On My List: Salt House Inn

One of the best parts about living in Boston is how easy it is to get to Cape Cod for a weekend. I have been spending time there since I was little and no place makes me happier during the summer months. I recently read about the SALT HOUSE INN in Provincetown. The boutique hotel is the collaboration of two big names in the hotel world—C.O.O. of André Balazs Properties David Bowd and Starwood Hotels interior designer Kevin O’Shea. 

Kevin O'Shea's impeccable style is evident through out the property! 

Every morning you will have a decadent breakfast waiting for you including homemade granola. Yes, please!

Dinner Party on Cape Cod

I am off to Cape Cod with family and friends. I am sharing a post from last year with photos of our views (courtesy of my talented brother). And of a summer feast I made for everyone. Cheers to summer and I will be back to the blog on August 6th.

We eat all our meals out on the deck. Can you blame us? 

The menu included a creative take on CAPRESE SALAD 

My homemade caesar salad which is an adapted version of this RECIPE

Marinated FLANK STEAK cooked on the grill - the recipe is a family favorite and is deliciously simple

And for dessert deconstructed STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

A delicious meal enjoyed with favorirte folks in a stunning setting truly is summer perfection!

Dinner with a View

Last night we had dinner at my favorite restaurant on Cape Cod - THE RED INN in Provincetown. While Ptown is known for being same sex friendly, it is welcoming to everyone. The Red Inn is located in the most beautiful part of town all the way out to the very tip of the Cape. You can have cocktails while taking in the breathtaking view. It is the perfect spot for a party or to celebrate a special occasion.

The views are some of the best on the Cape

The food is a selection of delicious American Fare - enjoy pan roasted local cod, fresh lobster, Wellfleet Oysters, or the house special rack of lamb. Whatever you order you will not be disappointed! 

They also have a small number of rooms with the same beautiful water views.

All Things Oysters

Since I am blogging from Wellfleet, MA (on Cape Cod for those of you not from the Northeast), it seems fitting that I post about oysters. Wellfleet Oysters are some of the best in the country and with a glass of chilled champagne - delish!

For dinner out head to B & G OYSTERS in Boston. It is fantastic!

Or in Wellfleet head to the WICKED OYSTER.

Looking for a new experience in Boston? Try oyster shucking classes at NORTH END FISH MARKET. The owners are such fun, too! My friend Paula joined me for the lesson and they even gave my Jack Russell (Auggie) the red carpet treatment.

Oysters Rockefeller is a classic. For a recipe from Tyler Florence CLICK.
