This day is particularly significant for me, and every year it serves as my day to reflect. 19 years ago, 9/30/2001, was the day my entire life got uprooted and thrown down a completely different, dark path. If you want to read the full story, you can do so here. […]

Things I Loved in Food This Week
In my new quest to create more content off of Instagram, I bring you: Things I Loved. This will (hopefully) be an ongoing thing each week in different categories (food, health, etc), but for now we have a lot of food stuffs to catch up on. I just really wanted […]
Favorite NYC Burgers for National Cheeseburger Day
I’m not going to lie to you. This was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Choosing a favorite burger in NYC is like choosing a favorite child (I bet). There’s so many good ones, but I’ve been eating here for a long time, and I think […]
Easy Brown Sugar Baked Chicken
I don’t know about you guys but I kind of hate cooking chicken breasts. They’re hard to get right, and they’re usually pretty boring. But I finally found a way to make them taste good and most importantly, hard to screw up. The key here is the brown sugar and […]

We’ve Made it to Phase 2: Where to Eat in NYC
It’s finally here. Feels like yesterday I was crying into a pillow over the loss of restaurant life. Now I cry into a pillow for different reasons. But anyway. This list will be expanding as time goes on, but here’s a few places where you can dine (and drink) al […]
Mom’s Sausage and Peppers
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill sausage and pepps from CitiField. Though I do loves me some Premio stand, ballpark sausage. Remember baseball games? Those were cool. Anyway, my mom has been making sausage and peppers this way (with tomatoes) for a while and I have to say, I’m hooked. I have […]
Instant Pot Creamy Lemon-Broccoli Chicken with Burst Grape Tomatoes
If you don’t like lemon, this recipe is not for you. Let’s just get that out of the way. This is a pretty lemony dish, but obviously you could cut back on the lemon if you really wanted to. I happen to love it, but everyone is different. I think […]
Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps w/Avocado
I decided to be low carb today, and I had a rotisserie chicken in the fridge that needed to be used, so this is what I came up with. Easy peasy! I love buffalo sauce and will eat it on pretty much anything, but buffalo chicken is probably my favorite […]
Easy Vodka Sauce
I’ll be honest, this is one of those things I wish I tried to make earlier. Because it was SO MUCH EASIER than I thought! Ugh, regrets. All those days when I ordered in penne alla vodka when I could have just made it myself. Just kidding, I don’t really […]
