Rave for La Posada

I agree with your review. We tried La Posada after a trip to Penzey's. It was delicious.

Take-out for 30 in Waltham or Newton?

when I worked in the area we had many dinners and lunches catered by Baker's Best in Newton. Delish. Great variety. And they deliver.

First Trip to New Orleans

I will be staying in New Orleans with my BF during the week (Tues-Friday) later in the month.

I am looking for some recommendations of restaurants that won't break the bank. Where to go when you don't want to spend $150 for a dinner for two but still want a nice, delicious meal for lunch or dinner? We'll probably go for one "splurge" dinner but the rest of the trip would like to be more price conscious.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Favorite Barefoot Contessa Recipes?

Someone posted the two lemon cake recipes (regular and reduced fat). There is no butter at all in the yogurt-based one. Has anyone tried it? Thanks.

It's fantastic! Tart and moist and so delicious. It was super easy to make too.
I'm not a chocolate fan so this is my idea of a terrific dessert.

Favorite Barefoot Contessa Recipes?

I made Parker's Beef Stew over the weekend and it was FABULOUS! So rich and flavorful. My boyfriend raved over it. I can't wait to make it again. I highly recommend it.
I made the orange cranberry scones from that same episode. Another hit.
The lemon cake mentioned earlier was also fantastic. Made that for dessert during the football playoffs.
