Food, Family, and Lifestyle
Believe it or not, we have friends that still do not have power in Rhode Island and bordering CT due to Superstorm Sandy. Therefore, we are doing our best to let them know they are welcome to bring their laundry over for cleaning as well as their hungry bellies for stuffing. Seeing that we want…
We had quite the restless late Tuesday afternoon but by early evening, we were able to head out and drive up the road to a friends house, to grill and share a meal together. I could not sleep again but welcomed the bright lights that appeared at 4 a.m. Wednesday when the power was restored….
Luckily, I began preparing for Hurricane Sandy last Friday. My parents came down to visit so I was busy stocking up on water, batteries and non-perishables while they played with the kids & before the public rush for supplies began.

Last week, we squeezed in a date night prior to spending two days at both Yale & Massachusetts General (I still need to share an update on that front) and our first stop was The Malted Barley in Westerly, Rhode Island. Besides loving the pretzels and beer at the malted barley, we were invited to…
Before I head out for a busy busy day on the medical front, I made myself a crispy whole wheat bagel topped with some of this cream cheese. Plus, I had to make something special for Pumpkin Day you know. You may think you have seen just about every type of pumpkin recipe the past…
