Did you get to sample Bow & Sparrow Bakery’s shortbread truffle sandwiches at the Eat Boutique Holiday Market? I did. In fact, I definitely circled back for more…again…and then again one last time. These pretty sandwich cookies are handcrafted in San Francisco by Melissa Mecca. Get to know her and her other small batch loves,

I tend to focus most of the time on what everyone else is eating. I often want what my husband ordered after our dishes arrive. I spend the majority of my day feeding my newborn daughter and reading books about what I will puree for her in just a few more weeks. I give restaurant

So much fruit, so little time. Spending time grilling figs, wiping strawberry juice from the corner of my mouth, tossing blueberries into, well, everything makes me happy.  Ah, fresh summer fruit. We’re planning to highlight summer’s greatest asset in an upcoming series of posts on fruit crisps…until then, we’re loving these baked fruit desserts from

Sometimes I catch myself staring at the batches of tomatoes on display at the farmers market.  Just gazing, because they are so pretty, dreaming about what I will make.  And often, I just take them home, slice them and sprinkle on some salt and pepper and eat.  That’s how we used to do it at

A New England Clambake is so very summer: backyard (or beach!), bibs, beer and a crowd.  The traditional menu typically stars lobster (plus melted butter!), with clam chowder, mussels and clams, a hunk of corn on the cob, potatoes and maybe some coleslaw on the side.  After devouring said clambake a few weeks ago and

We’re not really trying to hide our love of canning here at Eat Boutique.  Let’s face it, we can’t seem to help ourselves when it comes to preserving beautiful, seasonal food for future use (Concord Grapes, Lemons, Ramps, to name a few).  So to have the chance to sit down and share a potluck with

What We’re Loving: Salads

by Lauren Keiper

This time of year, when I think salad, I tend to go straight to the potato or macaroni variety, nearly always a staple at a summertime cookout, and for good reason. On the hottest days, I also love to make a Panzanella salad, rough cuts of bread and veggies tossed in a light dressing.  It
