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! If you want to join in on the WW fun (would love it if you do ), please link up your post below. I would love to see your Wordless Wednesday photo! Thank you and have a … [Read more...]
Excuse My Blog While I Get Things Fixed
November 17, 2010 by
As you can see, my blog has changed -- just a tad. I decided on buying a new theme because I was told my site was too slow to load and things didn't look so good. So I went ahead and bought the Headway Theme. Why did I choose Headway over Thesis (heard so much about this theme)? I saw that Headway was much easier to tweak and mess around with because of its point, click and drag option with a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) format. I'm not an HTML or CSS expert at all. I know … [Read more...]

Shout-Out Sunday – 11/14
November 14, 2010 by 2 Comments
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 have … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Flan Cheesecake (Sabroso Saturday)
November 13, 2010 by 1 Comment
When the holidays come around, I crave anything that is rich and creamy like cheesecakes and flans. I came across this recipe while browsing through one of my favorite sites, Pioneer Woman. She's a great photographer, a mom and her recipe photos are just amazing. She has tons of recipes but for some reason, I always go to her dessert archives first. As soon as I saw the recipe for a caramel pumpkin gingersnap cheesecake, I told my husband I have the prefect recipe for Thanks giving (this … [Read more...]

Febreze Home Collection Wooden Wick Candles | Review
November 9, 2010 by 4 Comments
Imagine this: Sitting by a cozy, warm crackling fire with a nice, warm mug of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows. How's that for a vision? With that in mind, I can only wish for a fireplace because unfortunately we bought a house without one. It wasn't a top choice for us but now when we receive our dreadful oil bill, we regret not finding a home with a fireplace. But that's okay. With the brand new Febreze Home Collection Wooden Wick Candles, I can close my eyes with my mug … [Read more...]
