Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
One of Mike’s favorite places to go in New York City is Little Italy…I have no idea why, other than the fact that he’s watched The Godfather a few (hundred) times too many. I really have no objection though, since it’s just around the corner from both SoHo and Chinatown, two places I love to meander through. Last time we were in NYC we found ourselves hungry in Little Italy and craving pizza…since we’ve never been, we had no choice but to check out Lombardi’s. ;)…
Mike and I recently went to New York City and I wanted to share a few pictures we took around town. Hope you enjoy them!...
Before Mike and I headed to NYC I did a little research on the infamous cupcake culture of New York. Magnolia is the obvious choice when you’re in the midst of New York with a cupcake craving, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. The biggest offenses I’ve heard about Magnolia’s cupcakes are that they overpriced (which is to be expected…what isn’t overpriced in New York City?) and dry. I can live with an occasional overpriced cupcake…but a dry cupcake? Definitely not worth the calories. If I’m going to indulge in a calorie fest it better be worth every bite (am I right, ladies?). And trust me, if I’m […]...
I live for love cheese, so you can imagine my surprise and delight when I found out that there was a highly recommended fromagerie (called Artisanal) only a couple blocks from the hotel were Mike and I were staying in New York City. The instant I found out, I called to see if they could squeeze us in, and we were able to go for a very late lunch/early dinner that same day! Now before I continue, I have to tell you that Mike is not a lover of cheese. He will eat some cheeses – four kinds, to be exact: Syrian twisted cheese called shalal (which tastes similar to mozzarella but is much […]...
Before our recent trip to New York City, Mike had never been to Serendipity 3. I’ve been a few times in the past and have always enjoyed it so we decided to go. It’s somewhat of a tourist trap (but who doesn’t love the movie, right?) so I made reservations, which are available for lunch and dinner. We were both glad for the reservation since there was a pretty long line and the host was telling people it would at least 30 minutes for a table. The restaurant is cute (but definitely cramped) and the décor is ice cream parlor-ish with a girly flair. We […]...

I want to share with you, I was thrilled when Frigidaire’s Accessories Store recently asked to feature one of my recipes on their website. This store sells home appliances as well as an array of other products that include cooking tools like bakeware, pots and pans, cutlery, and food prep tools. I submitted my recipe for Cherry Jam (my new favorite meal accessory ;) ) and it should be posted soon on the recipe section of their website! Girard’s Salad Dressings recently contacted me to ask if I would be interested in receiving a few of their salad dressings to try. I happily agreed and […]...
