Sunday Morning Coffee – May 21, 2017 – Readings & Recommendations

After weeks and weeks of temperatures in the fifties, we’re finally starting to get some warmer weather. I’ve been back in the kitchen with a little more energy, gusto, and creativity, though sometimes my plans for a spring dessert (strawberry-rhubarb butter crumb bars) were thwarted by not wanting to turn the oven on in 90-degree … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: Menu Planning and Readings for April 30, 2017

It’s been a beautiful week, and we got a glimpse of close-to-summer weather yesterday. Charlotte’s been wild about the chance to get outside and is loving spending time on the swings and slides in the neighborhood parks. Here’s what I’ve been eating and reading this week:

Sunday Morning Coffee: April 16, 2017

We’re celebrating Easter weekend and Marathon Monday as a family: my mom and dad came up, and I’m realizing it’s been pretty much a decade since we spent the holiday together.

Sunday Morning Coffee: December 4, 2016

This morning the whole family ran the Cambridge Winter Classic 5k. It was a first for my mom, dad, and Charlotte. It’s a favorite race of mine because it’s the first formal race I ever ran (after my high school track career). It’s my fifth time running the course; my times have slowed way down since … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: July 10, 2016

At the end of a tough week, one of the things I’d most like to share is a podcast that’s been making me very happy lately: Another Round with Heben and Tracy. I started listening earlier in 2016 when I was on a mission to include more comedy in my life, and their show is funny and … Read more
