From Mexican to greasy spoons to farm-to-table fine dining, restaurants in the state of Vermont to travel like a local.
Pie fixes everything, I’m convinced! From pie shacks and sheds, to bakeries and diners, here are the best places to find amazing fruit pies – blueberry pie, raspberry pie, apple pie, peach pies – and cream pies – maple cream pie, key lime pie, chocolate cream pie, peanut […]
There’s something super comforting about a warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven donut on a leisurely Sunday morning during stick season, especially with snow flurries whirling around! Whether you’re a classicist when it comes to donuts, preferring jelly or glazed, or more adventurous, with a maple cream or downright funky flavor, here […]
The best way to complete a delicious Thanksgiving meal is with a locally made Thanksgiving pie (that is better than one you could ever make for yourself) – who’s with me? I am a big fan of getting a few variety of Thanksgiving pies. I typically pick up […]
Fall in Vermont means pumpkin-spice everything… Cinnamon buns, muffins, pancakes, cookies, and of course, coffee! But where can we support small businesses, cafes, and coffee roasters by sipping delicious local pumpkin spice lattes in Vermont? Vermont coffee shops are whipping up their own spice mixes and pumpkin syrups […]
Creemees are a highlight of Vermont summer for many, but who says creemees in Vermont are for warm weather only? Through the end of October, you can find fall creemee flavors at these stores and stands. Or, discover a list of a local shops or stores below where […]
The best sweet treat of fall has arrived at orchards across Vermont: the apple cider donut. This is my favorite type of donut, and I love traveling around the state for nuanced taste tests of them all – some sugared, some not. Cider donuts are definitely the tastiest […]
It’s no secret that Hen of the Wood is my favorite restaurant in Vermont. For years, it has been on my Vermont bucket list to have dinner in the acclaimed Butcher Room, a private dining experience for 6-12 on a butcher-block table off of the kitchen at Hen. […]
I spend a lot of time oogling over new, inventive dishes from Vermont restaurants. I’m a fan of all kinds of Vermont eateries and the dishes they put love. I love the road-side sandwich shop to farm-to-table fine-dining to everything in between, including quality take-out for a date […]
My husband and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in the traditional sense. You see, one of the biggest real estate conferences (yes, I’m a Vermont Realtor if you need one!) I attend is always on or over Valentine’s Day weekend. We typically do something informal during the week… […]
I love under-the-radar restaurants, especially ones with no good reason for being under-the-radar. Junction, located at the Essex Resort & Spa in Essex, Vermont, is one of these unique eateries. Lucky for us, the interactive restaurant is within a few miles drive of where we live. Over the […]
For years now, I’ve been following what Chloe and Wesley Genovart, owners of SoLo Farm to Table in Londonderry, Vermont, have been up to. I remember being super excited to try their family-friendly, roadside eatery Honeypie in Rawsonville, Vermont, when it opened in 2016. Life speeds up and […]
One of the best things about living in Vermont is the epic road tripping potential. I love hopping in the car without a destination in mind. Pick a route you’ve never travelled before. Venture toward a part of the state you haven’t spent much time in. Ensure you […]
We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, aside from maybe a punny card… “I Whale Always Love You.” “You’ve Got a Pizza My Heart.” “I Love You a Latte.” You get the idea. Instead, we prioritize new experiences and adventures in Vermont throughout the year. Simply put, I can’t wait […]
One of my favorite Facebook messages to receive is this: “Erin, it’s our {enter special occasion here}. We need your recommendation for the best Vermont restaurants to celebrate!” This happens frequently. I always throw out ideas for my favorite Vermont restaurants for special occasions across the state. Some […]
Someone asked me yesterday which I prefer: Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks. My answer? Neither. In Vermont—specifically the Burlington area—we have so many options for locally roasted coffee that I never find myself dropping by a coffee chain for a caffeine fix. When it comes to coffee, I don’t […]
