Coffee Talk and a Giveaway for a New K-Cup Countertop Storage Drawer #YourPerfectCup
February 13, 2013 by 97 Comments
I've confessed my love for coffee numerous times before. I've even had my blog redone with a coffee theme because I'm that obsessed with coffee. It's something I look forward to every morning and (confession time) multiple times throughout the day. As soon as the aroma hits my nose, I immediately become mesmerized. The smell of good, fresh brewed coffee is one of the best scents in the world, in my opinion. I remember when I was about 6 years old, my abuela (grandmother) would serve me café … [Read more...]

Thanks to Walgreens and The Motherhood, they are giving away a $50 Walgreens gift card to ONE lucky New York Chica reader. The rules … [Read more...]
Creating Recipes with Flatout Hungry Girl Foldit Flatbreads. #Flatouthot
January 22, 2013 by 34 Comments
When I think about creating recipes for my family, I usually wing it. Whatever I have on-hand is usually what I work with. It can't be too complicated or difficult to make and it must be simple and easy so I can feed my family of five quickly. Most of the time, I'd like to have dinner on the table within an hour, so whatever makes my life easier, that's the route I'm taking! When The Motherhood invited me to participate in their Flatout program with Walgreens, I immediately said yes. First of … [Read more...]

Last Post of The Year – Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!
December 31, 2012 by 6 Comments
I know this blog has had many crickets these past few months. It's not my fault. I still love to blog. But it's just that I'm one tired mommy who wants to come home after a hard day's work and just spend time with my family. And the funny part is that I have about 20 titles ready for my little ol' blog so it's not like I don't have anything to say here -- I have LOTS to say. I just need time. Time is a major factor for me. I'm sure it's a major factor for everyone but some people know … [Read more...]
A Thousand Years Younger.
December 16, 2012 by 6 Comments
Today's my birthday. I'm a thousand years younger - according to my 7 year old. It's actually something she said when I came home last Thursday from getting my hair highlighted, cut and straighten. As soon as I got home, she shouted, "Mommy, you look a thousand years younger"! I thought that was so cute. My kids rarely see me with my hair straighten. Honestly, I rarely get my hair done professionally. The last time I went to a salon was over a year ago. After I get my hair done, I vow … [Read more...]

Right after Halloween, people all over start planning for the holidays. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I've been planning our menu for weeks now. Even though it's basically the same menu every year, this year is going to be a little different. If you've been a regular reader of New York Chica then you'll remember that a couple of years ago I wrote a post about not including cranberries in our menu because no one in my household eats cranberries, especially in sauce. But this year I decided to … [Read more...]
