Sausage & Peppers Pasta Bowl ~ Light, Fresh & Flavorful

My heart is heavy from the events that took place in my home city last week. Every morning, I get up and think of the victims and their families. I pray for them and for beautiful Boston, for healing and for peace.

Light, Lemony & Garlicky Shrimp with Cherry Tomatoes & Fresh Herbs

On the first, warm spring day we rode the bus to Harvard Square. I loved seeing all the bookworn students milling about in the open air cafes and restaurants. They were smiling, in need of a day outside, away from their studies.

After shopping at this wonderful chocolate store and having lunch at one of the bustling outdoor cafes, we came home for dinner. Whipping up this shrimp dish was very easy and fast. We went to bed that night happy and content. The sunshine, shopping and good food cured our cabin fever blues too.

Caribbean Curried Lentils

More than a decade ago, my husband and I honeymooned on the beautiful island of Saint Martin. Twelve years later, we threw caution to the wind and went back for a second honeymoon. It was better than we remembered. It's one of our favorite places on earth. 

We stayed in a secluded area on the French side, not far from the little fishing village of Grand Case. With no TV, no computer nor reliable cell phone service, it was just what we needed to shake off the excess stress of living and working in Boston.  

Sweet & Spicy Cheddar & Pepper Jelly Pastry Puffs

When I was a little girl, we lived in a suburb of NYC. I remember going to the city to see Broadway shows with my parents. So exciting! I remember the first time I saw a homeless person too. I asked my father if we could invite her home for dinner. He smiled, shaking his head. He said I had a bleeding heart.
