It’s summer in New England which means that our weather has changed to incorporate heat & humidity on the regular, thus speeding up the decomposition process for our room-temperature fruits & veggies. Bananas are no exception to this, and when they turn completely brown I pop them into a container...

If you’re anything like me, you’ve tried at least 10 different recipes for granola- each of them ok, but not something that you want to make… and then make again. With this recipe I’ve tweaked it a few times until I found the balance that makes me happy. It’s slightly...
Never in my life, until just over a year ago, had I known so many people with food allergies. Now I have adopted an entire family full 🙂 (and I love them all) and have several friends with them as well. There are allergies to spices, some to raw fruits...

I absolutely love the summer for fresh fruits. We have cantaloupes and strawberries, blueberries, peaches and nectarines. So many farms in the area allow for picking your own too. I grabbed a few things from the farmer’s market, and a few from the grocery store, and threw together a luscious...
