26/04/11 Double Dutch

I posted a while ago about these brownies from Tader Joe’s that Katie had recommended to me. She also told me about these chocolate muffins from Stop and Shop. Normally I would pass up this section at the market-I’m a bakery snob. But Katie promised that they were worth it. Enter the “double dutch”.  A […]

25/04/11 Darryl’s Corner Kitchen

I had a little deja vous when I walked into Darryl’s Corner Kitchen. It didn’t even occur to me (until we got there) that I had been here years ago, with the same friend, when it used to be Bob the Chef’s. I had a ruelala coupon that was $40 towards food and non alcoholic […]

25/04/11 Cheeseboy

Grilled Cheese….it’s so in right now. Enter Cheeseboy-located in South Station. Made to order, using fresh ingredients.  The menu is pretty simple and straight forward, 4 choices of bread, 5 choices of cheese, and a handful of meat and veggie options. We made a special trip to South Station, just for the grilled cheese. Seats […]

25/04/11 Sabatino & Co

I was browsing Gilt City and saw a coupon, $25 for $50 worth of goods at Sabatino and Co. Before I could blink and eye, or get out my credit card, they were sold out! I decided to check out the store this past weekend-it’s located at 130 Newbury Street-they’ve been there just over a […]

19/04/11 Lumiere

We were the first ones to arrive at the restaurant when we showed up at 5:30pm on a Monday evening. The place started to get busier by the time we were served our main course. Lumiere is an upscale (but dress is business casual) restaurant located in West Newton serving fine French cuisine. The decor […]

19/04/11 Giada’s stuffed peppers

I went out last month and a friend made these for a party she was throwing. Super delicious, so simple to make. She mentioned that it was one of “Giada’s” recipes. So I immediately went home to try out a batch of my own. I couldn’t find baby peppers, so mine were a little bit […]

19/04/11 Great find at Trader Joe’s

Katie always steers me the the right direction when it comes to great buys at the supermarket-she’s the one that told me about the cheddar broccoli soup at Stop and Shop and their famous Miami rolls! Since then, she has introduced me to the sea salt brownies at Trader Joe’s. Little bite size pieces of […]

11/04/11 Cafe Fleuri-The chocolate buffet

Our friends, Phil and Sara have birthdays about a week apart. We decided that this year we would take them to the chocolate buffet at the Langham hotel since they are both wild about chocolate. Not until we met them that morning did we find out that they had already been there this year-regardless, they […]

11/04/11 Scollay Square

Scollay Square is located in Beacon Hill-near the State House, at 21 Beacon Street. The Legendary Restaurant Group also owns Max and Dylans and Papagayo, as well as Tavern on the Waterfront. It’s a small neighborhood kind of place-great for a casual bite with friends or a drink after work. The appetizers all looked great-it […]

10/04/11 Party!

I love having friends over to my house. I generally like to have brunch or light snacks-full meals sometimes are just too hard to coordinate. I love a nice cheese plate, shown above, with at least one soft cheese (in this case the house Brie from Wasiks Cheese Shop in Wellesley) and at least one […]
