I recently got way more zucchini than I could use. So I made a zucchini bread, but added figs and pumpkin seeds. Sooo yummy. Just mix up the wet ingredients, mix up the dry, stir them together and bake. Easy and done in under an hour!

Living on an island just south of Niagara Falls and building a business plan for the next chapter of my life! This time one that involves travel, food, baking, and being my own boss! Writing on recipes, restaurants, breweries/wineries, and fun places to visit. Life does NOT end when you retire! I can guarantee it.
Business Lunches and Berries Pavlova
Making a special dessert for Christmas in 2020 brought back so many memories of life in the business world back in the 80s and 90s, and memories of “business lunches” in and around Boston.

The perfect place for a zingy curd like this.

We started using Misfits Market for fruits and veggies. A great deal and lots of inspiration for future recipes. Read more about my experience and maybe take a walk down memory lane if you loved Rudolph. Yup, I tied them together!
The Best Place to Hike In Lexington!
We’ve hiked in Lexington 3+ times in the past 12 months. After our most recent hike on New Year’s Weekend, I realize why. It’s the perfect spot for a hike, whether alone, with friends or with family, any time of the year.
Beach Memories of Childhood – Breakheart Reservation
A few weeks ago we hiked at Breakheart Reservation. If you grew up north of Boston, perhaps you remember this park? It’s had some upgrades and is a perfect place to hike pretty much any time of the year! Did it have a fountain when you went there?
