We love to head down to Providence to the zoo, so I was excited when my friend Ziggy suggested meeting at Knead Doughnuts for a little snack before the day started. I met Ziggy when I was working in PR downtown. He’s one of those people that you feel lucky to know – a kind […]

After eating lunch over at West Street Tavern, we went back around the corner to check out a bakery I had passed on the drive in. It appeared to be a new spot, but we found out when we went in, that they have been open for about a year. Still new to us! We […]

December 17, 2015 Clear Flour Bread

Long story short, my car got a flat tire and I had to wait 2 hours to get it fixed. Instead of sitting in the Sullivan Tire waiting area watching horrible daytime tv, I decided to take a walk down to Clear Flour Bread. Located at the edge of a residential neighborhood, this tiny shop […]

December 2, 2015 Praline

My friend Leah spoils me. When we got together recently, she brought me some sweet treats from Praline. This treat is a religieuse a la vanille and it was truly a religious experience. It was light and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet, crisp and yet so smooth. While I generally don’t get chocolate desserts, […]
