Today’s green smoothie is on the olive side of the green spectrum. It is a ginger peach smoothie made with fresh orange juice instead of a vitamin c packet as I had a few leftover in the fridge. It has Vermont spinach from my Farmer’s To You order, a local peach and nectarine, a knob…

Feeling Peachy: Smoothie Recipe
Today I am feeling peachy keen. I am in Fall cleaning mode and clearing out the house of clutter and junk. This morning I am also planning steps to continue the path I am traveling with my Planetshoes Sole Sisters towards getting #fit4fall and at some point I’m hoping #fitforever. On the menu this morning…
The Birthday Cookie: Recipe Included
Sometime’s a child’s request is a snowball of ‘little things’ that make you feel like you are at the end of your rope. You are packing lunches, figuring out schedules, trying to find a new sitter, exhausted from the 1 a.m. request to come “lie with me because I’m sneezy and I can’t sleep” and…
More Superheroes and Ballerinas: Anna’s Taqueria Has All the Right Stuff
A few weeks ago I posted about my little Superhero and Ballerina with the following thought: Superheroes don’t always wear capes and ballerinas aren’t always found in the dance studio. Anna’s Taqueria has a new kind of celebrity rolling burritos for charity because celebrities go beyond the sports field and silver screen. For several months…
Pico De Gallo Recipe: Inspired by Ree
Way before our farm tomatoes were ripe, I was cozy on the couch with my two little sous chefs watching Ree Drummond make her pico de gallo. The next day, I got my ingredients together and made a batch and I’ve been making it weekly ever since. But this week, it is a celebration because…

Somerville and Cambridge Get a Bit Tastier
Somerville is lucky to have a little piece of the Area Four world. A4 pizza opens today and every day at 5:00. The spot looks like a place you could hang out on a regular basis with some good friends, a cold local brew in hand accompanied by some amazing pizza and other little bites….
Mom & Daughter Night Out: Oysters and Burgers in Harvard Square
Sometimes, especially in the summer, you need to divide and conquer. Tonight the boys stayed in and ate farm fresh veggies. The girls went out on the town. Originally, we planned to get $1 oysters at Noir in the Charles hotel (as mentioned on their Facebook Page) but it turned out that there was a…
Simple Sundays: Rose Lemonade Cocktail
This rose lemonade cocktail is so simple. It is slightly fragrant from the roses and very refreshing on a hot summer evening. It is the perfect drink for a Sunday afternoon, brunch, or a baby shower (just leave out the vodka for those who prefer). Chill a bottle of Fentimans’ rose lemonade. If you have…
Peach Sangria with Bourbon
It’s peach season! There is no reason to wait for fall and apple picking time to head to the orchards. Whether you pick your own, head to the farmer’s market or stop in at Russo’s or Wilson Farm, keep a few of those juicy fuzzy balls (yes I totally just wrote that!) for a luscious…
