Food, Family, and Lifestyle
For five days, my Aunt was visiting. Luckily, I had July 3rd off so we had a few full days to spend together. On Friday, we drove around Mystic, CT, visited the Denison Peqoutsepos Nature Center and had lunch at Red 36. Besides the spectacular outside seating and view, the restaurant was gorgeous, the food was…
Last week I had the honor of attending a delicious dinner at the Paragon Restaurant at the Foxwoods Resorts Casino. What made the evening even more spectacular was that the entire meal was built around the wines from Quintessa winery. The evening began with a lively selection of Hordueves paired with the Flowers Chardonnay. Every single…
One of our goals when we traveled to New Hampshire this year was to incorporate a bit of adventure into the vacation. We accomplished that at Attitash.

Sometimes spicy isn’t spicy enough. As I noted a few days ago, we are growing spicy basil in our garden and I have been busy using it in a few dishes. I made this pesto with almonds since my husband can’t stomach pine nuts. I also added Sriracha since I decided the spicy basil wasn’t…
Happy Spring my friends! It has been a few weeks since we planted some seeds, seedlings and plants into our raised bed garden. This year we were able to buy all the fruits and vegetables we wanted locally, so I thought I would share what we planted this year. Please note: since we do still have…
I know you are going to agree with this statement: Some, if not most days, you need a short-cut for some tasks right? One area that most of us need help with is getting dinner on the table but not throwing all nutritional value out the window. The pizza that I am sharing with you today is made with all Non-GMO items,…
