John Harvard’s Brunch

Brunch is easily my favorite meal. I don’t often indulge in it, but when I do, it’s such a treat! I love being a part of the Boston Brunchers group because new restaurants are often brought before me, and I have a chance to try a place I’ve never been and sometimes never even considered. When I was offered a chance to visit John Harvard’s to try their Brewers brunch, I was psyched! (more…)


Rino’s Place, East Boston

A few weekends ago, Kevin and I were craving something delicious for dinner, but we also wanted to stay in and watch a movie… in our PJ’s. We cook almost every night, and we make some great dinners, but sometimes it’s just so much more fun to eat food prepared by someone else – no dishes, and you get to indulge! So we went in search of great take-out. (more…)


A Quick Stop at Ball Square Cafe

It feels like it’s been forever since I attended a Boston Brunchers event, so I was excited to get a chance to see the group a couple weekends ago for a brunch at Ball Square Cafe. If you’re from the area, you might have heard of the Ball Square Cafe vs. Sound Bites rivalry, which was really the only thing I knew about Ball Square Cafe before visiting… that and the fact that you can almost NEVER get in without standing in line. That usually means good things for a brunch place, so I was really looking forward to this meal. (more…)


Common Ground Bistro Dinner Menu

A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip into the bitter cold to check out the new bistro menu at Common Ground in Allston. I went to BU as an undergrad, and at that time, Common Ground was really nothing more than an average neighborhood bar. Since Bob O’Guin took ownership, it seems things just keep improving! Over the summer, I had a chance to sit out on their back patio, and enjoyed a really tasty summer menu. It was a fun little escape in the city that I loved to discover. Last week’s experience was another good one – we tried a good variety of menu items, all made in-house, and I was pleased to find myself enjoying each and every bite. (more…)


Cheese Chatter, and a giveaway! [Closed]

It’s probably not common knowledge amongst my blog readers that I love (LOVE) cheese, since all I share with you are my baking exploits. But the truth is – I am obsessed with cheese. I eat it (almost) every, against my usually better judgement, and I could probably eat it more often if I wasn’t concerned about my health. I like simple cheeses, like a really good, sharp cheddar, and also the more adventurous, stinky cheeses – there’s little cheese I really don’t like. So when Land O’ Lakes contacted me about participating in their Cheese Chatter webinar last week – of course I said yes! (more…)
