Blueberry Scuffins and Vacation

Greetings from Martha’s Vineyard!!

I’m on my yearly getaway with my best friend and her family on the beautiful island that is Martha’s Vineyard.

Yes, we are at a house with wi-fi, but my urge to blog isn’t quite where it should be.  That said, there has been no shortage of blog-worthy food eaten so far!

Why do some foods taste SO much better on vacation??

Nothing special here, but these Garden Herb Triscuits with brie really hit the spot when we first arrived at the house after getting off the ferry.

Yes, you can toast a GIANT marshmallow over a gas grill

Grilled chicken & veggies, cereal with raspberries, and even Skinnygirl Margaritas all taste better on the Vineyard vacation.

Found a new bakery

And you will find my recipe HERE!  It’s my first/latest article as a Boston Healthy Foods Examiner! 

I just started contributing to examiner.com…I’m hoping to gain a little more experience writing and thought it would be perfect to focus on healthy foods! 

I’ll add this one to my recipe page soon! 

What “everyday” foods do you enjoy that much more on vacation??
