The "New" Jersey Life

Turkish Food
I've officially signed papers to temporarily moved to NJ. I'm taking a few months to figure out the next chapter in my life. I have a beautiful apartment with adorable roomies. In fact I think this is going to be a happy spot since I've lived in NYC. The toughest thing living here has been my roomie situation.

I meet my "new" roomies last night to finalize the paperwork and do what Daisha does best...EAT and TRY something NEW.... :)

We went to this new restaurant in North Bergan, NJ which is a few minutes from the new apartment. One of my roommate is Turkish. I was really nervous about eating there, but he said it was a lot of vegetarian dishes and some what like Mediterranean food. I started off by having him take the reins in ordering two appetizers and then my main dish was pretty much kabobs and veggies with flavorful chicken.

We started with puff pastry which was ricotta cheese and then deep fried.
It was a pretty delicious dish. We then started with a variety of sauces with the bread that is given when you sit down. The platter was a delicious blend of eggplant, hummus, white with dill and a great balance is flavors to really build my appetite up for dinner.


I received my dish but there wasn't any chicken. We had to wait a little longer for some chicken to arrive which was a really great meat quality and flavors it made the chicken really powerful and moist. I enjoy the dish very much (I'm a veggie head indeed). I was pleased with my order. I'm able to add another culture of food to my palette, but check off "Turkish food" on my list....I will be back.


I wasn't even going to eat dessert, but honestly I hadn't had a tasty dessert like this is a while. I LOVE pistachios and honey, but this was an out of this world pastry. I am glad I tried it. PERFECT to complete the evening.

Happy Mother's Day

I've been getting messages, emails, and texts about what to get momma bear for Mothers Day. I don't normally celebrate this day with my mom. Although, I do make sure to send a card with my best friends mom. She shines in my heart and I love her to death. She has really helped me through the past few years to be ME.... I can't thank her enough. I always make an effort to make her cry (sounds sad), but when I talk to her or see her its hard because we are just crying most of the time. I have decided to share a few our of the normal ideas with you today.... 1. I know I mentioned Mouth.com around the holidays, but they are #1 on my list this time of the year again. I will also share the promo card Mouth  2. Have you thought about making your Wife bling again. I have friends who have been married for 10years and they LOVED the idea of me telling them to get their wine a new set of.....diamonds. You keep the setting and then replace the diamond. She will be styling a

COUPONS, SHOPPING w/ COUPONS, and USING COUPONS

Happy Easter Everyone, I hope your having a great one. I'm in Vancouver, WA hanging out with family and enjoying my time away from Seattle, WA. Today I was watching EXTREME COUPON. It's amazing what these women have going on. We have women "buying" $800receipt   totals (of items they DONT need for the day/week/ever) and spending 0 - 25 bucks. I love that they have a budget and going in the store and sometimes spend nothing. I dont know what my TRUE feelings are about this show, but I will say Im addicted to coupons, saving, and making a "GOOD DEAL" happen. I love to brag about how much I spend on flights and how I look to find the deal. I have a few websites I would like to share with you. RETAILMENOT  is a great website for looking for deals, know when stores are having a sale,  and a great site to save on! It's good to know when sales start and end for the week.  It's always good to know which stores carry what. Safeway SAFEWAY JU
