Foodie Hub, an international food blogging site that I’m affiliated with, asked me for a rundown on Connecticut pizza and I was only too happy to oblige. I needed an accessory stomach for this one, so I brought along my ever-willing friend, Chris Steiner. We chowed our way around Connecticut for our top ten pizza picks. Here’s my list, separated into Old School (classic Neapolitan pie) and New School (modern takes on New Haven pizza). Pizza Please A Perfect Tiny Kitchen Chalk it up to empty-nesting, but I’m smitten with minute, well-designed spaces. And my friends Rob Robillard and Addison Van Ness have been happily living in one, long before tiny became trendy. Purchased as a summer cottage, it’s now their year-round home. And while the original kitchen had charm, these avid cooks and bakers needed more counter space and storage. A gut renovation a couple of years ago accomplished just that, and more...

We compiled their answers into a handy list of everyone you need to put your home to rights. Click below for the list.

A yogurt, some dry cereal, nothing too exciting. But weekend breakfast, now you’re talking. Crepes. Gluten-free pancakes. Frittatas. With offerings this tasty, you won’t even mind waiting in line for a table. We checked out a few top spots. Breakfast! Eliza's Little House Every time I walk into my friend Eliza’s guest house, I dream of jettisoning all my junk. It’s a perfect tiny haven. The century old barn was moved to the property by previous owners in the fifties, and spent the next half century as a two- car garage. But Eliza saw potential. One of the brains behind Trellis Home, a CT based home decor website, it’s an understatement to say she has vision. She ripped the interior back to the studs, exposing gorgeous old beams and lofty ceilings. Next came reclaimed barnboard floors, a teeny but functional soapstone clad... Little House p.s.
