Ahh, this time of year. The best of end-of-summer crops meets perfect weather. The very last bit of peaches, peak foliage in the White Mountains, a final 80 degree day at the beach followed by a cozy sweater, fleece leggings, and Alfred Hitchcock movies. Sort of says it all, doesn’t
Oh, hello blog! Hello tiny little world! How lovely it is to remember this space exists. Le sigh. What a crazy month it’s been. Summer was beautiful, bright, at times both hectic and calm, and most of all, continuously delicious. While I love the summer, I’m welcoming fall with open
Well, isn’t this just the best thing ever since sliced bread, if you consider that something you can’t imagine life without. When asked what my favorite thing to make is, I can never come up with an answer. No favorite vegetable, no favorite dish. I just get so excited to
We drove the almost four hours in Boston and Cape Cod traffic to get to the camp site. High hopes in mind, knowing our friends, we rolled into the campgrounds, ready for a few days of heavy relaxation, good eating, and plenty of beach and fireside chats. But the campground

There are some mornings you just wake up and know it’s going to be a great day. I don’t know if it’s the yoga class I went to last night after a hiatus; the incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking documentary 180° South that I finally watched about a wild expedition to
The North Shore is such an epic place. I find myself getting lost in the beauty of Annisquam lately, a place that although I did not grow up far from, never spent much time in until fairly recently. An incredible place. Beautiful beaches, idyllic farms, and wonderful people throughout the
I feel like I’m in a “if you give a mouse a cookie” situation. I wanted to test the goat cheese ice cream recipe before posting, doubled, so had to use a dozen egg yolks. I am not one to enjoy egg white omelets — let’s be honest, I’m really here for
