Though the traditional cool-down of fall is yet to transpire (please recycle, y’all!), it is always a good time to spice things up with our friends at Boston Spice. Even though fall is not yet evident, the annual tradition of apple picking has already kicked off at many local farms. As many see him as […]
I have long been a fan of Veteran-run companies and even longer a fan of condiments. That is why I love to sing the praises of True Made Foods! Not only are many of their low- and no-sugar sauces (including those at Fenway and Nationals Park) made with vegetables that can be snuck into even
We have used many words for food over the years, but here are two I have not heard together before- jelly and alcohol! I have been a fan of PB&J since I was a kid, but now that I am…older, I sometimes seek a more sophisticated sweetener for my legumated lunch. That is why I
As I talk about food so much, it stands to reason that I have a lot in my house. As a result, food waste is a BIG concern. Fortunately, I am not alone in my desire to stem the tide on the billions of pounds and dollars that are wasted every year when perfectly usable
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

I am very much looking forward to interviewing True Made Foods founder and proud Veteran Abe Kamarck as the first piece of my new radio series – Matt Robinson’s Vetrepreneurs© – which is scheduled
For those of you who did not catch their fin-ny feature on the hit show Hot Ones (check around minute 11) or hear me raving about how good their sauces are and how much good they do for the environment and the oceans, there will soon be another chance to eat the heat and try
Since the latest (and potentially hottest) Boston Hot Sauce Festival wrapped up, many area heat seekers may be coming down from their habanero high. Fortunately, nobody told our friends at Spicy Shark! In their continuing quest for the best and the brightest mouth igniters, the NH-based sauce bosses have taken a page from an ancient
I am a big fan of maple and a BIG fan of Branon Family Maple Orchards’ organic maple products. From their organic maple-to-go packs (which have saved me from many gallons of high-fructose corn syrup at various restaurants) to their maple Buffalo sauce, Maple Barbeque Sauce, maple-based seasonings, and maple bourbon vinegar, everything they make
