October 23, 2018 What’s Cooking in the Kitchen?

Every once in a while I get inspired to cook/bake. It’s rare, but it happens – mainly on party cloudy, sixty degree days – you know, the not too hot, not too cold, not raining, days – kind of like the days I went to class in college. I’m generally a baker over a cook […]

December 29, 2017 The Dinner Daily

A while back I was invited to Roche Bros. to learn about their grocery delivery service as well as a new service called The Dinner Daily. The way founder Laurin Mills describes her grocery buying habits just about fits me to a t. We do one big grocery shop – without planning what any of […]

September 8, 2017 Parmigiano Reggiano: From Wedge to Rind

If I could only eat one dish for the rest of my life, it would be pasta with Parmesan cheese. I was pumped when I was invited to the “From Wedge to Rind” event at Eataly with the Consorzio. The event was mainly cheesemongers and cheese writers. Me, I’m just a cheese lover. We were […]

With Super Bowl 51 just around the corner I thought I would do a post on easy to make snacks for the game. My friends at Willow Tree Farm sent me over some of their chicken dips to get the party started. So no matter which team you are cheering for (ahem, the Patriots), you’re […]

January 2, 2014 It’s All About the Guest

“I’ve eaten a lot of sophisticated food in my time, but I still love a good hot dog.” That’s how the book starts, in chapter 1, appropriately named “Passion”. Steve DiFillippo’s new book, It’s All About the Guest: Exceeding Expectations in Business and in Life the Davio’s Way, is a page turner. The book talks […]

April 19, 2011 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 […]
