Celebratory Treats: Birthday Cake Rice Cereal Bars

We’re a couple of days removed from my birthday, but I’m still feeling the love as more beautiful messages come in, more cards arrive at my apartment, and more big shows/concerts and tours by some of my favorite artists are announced for later on this year. It feels like my party is still ongoing and […]

Game Day Eats: Air Fryer Salt and Vinegar Wings

Sure, the Patriots are out following an embarrassingly bad season, and yes- Coach Bill Belichick only just yesterday announced he’s leaving his longtime position here in New England- but that doesn’t mean I can’t smile through the pain and still enjoy the last few weeks of the 2023/2024 NFL season as we get closer and […]

Festive Foodie: Chocolate-Covered Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

As I continue my holiday shopping and sort out my schedule when it comes to upcoming parties and get-togethers with friends and family (my planner is so full of stuff!)

While scones sometimes get a bad […]

I’m still on the prowl for local pumpkin patches, Halloween events and spooky landmarks to visit while I’m here for the next few weeks. You can take the girl […]

Fall Foodie: Mini Pumpkin Muffins

When it comes to breakfast choices, I’m a fan of more savory options than sweet ones. That’s not to say I won’t indulge in some sugar and syrup-topped pancakes or French Toast now and then, but I typically lean towards an omelette, bacon and vegetables as my go-to. I’ve always said “I have to be […]

Fall Foodie: Sweet Potato Gnocchi in Herbed White Wine Sauce

Happy September, everyone! Sure, it’s still 86 degrees outside and yeah, there’s like four tropical storms brewing out in the Atlantic as I type this- but September 1st has always been (and will forever be) the start of the season for me and many other Autumnal Enthusiasts I know. I figured what better way to […]
