Food Friday: Ess-a-bagel

When it comes to breakfast, New York City is the city of bagels.  New York prides itself on the bagel – the perfect, filling breakfast for on-the-go New Yorkers.  I personally stopped eating bagels once I read that calorie wise, one bagel is equal to five slices of bread (yikes!),...

Food Friday: Spicy Caramel Brownies

Remember when I lost my mind and made Thanksgiving dinner completely on my own? That was fun.  If you do happen to recall that wonderful 8-10 hour ordeal, then you probably remember the fact that there was one item on my overzealous menu that I did not get a chance...

Food Friday: SoBou in New Orleans

Happy February! I’ve decided to write a new weekly post about my second favorite love (after travel): food.  In my opinion, food can be just as transporting as travel and is often times an integral part of learning about a destination.  Unlike some avid eaters, I like to eat...

Holiday Travels

Merry belated Christmas!!  First of all let me start out by saying how happy I am to be at a computer.  I have basically been computer-less since Sunday, December 23rd and although this will prove how dependent I am on my tech toys, I have been going NUTS.  I’ve...

I survived.

I just wanted to get that out-of-the-way in case you were worried.  How was your Thanksgiving?? Mine was highly caloric and wonderful and I hope yours was as well.  In my last post I discussed my extensive menu and I’m proud to say that I prepared almost everything on...

Great Expectations

I’m hosting our Thanksgiving this year. Hence the title of this post.  I will admit that I lucked out in the sense that I will only be cooking for myself, my aunt, and my mother (if you have no place to eat this holiday, come join us!), but the...

Alpine luxury at Montage Deer Valley

Hello from NYC! Today begins a series of posts from my trip to Park City, Utah. Since I’ve returned and even before I left, a lot of people have asked me why I chose to go to Utah for vacation. Other than the fact that Utah is a state...

Beautiful October

Happy October! Welcome to my favorite month of the year. Everything about October is so quintessentially fall to me. The leaves start to change, the weather gets cooler and stays that way (I can finally take my AC out of the window…YES), pumpkin and apple flavored anything, and stores...

Travel Tuesday: The Queen City

I was fortunate enough to have a bit of work travel this week that brought me to the lovely city of Charlotte, North Carolina.  North Carolina will always have a special place in my heart because I attended college at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (go...

Feels like Fall…

I know I probably shouldn’t be talking about the fall as it is clearly still summertime and I should appreciate it because autumn in New York lasts for about 20 minutes before turning straight into winter.  That said, I’ve noticed over the past week a small dip in temperatures,...
