Super Bowl Fun

Cozy with Cocoa

Winter has finally arrived in Boston with colder temps and a few minor snowstorms. Is there anything better than a fire and cup of cocoa on a snowy day?

Brunch Bliss

Truth be told, I am not a huge fan of brunch. My ideal morning is lingering over coffee and a light breakfast. But this RECIPE for French Toast with Berry Butter may just convert me!
