Have you ever had a “perfect food” moment? You know, the point in time where the food you are consuming could not be more suiting for your current condition? For me, this often coincides with the weather. Crunchy, satisfying salads for hot Summer nights and hearty soups and casseroles in the Winter. So what is [...]
I couldn’t leave New York City without making a trip to Greenwich Village for Magnolia Bakery’s Cupcakes. I have been their once before (and waited in a line that went around the corner the first time I stopped by) and was captured by the charm of the quaint bakery that has a BIG reputation. For [...]
On our last day in New York City, it rained, and rained, and rained some more. BUMMER! We had a free afternoon, and were lucky enough to be able to take a tour of NBC Studios, and see Mama Mia! Both were so much fun, and we were happy to be indoors and out of [...]
On Wednesday morning, I woke up to sunshine, a blue sky and mild temperature in NYC. My dad and I enjoy running, so we took advantage of the rare weather conditions, and ventured out to Central Park. In such a crazy and busy city, this plot of land provides some serenity. It was absolutely beautiful. [...]
The Iguana Restaurant in New York City is Mexican done right… times infinity. I come from a family of differing tastes, and after our meal at Iguana we each left with words of praise. The food was fresh, innovative, and extremely flavorful. The service matched the high standard of food; they were attentive and went [...]
AHH!!! I’ve been internet deprived, but did not forget about my blog. I have a few posts from the last three days so keep checking back!! DAY 1: My family and I don’t travel to New York City often, so upon arrival we wanted two things: deli sandwiches and pizza. For a late lunch we [...]
Lately, I feel as if I have been bitten by the travel bug. I constantly think of the foreign lands I want to adventure to, the sights I want to see and the food I have been dying to experience. I have read about European cheeses, French wine, distinguished Italian flavors and Greek cuisine but [...]
I am by no means a vegetarian, but from time to time I do appreciate a good tofu or tempeh protein source in my meal. I have to emphasize the word “good” because I have had some bad tofu experiences in the past where it was over cooked or poorly flavored. Tofu essentially takes on [...]
Okay, okay, I’ve had fennel before, but I’ve never cooked with it. I was almost in hysterics when I was purchasing this large bulb with woody stems protruding out of the bag. It just looks so goofy but looks are often deceiving, and it tastes fantastic. It’s not what you would expect, it has a [...]
Since it was my last day before giving up caffeine for 40 days and 40 nights, I decided to have a final soy black tea latte from home-sweet-Starbucks. I wanted something sweet after lunch (as if my lunch wasn’t sweet enough!) and it truly hit the spot. When I was there, I spotted the “Happy [...]
