Foodie Friday:: Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Happy Friday, friends! Are you ready to kick-off a long and relaxing weekend? Memorial Day marks the real start to summer for me – meaning it’s time to whip out my white pants, invite friends over for parties on our roof deck, and gear up for a few weekend get-a-ways in Montauk. For me, the best part of this week each year is my family’s annual trip to Hilton Head Island, my favorite vacation destination …

Foodie Friday:: Arugula Clementine Salad

Happy Friday, friends! After a few rainy days in NYC, my hope is that this weekend brings plenty of sun and warm weather for everyone… especially for those who plan to celebrate Mother’s Day al fresco surrounded by friends and family! Although I won’t be celebrating this holiday in the same city as my mom or in-laws, I am counting down for…

Cinco de Mayo Breakfast

This upcoming weekend is Cinco de Mayo, which happens to be one of my favorite days of the year because it gives me another excuse to devour Mexican food… again. Seeing Cinco de Mayo falls on a Sunday, I’m sure restaurants will be jam-packed (especially if it’s nice out!) while everyone feasts on icy-cold margaritas, chips and guacamole! Don’t get me wrong, I adore…

Raise Your Glass:: Tropical Papaya Shake

Has anyone else been on a major smoothie kick? I know they’ve gained some serious traction in the last few years and while I used to only enjoy them here and there, lately I just can’t get enough. Full disclaimer: there’s a smoothie truck literally right outside my apartment so when I’m…

Lucky Beer Cupcakes

I hope you’re having a lucky St. Patty’s Day! Are you decked out in leprechaun gear? Earlier this week, I shared a few of my favorite St. Patrick’s inspirations that I found around the web and today, I’m sharing one of my own. Well, I should say, one of my…

Foodie Friday:: Tangy Tomato Pasta

What is going on with this snow? Being March 8th and all, I thought this weekend may possibly bring a few small hints of spring, but if the next two days are similar to today, I’ll be curled up at home catching up on NetFlix. This morning, while trucking through the blustery snow, I was trying to imagine that I was really at home with an…

Raise Your Glass:: Pomegranate Lime Splash

So, what did you guys think about the Oscars? Personally, I fell that much more in love with Jennifer Lawrence during her adorably candid acceptance speech and as usual, Adele knocked it out of the park with Skyfall. For the show this year, I invited friends over to watch and even though…

Brunch with Call Me Cupcake

You guys, I just realized I’ve been holding out on you! On Sunday, I wrapped up a Valentine’s Day brunch photo shoot (some may have gotten a sneak peek on my Twitter or Facebook page) so I’ve been browsing tons of food blogs lately for creative inspiration and delicious brunch recipes for the shoot as well as another upcoming event. Brunch happens to be my favorite meal, although typically only reserved for weekends, and last week after…

Raise Your Glass: Pomegranate Blackberry Fizz

Happy Monday, friends! Anyone do anything exciting this weekend? Or, for those off work today, did anyone jet out of town to make the most of their three-day weekend? D & I stayed in the city (such are the breaks when your husband is a National News Producer covering the Inauguration…let’s just say, it left minimal room for a spontaneous vacation!) But, we did hit up…

Raise Your Glass:: Hot Spiced Cider

Doesn’t this winter weather make you just want to race home after work, pop on comfy clothes, and catch up on all of your DVR’d shows? Please tell me I’m not alone when I say that…

Foodie Friday:: Cranberry Orange Scones

Happy Friday everyone! I hope that you have some relaxing plans lined up this weekend! D & I are going to dinner in Tribeca and then hitting up a movie tonight. (Any recommendations?) I must say, this is a bit deal because I honestly can’t remember the last movie we’ve seen in the theater…and even if I could, I’d be embarrassed to admit what it was because…
