A Classic Mussel Dish

September 26, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

You might remember the recent Field Trip Friday I wrote about my visit to Westport, Massachusetts, in which I referenced an awesome day searching for quahogs, clams and mussels.  A great way to spend the day, digging in the muddy banks of a beautiful body of water and pulling out something awesome, like these mussels:…

Homemade Pumpkin Butter

November 17, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Pumpkin Butter cover

Halloween has come and gone, and the two sugar pumpkins (a.k.a. ‘pie pumpkins’) I bought for decoration have been sitting in my kitchen since then. I like to buy the small pumpkins instead of the big ones (which are perfect for carving) because they’re decorative AND edible (i.e, their flesh is sweet and firm, not…

Field Trip Friday – New England Cranberry Bog

October 27, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Field Trip - Cranberry Bog

(Field Trip Fridays capture interesting, fun, food-related and/or fishing adventures that I like to share with you!). On my recent visit to Massachusetts, I simply had to visit a cranberry bog because it’s annual harvest time, and it’s a quintessential event in New England. My long-time pal Heather and I took a trip to A.D….

Gold Rush Griddle Cookies

July 27, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Gold Rush Griddle Cakes

While digging through my grandmother’s recipe box, hoping to find inspiration for a post this week, I came across “Gold Rush Griddle Cookies” and my heart warmed. . . Since I was a kid (early 1970s, that is), my mom made these as breakfast treats. I’m not sure if she found the recipe first, or…

New England Clam Chowda

May 18, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

New England Clam Chowder

When you grow up in New England, you usually gain a fondness for seafood since it’s prevalent, fresh and really delicious. So that’s where my love of clam ‘chowda’ began. . . But before we go any further, I feel it’s important to qualify myself. When I talk about New England clam chowder (a.k.a. chowda),…

Whoopie Pies

May 27, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

In New England, Whoopie Pies are a favorite treat and, as a kid, my brother and I got very excited when my mom made a batch.  Who wouldn’t love moist, chocolate cake with a sweet, creamy filling?  I’d take one of these over a plain old Devil Dog any day. Whoopie Pies originated from the Amish.  Lore…
