Total City Girl
Last week I had the biggest urge for tortilla soup. Maybe it was because Cinco De Mayo was coming up but whatever the case, I HAD TO have some! I really wanted the tortilla soup from Chevy’s but since I’m not in ordering distance to a Chevy’s I knew if I wanted some, I [...]
Here in Riverdale, it’s a big deal when a new restaurant opens. For months we were seeing the “Coming Soon” signs in great anticipation. Yo Burger has been open now for a while but it’s still new enough that people are still asking “Have you tried Yo Burger yet? The girls and I had our [...]
Last week the girls were off for Spring Break. It was a week that started with a daily question – “Mom, what are we doing today?” It was one activity after another – Passover, Easter, Bronx Zoo, Botanical Gardens, until finally we hit the city! My kind of activity! My friend Karen wanted us to [...]
Yesterday I told you about my daughter’s Creative Arts birthday party. In our home, the kids get a 3 part birthday – a birthday party with friends, class birthday celebration and family dinner.

I hear this little thing called the Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday. Woo Hoo!! Honestly, I know NOTHING about it! I’m probably the least sportsy person you’ll ever meet. Besides having no interest in football, I don’t understand it at all. It’s not just football though, it’s really any team sport. I guess [...]
Last night I was up baking cupcakes for my daughter’s teacher who is leaving on maternity leave today. Every time I have a baking project I always say to myself that I don’t want to be up until midnight working on these things. Sure enough, I was! I wanted to keep these really simple. [...]
I wanted to share my favorite salad with you guys. It’s really delicious and super easy to make. I have it for lunch about twice a week. It could easily be split in 2 – great for sharing, however I manage to finish it all by myself. YUM! First we start with a HAAS avocado [...]
The temperature just dropped drastically here in NY and it is FUH-REEEEEZING!!! The perfect weather for a big ol’ pot of soup! Roasted Butternut Squash Soup to be more exact. This is the soup I mentioned I made at Thanksgiving. Today I’m going to show you how easy it is to make. Hopefully you’ll try [...]
