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.

PITCHES NIGHT IN

This post is sponsored by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. All opinions are my own. Hey, Pitches! The Bellas are back for one last call in Pitch Perfect 3 – the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office, most of which was probably contributed by me. Seriously, guys. I love these movies! Available now on iTunes, I’m rallying my best gals for a movie night to celebrate.

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…
