Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Yes, Shake Shack is a chain, but it's not a chain we've had in Massachusetts prior to 2013. As with all newly opened chain restaurants from another area, people feel the need to start hyping up the quality. I heard all kinds of things ranging from, "It's way better than Five Guys," and then sacrilege... Continue Reading →
It's a little embarrassing to admit that despite growing up around Providence, RI, I only recently had my first Venda Ravioli experience over the summer. After eating there, I'm more than disappointed in myself for not trying it sooner and sad that I went so many years without it! Almost everyone knows the name as... Continue Reading →
Growing up, my mother did the cooking at home. On the rare occasions that my mother went away for a week to visit family or for a physician's conference, my father would be left to attempt feeding us. Unfortunately for my brother and I, but fortunately for you, he only knew how to make two... Continue Reading →
For most people, if the weather is hot, ice cream sounds like a great idea. If you're like me, ice cream sounds like a great idea regardless of the weather.

It started in June 2013 and takes place every Sunday during the summer until August 25th (rain or shine). I'm not sure how the organizers landed the great location right on the water, but they...

It's the summer (or the winter!) and you don't have a grill or a smoker. What do you do? Sit there and lament your grill-less state? No! You buy some ribs, turn on that oven, and make some fall off the bone beef ribs! The funny thing about "fall-off-the-bone ribs" is that according to rib... Continue Reading →
If you're a seasonal eating type of person then a New England summer invokes connotations of fresh seafood and trips to the seashore. I enjoy seafood year-round (let's face it, most of it is frozen before it gets to us lay people anyway), but somehow it just tastes better in the summer. There are all... Continue Reading →
As we approach the birth of our great nation (that's the U.S.A. to my foreign readers), I wanted to do something special. Over the past few weeks, I've posted a lot of grilled, fried, and steamed meats, so I thought I would change it up a bit. I don't know why I thought of baking... Continue Reading →
