Although I love to support small local businesses, I am okay with chain restaurants every once in a while, especially ones that do what they do well. Wagamama is one of those places. I was recently invited to visit Wagamama Lynnfield before they opened to the public and along with several other bloggers and writers…

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….
Quick and Easy Snowy Day Dinner
I have been a huge fan of Bahn Mi for years now ever since my first bite… I wish I remember where. After a truly delectable and delicious lunch at Bon Me I wanted more of the same for dinner. The kids requested rice at dinner for tonight so my starting point was rice in…
This is so yummy!
Last night I made a roasted chicken (http://www.onceuponachef.com/2011/01/the-family-dinner.html). I’ve made roasted chicken before not very often but often enough.

What’s For Dinner: Supper Club
Smells of warm cookies waft down the hall. Supper is warming in the oven. Vegetables are steaming on the stovetop. The home-made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are perched on their cooling rack. The sweet sound of a cork popping from the bottle of red wine and the clink of wine glasses are heard. Add a…
What’s For Dinner?
It’s a grey, now rainy, day today and there is a definite chill in the air. This would be a perfect day to curl up with a book. If I were still in college, I would probably head to a local cafe with my books and a notebook and actually get some work done. Yes,…
Belmont Farmer’s Market Pizza Night
Tonight my husband and I had a late night dinner together. The light was glowing, we sat with a glass of wine in hand, and a plate of fresh made pizza and a crisp salad. Sounds romantic right? Well in fact, an hour or so prior to this I was upstairs wrangling…
