Marathon Monday!
Boston comes alive the weekend prior to the start of the Boston Marathon! The energy of the city is felt everywhere. The long planning of the marathon is done. The runners have trained long and hard. They hope the weather will be perfect, not to hot and not to cold. They hope Heartbreak Hill won’t get the best of them and that they cross the finish line with everyone cheering them. Along the way on the sides of the road, many people will be waiting to cheer on the runners mile by mile. It is what we do each Patriot’s …
Baking with a Twist
Every holiday season my family asks me to bake “my” apple pie. I never thought it was anything spectacular because the grocery store down the street sold the same pie with neater lattice tops. When I baked, I followed the instructions from the book in the pantry, added water to the pre-mixed dough package, and popped the dessert into the oven. Easy as pie, as they say. The more I made the same recipe, however, the more I deviated from the original directions. I’d eyeball the nutmeg and leave the skin on the apples. It became sloppier than the store-bought …
What a Sweet Week!
After working on Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer for almost a year, Boston Bakes is half gone and I have not gotten to enjoy all the desserts I want! There are so many choices but not enough time!
Maybe next year selfishly I will try to make Boston Bakes longer than 7 days to give me more time to get to more restaurants, bakeries, ice cream and chocolate shops and order more on our Shop page and raise even more money for breast cancer!
One stop I did make on the first day of Boston Bakes was to Ula’s Cafe in Jamaica …

Yummy Yogurt
Soy yogurt from fatfreevegan.com
The latest trend in yogurt has been showing up everywhere over the past few years, from grocery stores to coffee shops, convenient stores and more. At first I was skeptical. The plain, sugar-free flavor of greek style yogurt was boring and bland compared to the fruity flavors of Yoplait‘s apple turnover and boston-cream-pie-delights that I was used to.
But soon enough, greek yogurt worked it’s way into my heart and is now one of my most desired snacks. Chobani is definitely my brand of choice.
Vanilla Chobani
The “fruit on the bottom” makes it all worthwhile with flavors like peach …
