Sticky Buns in Jars
With Christmas behind us now, I’m all for moving on to discussing New Year’s Eve cocktails, warm stick-to-your-ribs dishes to get us through bitter cold January, and even some early Valentine’s Day treats. But I have to take a step back to Christmas morning and share a recipe that was perfect for my family’s holiday brunch, but that would also suit the breakfast table of [give or take] any other day of the year as well: Pull-Apart Cinnamon Breads from Shaina‘s Desserts in Jars.

Sugar Magnolia’s
Perched on Boston’s North Shore, the sleepy seaport of Gloucester has garnered fame for its seafood and infamy as the site of The Perfect Storm. But though fishing is a key piece of “Glosta’s” culture, the town deserves a spotlight for another reason. Gloucester’s lesser-known (but equally important) contribution to North Shore gastronomy is Sugar Magnolia’s.

Make-Ahead and Freeze: Spiced Pumpkin Bread
Recipe: Spiced Pumpkin Flax Bread
Summary: This recipe is an egg-free, nut-free spiced pumpkin bread that is not overly sweet. (And if you use vegetable oil, it’s also vegan.) It mixes up quickly, fills your home with a tantalizing aroma, and freezes beautifully. Flax seed meal is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Cape Codding
Every summer, like any respectable Massachusetts native, my family and I make the annual pilgrimage from the suburbs over the Sagamore Bridge and into the land of sand and sunshine– otherwise known as Cape Cod– for a wicked good time. Many years of trips there, combined with trial and error, has taught us that every great vacation needs several important factors: fantastic sunny weather without a cloud or raindrop in sight, a balance between doing absolutely nothing without succumbing to boredom, and last but not least, an endless supply of calorie-filled and devilishly delectable meals and goodies that makes you apprehensive about wearing your bathing suit, while promising yourself that you will follow a strict and bland diet upon returning home.
