It feels like full-on winter in Boston all of a sudden, and I’m even more interested in cozy soups than I was a few weeks ago. I think a bowl of soup with a side of home-baked bread or muffin is just about the perfect lunch. This carrot-pecan cornbread recipe is adapted from one of … Continue reading Carrot-Pecan Cornbread
We’ve been living in Boston for a little over two months now, and while I still don’t feel completely settled in yet, I have been having fun trying new restaurants and exploring New England. Here are a few fun restaurants/destinations we’ve enjoyed so far! Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum This gorgeous museum is just as much … Continue reading Autumn in Boston
This salad is giant, fresh, and delicious—the perfect thing after a busy week of too many restaurants and rushed “lunches” made of snack foods. The dairy-free dressing is made creamy by blending in chickpeas, which I didn’t think of but which I think is total genius! I actually prepared and photographed this salad two months … Continue reading Giant Romaine Salad with Creamy Cilantro Dressing

Andrew’s sister and her fiance came to visit us this past weekend, and we dragged them along on a few adventures. Saturday, we started the day with bagels from our … Continue reading New York Adventures: City & Upstate

This is loose adaptation of a recipe on the King’s Hawaiian website. It’s so easy and so delicious! It also paired perfectly with … Continue reading Hawaiian-Style Pineapple Pulled Pork
This weekend I didn’t do very much cooking because we ended up eating out at restaurants a lot. We’ve been making the rounds of our favorite places in New York, because at the end of the month we are moving to Boston! Andrew is going to be doing doctoral studies in music and I am … Continue reading Sunday at the Shore
Dairy-Free Fudge Pops I was inspired by the heat wave we had last weekend to make popsicles—possibly the most summery treat of all. These are dairy free and super creamy and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The original recipe calls for a tablespoon of instant espresso powder, so feel free to add … Continue reading Dairy-Free Fudge Pops
