Disclosure: I am a K-Cup Ambassador. Product was given for the purpose of this review. No monetary compensation was received. Have you heard the news? Coffee consumption is on the rise! Woo-hoo! Statistics show that about 8 in 10 Americans (83%) are coffee drinkers, up from 78% in 2012. Can I say I am not surprised? Coffee is good for the mind, body and soul. Being both a K-Cup Ambassador and a lover of coffee, knowing about those statistics is just music to my ears. I've owned a Keurig … [Read more...]

First Alert P1000 Atom Smoke Alarm Review
April 9, 2013 by 5 Comments
Did you know that over one-third (37 percent) of home fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms? That's a lot if you ask me. That is exactly why the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) recommends that smoke alarms be installed in every bedroom and on every level of a home. In addition, alarms should be tested on a monthly basis and batteries changed at least two times a year. If you have a bad memory like me, the best time to check your smoke alarms is during daylight savings time … [Read more...]

New year, new resolutions - isn't that the norm with practically everyone once the old year is over? I used to make New Year’s resolutions but I stopped. I noticed I wasn't keeping them (it was usually lose weight & eat right) and it got annoying. I was frustrated with myself for not sticking it through so I will not make any New Year’s resolutions. But...... I will say that I did vow to make better choices to start incorporating more fruits and vegetables into mine and my family’s … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]

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...]

My Keurig® brewer gets used and abused on a daily basis - sometimes a few times a day. I can't help it. I need my cup of java first thing in the morning and then when I get home from a LONG day's work. I NEED another cup when I get home just to get me through dinner, homework and bedtime rituals. Yes, I'm head over heels in love with my Keurig®. The day it dies (oh please NO!), I will be freaking out all over my social media channels. Oh yes I will. But I won't think about that right … [Read more...]

My kids are back in school and I'm sure I'm not the only happy, ok ECSTATIC parent about school finally starting. ;) We are on day two and I couldn't be more happier! After a long, boring summer, I'm so glad my kids are back to a schedule and to some well-needed structure. We couldn't do much this past summer because of my crazy work schedule but I'm hoping next summer will be a whole lot different. Now that the kids are back in school, I always make sure we have our fridge stocked with … [Read more...]
