I have long loved promoted a company called Colletty’s Cookies that is run by a young woman with Down syndrome named Collette Divitto. Since I last sang her praises, she has not only expanded her delicious line of tasty treats, she has also made many strides that other entrepreneurs can only dream of! In addition to getting […]
As we get ready for another reboot of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (as if we need anything better than the legendary Gene Wilder!), the idea of finding a “golden ticket” that allows its bearer access to a magical food-related wonderland will be swimming in more than just a heads of children everywhere. And while Wonka Bars
There is so much information out there about so-called “superfoods” that are supposed to help keep you healthier or even improve your body, mind, and spirit. And while we love examples like IQBAR, Flava Naturals, Forij, and even items from Boston legends like Harpoon Beer and South Street Diner, what they have in common more
I love to support Veteran businesses and I also love to support those who give back to their community, so I LOVE talking about Chris Wysong at Bucket of Bread! As he was intricately involved in Operation Provide Comfort in Iraq, it may be no surprise that Wysong now makes his mark on society by

Have we had enough of the headaches that come with the so-called “season of peace” yet?! From getting assignments in on time (as I ALWAYS do!) and keeping track of who gave which twin what gift and whether they wrote “thank you” cards (as THEY always do!) to trying to deal with all the un-peace
As Senator Mitt Romney prepares to step away from politics, there are rumors circulating that one of his reasons is so he can spend more time at Crumbl cookies in Utah. Don’t worry, Your Excellency- Crumbl has over 800 stores in the U.S., including Cambridge, Dedham, Natick, West Springfield, and the most recent area opening in Dorchester!
Though it is the home of the dramatically-inclined Beastie Boy progenitor Israel Horowitz and the Berklee-bound hero of the Academy Award-winning film Coda, and was a regular hang for legendary singer/songwriter Laura Nyro, Gloucester (which is also home to our friends at Pigeon Cove Ferments) may be better known for its fish sticks than its
Veterans Day may be over, but that does not mean that we should forget all that our brave men and women in uniform give us every day. That is why I am so grateful for our colleagues at the Veterans Voice Network (on which I talk with many of the same great Veteran entrepreneurs we
While any of the items I discuss on Matt’s Meals can make for a great gift (if even for yourself!), I recently found a local maker who can solve pretty much any holiday giving jam. In fact, jam is the source of the solution! Starting with a parental promise to spread sweetness, Holly Condon started
