Transition Time (CSA Menu Plan #124)

Published on September 2, 2020 By Emily. Updated on September 2, 2020

It’s the beginning of my 12th year (!) teaching and yet somehow, I’m still surprised how tired and behind and overwhelmed I am just three days in. Three days of remote meetings and planning/prep and I am so exhausted at 7 pm after putting the kids to bed that it’s unbelievable. It probably doesn’t help…

Fall Planning (CSA Menu Plan #123)

Published on August 28, 2020 By Emily. Updated on August 28, 2020

School starts Monday. And by “school”, I mean the 10 days of professional development that the state of Massachusetts has provided time for to start this year of remote/hybrid/socially distanced learning. Brian and I will both be teaching remotely, at least to start. Still, I know that I need to think seriously about routines, time…

Plans x 2 (CSA Menu Plan #122)

Published on August 19, 2020 By Emily. Updated on August 19, 2020

I just counted – I’m 12 days out from the start of the 2020 school year. That makes total sense, because I’m really into my recently established summer routine – a sure sign that it’s time for school to start and disrupt that routine. My school will be starting remotely, so hopefully I can hold…

Holding Pattern (CSA Menu Plan #121)

Published on August 5, 2020 By Emily. Updated on August 5, 2020

Things around here remain uneventful overall. My 3.5 year old is obsessed with the Frozen franchise and over just the last few weeks we’ve accumulated a Frozen dress up dress, a set of figurines and several Frozen story books. We listen to a lot of Frozen songs around here. When we’re not pretending to be…

But Look At Those Tomatoes (CSA Menu Plan #120)

Published on July 29, 2020 By Emily. Updated on July 29, 2020

Every week, I write about how much I love my CSA pick ups and every week I post a menu plan based around the items I get from Mighty Food Farm. Some weeks, including this one, I really struggle to write those plans though. I ordered what I knew would only be around for a…

Red and Green (CSA Menu Plan #119)

Published on July 22, 2020 By Emily. Updated on July 23, 2020

This is the sweet spot of the summer. I’m just far enough away from the last school year and the coming school year that I can almost ignore both of them. [Almost – staying off Facebook is also helpful in this regard!] The available produce is excellent – tomato season is my very favorite season….

Default Box (CSA Menu Plan #118)

Published on July 16, 2020 By Emily. Updated on July 16, 2020

A few weeks ago I wrote about how CSA pick ups are different this year. We’re placing orders online weekly for the produce we want, then picking up a pre-packed box at our pick up location in Williamstown. Overall, I like this system, but it was only a matter of time before I forgot to…

In the Swing (CSA Menu Plan #117)

Published on July 8, 2020 By Emily. Updated on July 8, 2020

Lately, I feel like I’m finally back to regularly enjoying my time in the kitchen. It’s been a while – first baby M arrived 6 weeks early, then we were in and out of the hospital, then I had the rest of my maternity leave followed by returning to work for 3 weeks. After the…

Same Old (CSA Menu Plan #116)

Published on July 1, 2020 By Emily. Updated on July 1, 2020

I’ve tried to write this introduction three times already, but I really don’t have anything to say! We’re in full summer mode here, which is largely dictated by my 3 year old. Most days we’re outside, playing in some water in some form (a pond, a pool, the sprinkler, the tub), making art and eating…

Sweet Summertime (CSA Menu Plan #115)

Published on June 24, 2020 By Emily. Updated on June 24, 2020

Despite the strange state of the world, we’re working on settling into summer around here. It is such a relief to be home and not trying to work constantly. My calendar is dramatically more clear and things are much less hectic. I don’t know what this fall will bring, but I plan to enjoy the…

Pick Up in the Time of Coronavirus (CSA Menu Plan #114)

Published on June 16, 2020 By Emily. Updated on June 16, 2020

I’m always thrilled when the CSA season resumes; that’s no secret. This year it’s so nice to have something to look forward to and a fridge full of fresh, local produce. This is extra true because I just realized I haven’t posted a CSA menu plan since October, around the time I went into the…

Falling for Fall (CSA Menu Plan #113)

Published on October 15, 2019 By Emily. Updated on October 15, 2019

Once again, I’ve been slacking in my menu planning. Even this past weekend, which included a Monday holiday, wasn’t enough for me to get my act together. I did take some excellent naps however. And we took advantage of the fantastic weather to finally go apple and pumpkin picking. Now, if I can just make…

Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring a sitter for a rare night out. We went to dinner at @publicna and took advantage of the opportunity with drinks, appetizers and dessert.

Pictured:
- Citrus Braised Beef Tacos
- "Chicken and Waffles"

- Fried Chickpeas
- Blood Orange Cheesecake
It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

For the fourth year, I've recapped the best new (to me) recipes I made this year in the hope that they'll give you some new dishes to try. This year's list is short, but delicious. It includes @budgetbytes My Favorite Recipes of 2022
Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
