Food, Family, and Lifestyle
This past weekend, Lydia and I took our Rhode Island Recipe book to the annual Kenyon’s Johnny Cake Festival in Rhode Island. We were fortunate to have a great weather weekend with mornings starting in the 50’s and warming up to the mid to high 60’s with plenty of sun. The crowd was enthusiastic, lovers…
I will repeat myself once again: we are vinegar-a-holics. We do not seek help for this addiction; we simply continue to feed it. Last week, I ran across a display of figs at a local grocery store and knew immediately that combining them with balsamic vinegar would be a great way to get the kids…
Sometimes you have to mix things up. Literally. I know that can freak out your kids but sometimes you just have to get yo’ freak on. Honestly, my daughter can’t stand eating straight up broccoli but doesn’t mind if it is mixed into pasta or rice. Plus, toss some bacon in and I don’t hear…

This past Sunday we decided to explore a well-known destination in Rhode Island that we had not yet visited: Schartner’s Farm. We explored the delicious store and picked up some apples, jerky, Narragansett Creamery spread…. As well as two pumpkins and mums. There was plenty of fun to be had in the field….unless you were…
Continuing on my lazy busy-day recipes that I made while company was visiting this week, comes this 2-minute to prepare Herbs de Provence Salmon Recipe. This is a perfect weekday recipe because all you do is simply mix in some dried Herbs de Provence with some mustard, slap smear it onto the Salmon and pop…
