Spring has sprung

It is the middle of March as I write this and 67 degrees! Weather enthusiasts would call this a false spring yet signs of the season are all around. In the widening circles of soggy brown earth, tree bark is radiating warmth as it absorbs the sunshine and melts the surrounding snow.

Cooking safety starts at home

Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention. This national campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take when cooking to keep themselves and those around them safe.

Up, up and away!

Dr. Laura Doherty, a local dentist, spoke at the March Men’s Breakfast gathering about her recently completed Women’s Air Race Classic. Very entertaining and fun.

Special blueberry muffins

This special recipe comes from my mom, Mary Cook. Served in the original Jordan Marsh store in Boston, these muffins were always a family favorite. As spring arrives, they’re such a delightful addition to any breakfast, brunch, or holiday gathering—and now blueberries are plentiful in our grocery stores year-round. Enjoy!
