“Family Flick Night” Gift Pack Giveaway
November 29, 2010 by 211 Comments
How does going to the movies for FREE sound to you? Sounds good, uh? I don't know about you but I don't remember the last time my family and I went to the movies. Number one reason: It's quite expensive, especially when there's five people going. Between the movie tickets, popcorn, drinks for everyone AND candy, the price of a movie outing can easily cost approximately $60 (depending where you live). You know for $60, you can buy a few bags of groceries, right? That is exactly why I … [Read more...]
Shout-Out Sunday – 11/28
November 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! 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 … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Guineos En Escabeche (Sabroso Saturday)
November 27, 2010 by 28 Comments
When I was pregnant with my son, I didn't get too many cravings but when I did, let me tell you, they were very strong. They were so strong that it was all I thought about. I wasn't that "crazy" pregnant woman that would send her husband to the store at 3 in the morning to get chocolate or whatever the craving was. I was patient, in a way. I did drink milk every single day because that was one of the things I craved and it was not because it was good for me or the baby. The one thing that … [Read more...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 25, 2010 by 2 Comments
By now, everyone has eaten their Thanksgiving meal and are probably comatose like my husband. I was almost there but I fought it. Anyway, I wanted to stop and take some time to tell everyone what I'm thankful for this year (in no particular order) This year I'm thankful... For my family - You love and support me unconditionally and are there for me when I need someone to talk to or a shoulder to lean on. For my friends - Both real and virtual. Thank you for being you. And because of … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Sausage Stuffing (Sabroso Saturday)
November 20, 2010 by 16 Comments
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...]
Celebrating Strawberry Shortcake’s 30th Birthday at Alice’s Tea Cup
November 19, 2010 by 3 Comments
(photo credit) Wow! Can you believe the cute little red-headed Strawberry Shortcake is 30 years old? I'm shocked! I had no idea I was older than her! Boo Hoo! ;) I've always love Strawberry Shortcake ever since I could remember. I had the doll in my possession when I was 5 years old and she would go everywhere with me. I would even fall asleep sniffing her hair. I was so obsessed with the doll that one year I was even Strawberry Shortcake for Halloween back when the costumes came in … [Read more...]
I Won An iPad!
November 18, 2010 by 7 Comments
Ha! ...in my dreams. Okay, seriously, I had a dream that I won an iPad last night. I woke up this morning so happy but than I realize it was just a dream. Boo hoo! Ever since its debut, I've been dreaming about owning an iPad. I've heard some people say it's just an iPod Touch but bigger. Well of course it is but it's much better! The screen is humongous and it's just the right size to view movies, which I love to do. Can you tell I want one really bad? Hopefully I get a chance to … [Read more...]
