 minutes….so we headed over to the Two Fat Cats bakery instead. I just love the name! I have to say….there is just something nice […]

November 4, 2012 Manna House
After seeing this review in the Globe, Manna House made a quick jump to the top of my “to try” list of restaurants. Manna House is located on a small side street in Arlington. We went over on a Saturday night-the place wasn’t as crowded as we thought it would be, considering how tasty the […]

October 29, 2012 Mummy Cupcakes
Making these cupcakes is a snap! I got the idea from Pinterest. Chocolate cupcakes made from a mix – follow directions on the box. The eyes came pre made, I bought them at target and then just used white icing to create the bandages. These are so easy to make and look super cute! I […]

October 28, 2012 Sweek Cheeks Q
I have been to Sweet Cheeks 3 times so far, and every time was as good as the first. Located on Boylston Street near Fenway park, this BBQ joint doesn’t disappoint. Tiffany Faison was one of the finalists on Top Chef and this is her first restaurant, which opened in the fall of 2011. Inside, […]

October 11, 2012 Mixx
After dinner at Shabu Zen, we roll over to Mixx-a self serve frozen yogurt bar. I have previously avoided it because there are never any parking spaces out front. I have to admit that self serve frozen yogurt bars, or self service anything, aren’t really a novelty to me. If I’m paying to be out, […]

October 2, 2012 Shabu Zen
I always drive by this place and it is always SUPER crowded! One Sunday evening we decide to stop in for a bite. There’s a small lot in the back for parking…because parking on the street almost never happens. After we circle the block three times we end up lucking out with a spot right […]

September 30, 2012 Crumbs
Crumbs Boston, yes, it is sad that it has taken me this long to get to you…you’ve been open for months…since March of this year! Crumbs recently opened another location in the Burlington Mall. Crumbs is known for their large sized cupcakes and inventive takes on flavors….just make sure not to look at the calorie […]

September 21, 2012 New York in June Part 2
Of course I forgot to mention that I stopped off at Magnolia Bakery on Friday afternoon, just to reaffirm that they weren’t a contender for me anymore…now that I’ve found Butter Lane. They aren’t as good as I had them hyped up in my mind, and the crazy tourists that line up around the block […]

September 17, 2012 June in New York
Back in June, I went to NY for a business pitch. We went on a Thursday, with the pitch on Friday morning. Since we were both already there, my husband and I decided to stay for the weekend. We stayed at the Hudson Hotel for business so we just decided to stay there for the […]
