This past weekend we took the kids to Boston for a little getaway. While it didn’t go exactly as planned (a.k.a. kids do not always behave quite as you expect), we were not going to let anything stop us from stopping in at Eataly located in the Prudential Center on Boylston Street. Oh my gosh […]

Molasses Bread
When I was a little girl we always had a bottle of molasses in our kitchen cupboard. It is my very first memory of seeing a food product. To the right of our stove in the upper cabinets the little glass bottle with the rabbit on it seemed like it was always there. I even […]
Basil Lime Cocktails with Tito’s Handmade Vodka
When we go to Boston we love to stay in Back Bay. One of our favorite places to grab a drink is Via Matta. They make the best, and we mean THE BEST, basil lime gimlet ever. It is refreshing and summery and the basil actually adds this incredible savory flavor that balances out the […]
Batch Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Every now and then our local market surprises us. We were in search of ice cream sandwiches for the kids the other day and instead found a very artsy pint of salted caramel ice cream from batch out of Boston. We knew we would love it just from the container. When we saw it was […]
Radius Boston
So when we found out that we would both be on vacation during Boston’s Restaurant Week we were pretty thrilled. We spent a good week perusing the various dinner menus and then reading reviews from previous diners. Perhaps we should have been a little quicker in our decision making as getting in to some […]

Mike & Patty’s Bay Village, Boston
We had driven into Boston for Restaurant Week (blog to follow)…and along the way found this eclectic and tiny breakfast spot in Bay Village. We should say that we did a ton of Googling to find the perfect breakfast spot. We were staying in Back Bay and wanted something close by so we could […]
Hotel Chocolat…all the way from England
I had no idea that my mother-in-law was a chocolate connoisseur. When my husband returned home from his latest trip to England he handed me a very large box of chocolates sent from his mother. Well actually, he handed me the chocolates and then a couple of hours later said “hmmmm…maybe we should try […]
