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...]

Is It Possible To Have Thanksgiving Without Cranberries?
November 22, 2010 by 9 Comments
Photo credit The traditional American Thanksgiving meal usually consists of a huge turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, stuffing & cranberry sauce. Right? In our family, no one likes cranberry sauce so that is one food item we do not eat. One year I did attempt to make green beans and cranberries but no one liked the cranberries so it was a total waste of money. I think I'll go back to the original way of making green beans which is just by adding salt & pepper. This … [Read more...]
Shout-Out Sunday – 11/21
November 21, 2010 by 4 Comments
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 Niri … [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...]
Wordless Wednesday – Two Hearts Beat As One (add your linky)
November 17, 2010 by 8 Comments
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...]
