I’ve been able to get through this week because I have something to look forward to – a spur of the moment weekend getaway! In case you don’t have a spontaneous trip coming up, these should help you make it through. At the Passover dinner I hosted over the weekend, I combined the place cards…

After walking around the West Village, Podz and I decided to end the day with a stop at Popbar. Popbar makes gelato, yogurt, and sorbetto popsicles that they then hand dip into the chocolate and topping of your choice.

For years I’ve been told I need to read David Sedaris’ collection of essays, Me Talk Pretty One Day. I tried once, but after buying a faulty copy (after about 50 pages it started from the beginning), I got discouraged by the botched book and put it down. At the time, I also wasn’t thrilled…

There was a ton of pressure associated with Friday night’s restaurant pick. It was my Daddy’s birthday and he had high expectations. He left the picking entirely up to me, but I knew there were a few things he was hoping to get out of dinner. My father loves game but doesn’t see it all…

My parents’ trip here this past weekend had multiple objectives: 1) help me get everything in order for an apartment I am hoping (praying) to get 2) spend some quality time with their one and only daughter and 3) celebrate both of their birthdays. I was unable to spend my mother’s birthday with her so…

When I knew I had leftover chicken to eat last week, I decided to make the rest of the meal more interesting by trying out a new side dish. Much like the shrimp and quinoa salad I made last week, this would make for a great picnic vegetable. Trim sugar snap peas and cut them…
