**I wrote this post almost one year ago and realized I never posted! One year ago today, on my way back from Morocco, I was gallivanting around Paris, hitting up all of my favorite spots, so I thought it was only right to share my take on what to do if you ever find yourself with 7 hours to spare in Paris!When life gives you lemons….take an…
A couple of weeks ago when my pumpkin-chocolate caramel bark didn’t quite turn out as expected, I got the crazy idea in my head that it would be perfect baked into a cookie. A snickerdoodle at that! After poking around the web, I couldn’t believe how much flour/sugar/butter was in the typical snickerdoodle recipe. It seemed so unnecessary. So I adapted the below, adding pumpkin,…
It’s Wednesday, we’re T-minus 9 days until Thanksgiving! Where’s the wine??? I’ve been drinking….but nothing of note. I’ll work on that next week at home and report back. I’ve had a friend in town so we’ve been eating….here, here, and here, all of my go-to’s and favorites and must trys if you’re coming to NY. In the meantime, I found this article with suggested wine…
I know I know, another blogger with another pumpkin recipe! But wait, don’t run just yet, trust me, you’ll want to make this! Zucchini noodles with pumpkin rosemary sauce and spicy sausage. It starts with zucchini noodles, such genius! Since giving up gluten I’ve made these a staple, and they really do the trick. Plus you can have an entire plate and not feel…
Last weekend cousin Augusta and I jetted off to Montreal for a little girls weekend away. I seriously missed our epic Montauk weekends so it felt so great to get out of the city. It was a quick 45 hour weekend, but we certainly packed it all in, despite cancelled flights BOTH ways. By Sunday night when we found our our flight was cancelled it…
Happy Wednesday! With the recent weather in NYC, seems like we’re skipping fall and heading straight into winter, it’s freezing! Thank goodness I’ll be in California in 2 weeks to thaw out and relish in hopefully mild fall temps before really jumping into the cold (but maybe I shouldn’t jinx it)! One upside to the blustery weather is buckling down with a yummy bottle of…
After Cabo, I hopped on a plane and headed to Santa Barbara, CA. My mom, Auntie Nie-Nie and Jen picked me up at the airport as they drove down from Napa, making a stop at Hearst Castle on the way. We spent 3 days in Santa Barbara with highlights including walks along the ocean, antique shopping in Summerland, lunch at the honeymoon spot of JFK…
How is it Wednesday already?? Time is flying! 3 weeks until Thanksgiving, what wine are we going to serve?? In the meantime, I came across an interesting article celebrating the pleasure of drinking wine. My goal with “Wine Wednesdays” is to attempt to demystify wine, build a taste profile, and explore what I like/don’t like about wines, and in turn hopefully make wine a…
My dear friend Blair gave us the reason to convene in Cabo for her special b-day. Blair was one of my first good friends in NY, and sad for me, recently moved back to the Bay Area. We stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Rose in Cabo San Lucas. United miles and a bit of luck landed me a first class seat from NYC to…
Today is my Mom’s birthday, Hi Mom, I know you’re reading! It’s a big one! Hard to believe that 10 years ago, following my SAT test, I came home and threw her a surprise birthday party. Sadly I can’t be with her in person to celebrate today, but we will surely keep the celebrations going well into the new year. Mom – I love you…
