SUMMER SALAD

The most refreshing fruits and vegetables come together for this colorful and flavorful salad that’s perfect for lunch or a light side dish.

By Ashley Daniels If you’re from in and around the New Haven, Connecticut, area, pizza is what you live, eat and breathe. In a town nationally recognized for its pies, you never settle for less than the best.

EYE FOR DESIGN

Lauren Wilbun creates oneof-a-kind experiences through her al fresco dining business, Collective Law.

By Emory Rakeshaw After Lauren Wilbun (aka Law) graduated from Johnson & Wales University in 2015, she interned at Gigi’s Cupcakes.

Even after a total career change, ironically, these days her alarm is usually set for 2:30 am.
