The food and dining scene at the Princeton Shopping Center is about to get sweeter. LiLLiPiES Bakery, a longtime fixture and favorite at area farmers’ markets and cafés, will open for business on July 1.

I can already hear you groaning. Does anybody still eat creamed dried beef (aka “chipped beef” or “s–t on a shingle”)? This was a childhood favorite of mine, and then I forgot about it for many years. And when I did think of it, I couldn’t stand the idea of all the salt and chemicals … Continue reading

Bostock Rocked My World I’m not exactly sure where I first came across bostock, but I believe it was at either salon.com or the kitchn.com.

Thanks a lot Bradley Koltz! Your January 10 Business Highlights column tipped me off the the new bakery near me in Montgomery, Dessert Boutique. They are right across from ShopRite, and open daily (check their facebook page for exact hours). So, I can blame you for the calories, right? But, in truth, I really do thank you because this … Continue reading
This is delicious! And it was so pretty, like sunshine in a bowl! I am not usually a cold cereal person, but I couldn’t resist trying this. I noticed Seitenbacher Müsli # 3 at McCaffrey’s market. Sure, there were other numbers, but 3 beckoned to me. “Pick me,” it whispered, “I am for active people and have … Continue reading
