With Thanksgiving (and many Friendsgivings!) fast approaching, maybe even a little faster than I’m ready for, I knew I wanted to contribute something that was not only delicious for everyone- but also wouldn’t take a whole day to prepare or cost a fortune for the ingredients.

Cookout Classics: Grilled Shrimp and Steak Surf n’ Turf

To say that the weather here in New England throughout the month of July (so far) has been unpredictable and not particularly ideal would be a understatement.

Summer Sweets: Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas

Happy First (Official!) Day of Summer, everyone! Even though the forecast for the next week or so is calling for plenty of rain and more than a few scattered thunderstorms where I live- today is shaping up to be nice, warm and very sunny. It’s a fitting way to kick off the season- and I […]
