apple-cranberry-walnut-salad-with-balsamic-vinaigrette

Whether you’re looking for a quick autumn inspired meal, or are trying to figure out what to do with the bags of apples in your fridge from this year’s trip to the orchard, this Apple Walnut Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette is a must-try recipe. Made with a few staple ingredients (and yes, in my house feta cheese IS a staple), this salad is paired with a deliciously tangy sweet homemade dressing and is on heavy rotation in my weekly menu planning. It’s basically fall in a bowl. Bon appétit! INGREDIENTS8 cups lettuce (I…

DINNER WITH DINING PLAYBOOK

Last week, I had the pleasure of joining Emmy Award-winning Billy Costa and Jenny Johnson of New England Sports Network’s Dining Playbook, for dinner at Craft Table & Bar in East Boston. Dining Playbook is a weekly show that highlights the best restaurants in and around Boston, focusing on where to go, what to eat, what to drink and where Boston’s celebrity athletes hang out. So it came as no surprise that the restaurant of choice for the night’s festivities seriously stepped up to the plate.With patio season in full effect, we spent our night…

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Is anyone else’s real motivation for watching the Superbowl this weekend snacks and commercials? Give me a solid halftime show, three hours of the best ads of the year, and a table full o’ treats any day.We’ll be hosting family and friends at our house for the game, and my go-to buffalo chicken dip recipe will be front and center. It’s my husband’s absolute favorite, and frankly we could eat the entire thing just the two of us. If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and super yummy dish to serve this Sunday…

HOLIDAY COOKIE SWAP

Food is my love language, especially at holiday time. It’s how I make an extra effort for those I love. It’s how I celebrate. It’s how I show support. It’s how I relax. It’s how I let the people in my life know I care. There’s a magic that happens when you gather with family and friends for a meal. There’s a deeper meaning in sharing what nourishes are bodies and our souls. Call me food-obsessed, but there really is nothing else quite like it.Most of my favorite holiday memories have…

SHORT & SWEET: CINNAMON SUGAR WALNUT QUICK BREAD

Fall is in full swing and if you need me, I’ll be filling my belly with any and everything that tastes like the season. Call me #BASIC, but if it has apple or cinnamon or pumpkin (or any combination of the three) I want, ahem NEED, it in my life. And though I want nothing more than to spend my days holed up in my kitchen cooking and baking things for the folks I love (more on that here), reality reminds me that I have a job and a husband and a social life and I need to go…

SO LONG, SWEET SUMMER

You know how Moms are always bestowing little bite-size nuggets of wisdom on you, even when you’re not asking for it? Drink water. Wash your face before bed. Wear clean underwear when you leave the house in case something happens to you. Use vinegar to clean glass- it’s the only thing that doesn’t streak. Always have $20 in your pocket. My Mom is the ring leader of this movement. Truly. And there’s a good reason for it. She’s always right. (In my family, we call that Mommy Magic.)As I navigate wear I am…
