So I've been out of the blogging loop for a few weeks now. Lots of things have happened since my last post. I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the tragedy that's happened in a Connecticut school where twenty children (and six adults) were shot and killed in a senseless act. I cannot fathom the thought of something bad happening to any of my dear children. God please help those parents who are grieving for their children. On another note, Thanksgiving night, my little one had 103 degree … [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...]

Planning For Our Thanksgiving Feast

November 20, 2011 By 5 Comments
Thanksgiving turkey

Hey everyone. You know this is the very first year I have not one item for our Thanksgiving feast? Usually I have some of the Thanksgiving essentials weeks before but this year is different. I'm too busy.  I'm too tired. And I'm too "unscheduled" (is that even a word? lol) as of yet.  I haven't found the right balance of working, blogging and motherhood but I'm hopeful. I know I will soon find it. But right now it's time for me to get down and dirty and figure out what our … [Read more...]

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.

Is It Possible To Have Thanksgiving Without Cranberries?

November 22, 2010 By 9 Comments
cranberrie

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...]

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...]

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 … [Read more...]
