I’ve always loved a good salad. The problem is, my definition of “good” basically means “not homemade.” I know the premise sounds simple – how can you screw up throwing some lettuce and a few ingredients into a bowl? But there always seems to be something missing when you throw a salad together at home. Because […]
Relaxing With Rembrandt: Yoga at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
I’m a wannabe yogi. Yes, I envy the cool outfits, cute mats, and the Instagram opportunities. But more than that, I envy the relaxation and “zen” state that yogis are able to achieve. Unfortunately, I’m pretty much as anxiety-ridden as it gets. I’ve been told for years that I should try yoga, but the thought of […]
Move Over Hummus: Why Chickpeas Are My New Dessert Obsession
In high school, my mom would often pack hummus in a little tupperware container for me to eat with pita bread or veggies at lunch. Because kids are mean and dumb, a few people would make fun of it because they had never had it. It didn’t phase me, because I got to sit there […]

If you haven’t heard of it by now, Fabletics is an online women’s activewear brand founded by Kate Hudson.

Eggs Baked in Portobello Mushrooms
If you’re looking for an easy, high-protein dinner, these eggs baked in portobello mushrooms are about as simple as it gets. As I’ve mentioned, I’m pretty new to this cooking thing. And I’ll still only cook things with barbarically simple steps and minimal ingredients. Also, I have a thing where I don’t really like/know how […]
You Had Me at Merlot: A Day at Nashoba Valley Winery
As a self-proclaimed grandma, I may not be big on “going out,” but I’m always looking for new daytime adventures. I love exploring different towns and trying new activities. The problem is, most of my friends live a plane ride away, so finding partners in crime can be a challenge. I’d seen a couple of Instagram […]
Healthy Pumpkin Donut Holes
Happy National Donut Day! As much as I hate to admit this, the first thing I do when I wake up is check social media. First Instagram, then Twitter, and finally, as my attention span wanes, a quick Facebook scan. I guess it’s our generation’s version of reading the paper. Before I knew it this […]
