Strawberry Syrup
by Eileen Glanton Loftus on May 03, 2011 in Breakfast, Condiments, Featured, Photos, Recipes
It’s a happy time of year when the grocery stores start selling two pounds of strawberries for the price of one. Strawberries are so delicious, and here in the Northeast, they’re a great harbinger of spring after our seemingly endless winters.

Take Back the Snack
by Eileen Glanton Loftus on June 03, 2010 in Recipes, Snacks
We suburban parents are quick to embrace the rituals of modern parenthood. We do yoga with our infants, we buy strollers fit to handle any terrain, and as soon as our kids are old enough, we sign them up for sports. We buy tiny cleats, perhaps a lawn chair for watching games from the sidelines. And we sign up to be “snack mom.”
