Looking back at my first year as a mom food blogger, I can honestly say 2010 has been amazing. From experimenting in the kitchen and online. Dining adventures at restaurants all over New England. To finding and meeting many bloggers and business-owners that truly inspire. How to sum up the last 12 months in a single blog post? A round-up naturally! So here...
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am not much of a baker. I will be the first to raise my glass (no spiked egg nog for me - hot cocoa with some kahlua please) to anyone that engages in a baking marathon of Christmas cookie after Christmas cookie. Especially when I am the lucky recipient of such tasty, hard work! It's...
So here we are, almost halfway through the school year, and I can confidently say packing lunch for my boys is going pretty well. We are definitely in a routine and our thermos, lunchboxes and canteens are being put through their paces.

Not only was I excited for a night away from the kids (call me selfish),...
I confess - I am a messy cook! The boys' play kitchen is in better condition than what our kitchen looks like after I tackle dinner. I read once the secret to a happy kitchen is to clean and put away as you cook. I don't know about you, but I can barely hold it together with several pots bubbling away on the...

Boston-area moms, foodies and other "influencers" were invited to meet Rustic Crust CEO...
