*this was supposed to be posted at the end of January, but life got busy. The snow storm was on January 29, 2022 so I am posting this almost a month late lol Last week, Boston, and most of New England, had the biggest blizzard that the area has seen in about 7 years. Knowing…
Allison’s Year of Eating: 2021
This post is a long time coming. I had a lot of ideas for posts last year but lacked the time to write them due to work (I no longer work from home ever..). This originally started as a “Summer of Eating” post, but seeing as it is already winter and 2022, I changed it…
Allison’s January 2022 Reads
My reading goal for 2022 is 30 books. I finished my 5th book in January and decided that was plenty of books for this month. I can’t currently run due a stress fracture in my foot, which is a reason for reading so many books this month. So I am taking the last week of…
My 2021 reads

Ladies who Drunch: Six \ West
Celebrating a birthday is as good a reason as any to try out a new brunch spot. Over the weekend was my roommate’s birthday, so the three of us ventured all the way to South Boston to try a restaurant we have been talking about for months. They have cute, individual huts that allow each…
Tik Tok’s Tomato Feta Pasta
Over the weekend, I was walking through my local Whole Foods, trying to decide what I wanted to make for dinner. On a whim, I decided to try a recipe I had been seeing all over Tik Tok for a tomato and feta pasta. I wasn’t even sure how much I really liked feta, I…
Allison Makes Shephard’s Pie
This has been one of my favorite meals since I was a child. I have no clue why, but I love it. It is one of my top go-to comfort foods and perfect for fall and the quickly approaching winter. Last week we got 4 inches of snow in Boston, only a few days before…
