What’s in Season?

Goat Cheese Chevre, that fresh, creamy, piquant, almost-painfully-white goat cheese, doesn’t need a lot of fuss to be enjoyed – pair it with a little honey and arugula on a piece of whole grain toast for a simple and satisfying lunch. Lucky for us, fresh, locally produced and organic goat cheeses are readily available in [...]
Setting the Bar: Lombardino’s
February 19, 2008 by Sarah Klein · Leave a Comment
[ratings] It’s no secret to those who know me that Lombardino’s is my favorite restaurant in Madison. And for good reason – their food is delicious! But beyond the basic epicurean delights they provide, Lombardino’s also tries to bring seasonality and local products into each of their ever-changing menus. Their current, late-winter menu is a [...]
Madison, Unearthed
February 17, 2008 by Katie Stephenson · 1 Comment
Driving in my old ‘hood this weekend, I decided to stop by one of my favorite home decor spots: Unearthed. The little shop opened at its new location across from Lombardino’s restaurant last summer. Unearthed was previously located upstairs in the now defunct Hue Gallery on Monroe. Shop owner Heidi Anderson has put together an [...]

Dark chocolate fulfills the palate and the soul! Plus, it’s heart-healthy. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids that have cardioprotective properties, namely epicatechin and gallic acid.

The heart is a very special organ as it is the center of joy, love, appreciation, gratitude and generosity. You don’t say, “I love you with all of my kidney”, do you? Nurturing the heart [...]
Makeover Monday
February 11, 2008 by Katie Stephenson · 3 Comments
Who doesn’t love a great makeover? Whether it’s home/garden/makeup/wardrobe, there’s always something fun about seeing the before along with the after. My favorite home makeovers don’t involve gutting/remodeling and tens of thousands of dollars. I’m much more taken by the gifted homeowner that can take a problem situation and come up with a clever and [...]
Eating for Energy

Have you ever run out of toothpaste? You squeeze the tube from every angle, roll it up from the bottom, just trying to pinch the last bit out. The amount of energy you have each day is a lot like your toothpaste: it’s an essential part of taking care of yourself. With toothpaste, though, if [...]
Setting the Bar
February 8, 2008 by Sarah Klein · 3 Comments
My husband and I really enjoy eating at the bar of our favorite restaurants. There are many reasons: no reservations needed; it’s more casual and laid-back; there is a convivial feeling when sitting at the bar; and most importantly you avoid the No. 1 pitfall of dining: the bad server who either interrupts the meal [...]
