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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

On Saturday I had a table at a holiday gift fair at my daughters’ school promoting the last week of Holiday Mini Photo Sessions as well as having accordion books and photographs available for purchase.

Sometimes on the weekend if by some miracle my girls let me stay in bed a little while, I like to zone out and watch Food Network shows. This weekend I was able to catch a segment on Rachel Ray’s new show and she made Rice Pilaf With Chorizo. I hadn’t made Spanish food in [...]
Today I’m home cooking all day because tonight is the first night of Passover. My sister and her family are away so it’s just my family and my mom – a small crowd this year, however it doesn’t seem like we’re cooking any less. My mom is making her turkey. We LOVE her turkey. I’ve [...]
In our house, I make sure to serve vegetables at dinner every night. I try and switch it up a bit so we don’t get too bored. We refer to my older daughter as our “vegetable girl”. It started when she could first eat solid foods. I know most moms when starting their babies [...]
