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.

November 12, 2010 by 8 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.

With the brand new Febreze Home Collection Wooden Wick Candles, I can close my eyes with my mug … [Read more...]
