Once a week, my husband and I cook salmon with veggies. We know how important it is to get in your Omega-3s and while it’s not always the most exciting meal it’s healthy and clean. We’ve admittedly been getting a little sick of it though, so I recently went on Pinterest to find a twist on … Continue reading Fajita Salmon, Need I Say More?
This summer is flying by. How is it already August? Between work, travel, and life I’ve been spending very little time in the kitchen. And to be honest, I’m not complaining about that as I normally would. I’ve enjoyed being a bit spoiled and eating out more than usual with my husband on our two … Continue reading 20 Minute Mexican Corn and Quinoa Salad
March 19 is a special day. On March 19, 2007, my husband and I decided to give our relationship a “go” and become an official couple. We were friends for years before we took this life altering leap, and it was simply the best decision I’ve ever made. Falling in love with your favorite person … Continue reading 11 Years, a Two-Year Old, and a Couple of Lobsters
As you’ve all come to realize reading this blog, I often have a story to accompany the dishes I make and write about. Because to me, all food has a story and I like sharing mine with you. This week, however, I don’t have much to say other than I recently simply wanted to try … Continue reading Simple and Delicious Ricotta Gnocchi
Here’s one of the things I love about my husband: he likes to try new things. He loves exploring new cities, new restaurants, new stores, new beaches, new bars, new everything. He’s always up for a new experience, no matter what the unpredictable outcome may be. And trust me, we’ve had some doozies. But I … Continue reading Cubanos Two Ways
Anyone close to me can tell you, I love awards shows. Give me gorgeous people dressed in stunning outfits, a hilarious host, and some shiny gold trophies, and I’m all in. To make the night even more fabulous, I always order greasy Chinese food and pour myself a huge glass of wine to accompany it. … Continue reading Cauliflower Fried Rice and the Golden Globes
Happy New Year everyone! I can still say that right? I welcome 2018 with open arms, even though 2017 was a pretty great year minus some hurdles big and small. It was the year I celebrated hitting my one year “cancer free” mark, got promoted, watched my nephews and niece grow into little people, welcomed … Continue reading New Year, New Recipe, New Outlook
Not sure about you, but I feel like this fall has been absolutely insane. How is it already mid October? Between work and my personal life, I’ve barely had time to catch my breath. Amidst the madness, it’s good to hit the pause button and recharge your batteries (if you can). This past weekend I … Continue reading Taking a Pause with a Shrimp Alfredo Pasta Bake
Note from me: I had this blog post all ready to go to post on Monday morning, and then woke up to the tragic news of the Las Vegas massacre. It’s senseless, it’s infuriating, and it’s devastating. Out of respect for the victims, their families, and a grieving country, I decided not to post anything … Continue reading Give Yourself a Hug with Chowder
There are few things in this world I value more than traveling. To me, experiencing other cultures (both in and out of this country) is part of my responsibility as a human existing on this planet. If you have the means, I strongly believe in the value of learning how others live – what they … Continue reading Montréal, Je T’Aime
Hello everyone, To say it’s been a while is the understatement of the century. Allow me to briefly explain. The morning of October 6, 2015 I posted what I didn’t know would be my last blog post here for quite some time. I was particularly excited about this post because I had an unforgettable weekend … Continue reading Enough is Enough. Let’s Get Back To It.
Everyone seems so angry these days that fall is here. I hear you, it’s sad that summer is over and that winter is coming, but can’t we all just stop our complaining and realize the beauty that is fall? 60 degree days, sweaters, cool nights, and best of all, comfort food. Love me some comfort … Continue reading Enjoy Fall With Creamy Tomato Soup
Well, it’s good to be back. After one of the busiest summers of my life, this blog got put on the back burner – which is a shame because it’s something that I really love to do! However, between school, work, travel, Giada puppy, and just life in general, some things had to give. So … Continue reading Wind Summer Down with Summer Squash, Pasta, and Arugula-Walnut Pesto
I’m an avid sushi eater, and every time I order a roll that involves a spicy mayo sauce I yearn to lick my entire plate or use my chop sticks like a spoon to get any extra into my mouth. I love that sauce, yet have never thought about making it on my own. Until … Continue reading DIY Sriracha Cream Sauce (with Salmon)
After one hell of a winter that included record-breaking snowfalls and extremely low temperatures, you can imagine how excited us Bostonians are to welcome spring. I can feel it in the air. People have smiles on their faces and the city has gotten its mojo back. On top of that, the Boston Marathon is today … Continue reading Welcoming Spring with Zucchini Pasta and Turkey Ragu
One of the biggest changes I have noticed about myself as I get older is what constitutes as a “fun night out” for me. Sure, sometimes it’s exciting to get all dolled up and head out onto the town. But, over the last year or so I have found myself extremely content with a night in as … Continue reading Staying In with Chicken Mozzarella Pasta
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are well aware that Boston is experiencing a pretty hellish ordeal right now. The weather has really taken its toll on the hearts and minds of Bostonians, turning us against each other and causing us to ask ourselves, “Why do we live here?!?!” After an eventful week … Continue reading Give Yourself a Reason to Smile with Salmon
As I sit here reading multiple news articles and weather alerts about the upcoming blizzard about to hit Boston, I chuckle to myself thinking that a mere seven days ago I was in sunny Mexico basking in the sun sipping a nice cold alcoholic beverage. I traveled to Mexico with my seven best friends and … Continue reading A Mexican Dish in Honor of an Unforgettable Mexican Vacation
Alright everyone. The holiday vacation is over and let’s face it, it sucks. Decorations are coming down, and it’s back to work. I think it’s normal to feel a little “blue” this time of year, so it’s important to find ways to be happy and cheerful. For me, food does just that. It makes me … Continue reading Cheer Up With Cod Chowder
So last week I posted a recipe that was healthy and light to give readers a little break from the holiday heaviness. In today’s post, I am going to take a turn right back to Indulgence Town to share this amazing mac & cheese recipe we recently made at home. I have met very few … Continue reading Mac & Cheese For Grown Ups
