Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese and Pepper Jelly Crostini
I have a bit of a different post to share with you today, with a very delicious and SIMPLE appetizer… in case you’re looking for a last minute NYE recipe, or just a great anytime snack.

An Evening at Max Brenner
My first experience with Max Brenner was years ago – we stopped into their Union Square, NYC location and sampled the most delicious little chocolates – their Praline Pecans. The little caramelized pecans are covered in chocolate dusted with cocoa powder, and are so incredibly delicious. With that first bite began a serious love affair.

My First Ballet with the Boston Ballet

Vermont Cookie Love
When I was approached recently to sample some cookies from a local company in Vermont, I was thrilled. I can honestly never turn down a cookie – must be the baker in me! – but cookies hailing from Vermont sounded even more intriguing. I have a deep-rooted love for/obsession with Vermont, and dream of moving there someday, so pretty much anything that creates an association with the state or reminds me of my fond memories of visiting it, I love.
