Savoring life in the Berkshires
As I mentioned in my 2022 theme word post, I’ve been feeling more organized and like myself recently. It’s very exciting to be posting my first menu plan since school started (oops!) and I’m looking forward to making some meals that are more varied and interesting than what we’ve been eating lately. During the week…
This time last year, I selected the word deliberate as my 2021 theme. Looking back, my thoughts about 2021 aren’t that different from what I want to do in 2022: “I won’t just happen to read more books, or cook new recipes, or have date nights, or not have to work weekends.” My thought a…
As is clear from my lack of menu plans this year, 2021 found me trying fewer new recipes than probably any year in the past decade. We ate a lot of meals that were decided on the way home from work. Macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, pasta and sandwiches were part of the menu rotation…

Each Wednesday, I log onto a website, place my order for the week from the available produce, then pick up my share in Williamstown. I thought I wasn’t going to like preordering items, but it’s nice to know what I’m getting in…
This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Relishments! Note: this recipe should have gone up closer to the beginning of the week. My apologies for the closely spaced menu plans. The time is finally here. I go back to school this Thursday. As usual (and yet, it always surprises me!) summer went by very…
It seemed like an enough of an accomplishment this month to just get a Relishments Bakes challenge posted AND post a recipe, so I decided not to push it by thinking too hard about what to make. It’s August and the obvious choice was to make zucchini bread. I opted to try the Ultimate Zucchini…
