Have you ever gone to a website and you simply can’t find what you’re looking for? Or as soon as you get to a website’s landing page you get super irritated because of the pop-ups that keep interrupting you? (Ugh, I hate those!) Or how about when you’re navigating through a website and you quickly […]
Everyone is talking about mental health in some fashion right now. Covid has really made us take a hard look at every single aspect of our lives, cultures and well-being. And as a result, a spotlight has been shone on mental health and on the impact this life-altering event has had one everyone.

I had the mouth-watering pleasure of having Julien’s of Millbrook, NY, appear on my Instagram feed some months ago. Since then I’ve had it on my must-do-list to stop by and try their offerings. Their Instagram feed (and website images for that matter) looks deee-licious! But before we get into that, let me start by […]
There’s a new BBQ joint in the Hudson Valley. Claverack, NY, to be more precise. For those of us who grew up with the Eskimo Bar at the intersection of Route 23 and 9H, the day that the Eskimo Bar closed down was a sad one. It was to my great surprise that I learned […]

It’s been awhile since I initially shared with all of you that I signed up for Noom and was giving that a whirl. Well, I’ve since finished my three-month sign-up, and it was quite interesting. Though I may not have seen weight loss in terms of lbs, I took away something more important. Noom’s whole […]
The pandemic hasn’t slowed Body Be Well Pilates of Red Hook, NY, down any! Like so many of our local (and national and global) businesses, adapt-adjust-persevere is what we have all had to do. And Body Be Well has done just that. Now, with the help of an Internet connection and a free app, you […]
I realized some years ago that I really enjoy making soup. Sure, I can make chicken noodle soup – which is not my best. I make a pretty great beef and hearty veggie stew, as well as soups that use either one or both cauliflower and broccoli. So on a chilly mid-April day I decided […]
I’ve had a busy couple of weeks in the kitchen … I never thought I’d be saying those words! But it even got to the point that I said to my husband, “Maybe I should write a cookbook called ‘My Quarantine Cookbook’?” Perhaps not a horrible idea, since I think I’ve stumbled upon some great […]
