Shout-Out Sunday – 12/12

There’s a new trend here at New York Chica where I give a special Shout-Out to those bloggers who had a great post (at least I think so ) for the week. I wanted to show my readers that there are plenty of great writers/bloggers out in the blogosphere and giving props to fellow bloggers is a great way to give back to the blogging community. Since I started blogging in 2006 (2008 publicly), I’ve met so many good, sincere and accomplished bloggers like Niri and Kim who both … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Festive Snickerdoodle Cookie & Cocktail Recipe

Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices of all.  If it contains cinnamon, I'll try it.  I add cinnamon to almost anything with sugar. I add it to my coffee, pancake batter, teas, cornbread, cakes, ice cream and even hot chocolate.  The smell is divine and so is the color. You know my living room walls were painted a cinnamon color because the name of the color was, you guess it, cinnamon.  My husband says I'm obsessed but it's ok. I can live with that. At least its good for you. ;) I found … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions)

I remember visiting my grandparents every weekend when I was a little girl.  I was always filled with excitement when I knew we were going over.  My grandparents were my parent the first 3 months of my life because my mother got very sick after she had me.  I guess you can say that is the reason why I had a special bond with them -- not because they are my grandparents. My abuelo (grandfather) was the chef of the house.  He would always create the tastiest meals ever.  Everyone would come … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Sausage Stuffing (Sabroso Saturday)

I've been thinking about what to write for my Sabroso Saturday post all week long. Since I like to post easy recipes that anyone can do, I decided on the sausage stuffing that's equally delicious and very easy to make. This year will be my 7th year making it. My family and I can't wait to eat it. When it comes to stuffing, I don't really like too much going on in the stuffing like apples, oysters or even mushrooms (blah!). I'm not too fond of boxed stuffing either -- it's way too salty. So … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – Two Hearts Beat As One (add your linky)

While I was at Stop & Shop yesterday looking for some carrots, I turned around and spotted this thing. I thought what the heck is that? It looks like it's part Pumpkin and part squash. It was so odd looking I quickly thought of Wordless Wednesday. Doesn't it look like a mushroom? :D Happy Wordless Wednesday!
