CAN'T GET ENOUGH

So I really would like to share a tasty treat Ive been eating quite frequently. I normally don't indulge in these kind of things. I just made it up this weekend and now I can't stop eating them. 1/4 cup almond milk (1/2 of it first and then the other half when you blend) 1 tablespoons of steel cut oats dash of cinnamon 1 ripe banana 1tablespoon of chunky peanut butter 1 tablespoon of vanilla protein mix 5-6 ice cubes (to your thickness) Add the first portion of the almond milk in a container with a lid. Add the steel cut oats and cinnamon in the almond milk and refrigerator over night. Take them out in the am and add to the blend/ninja/smoothie maker. Add the banana, protein mix, peanut butter, and ice cubes, blend until its mixed well. add more ice cubes to make it thick, but remember more water and less almond milk makes a weird taste. (too watery)... Check me out. After a long run, a tasty COLD flavorful and filling snack...YUM

I ordered a pair of shoes and signed up to receive "emails for promotions and deals". My birthday month, June I received an email from Tom Shoes "In-Store Events". These in store events ranged from beauty, giving back, food/beverage, arts and crafts, wine tastings, and a variety of after-work functions. It was really cool that they started doing this. I was pleased to see the variety of options and functions they had going, especially since they do them "IN THE STORE". Many of the events cater to all different age groups and don't worry you don't have to "secretly" buy anything its just to primarily offer more "THINGS" for people to do in the city. The location is close to transportation: Bleecker Street (6 train/ Local, OR B, F, M trains).. I highly recommend you sign up for being in the "know". I can't wait to see what August has to offer. This month I'm able to attend two; Free Ice Coffee (July 7th) &a

This is REALLY a hidden little gem. (if you get off the Newport Path train stop walk through the mall and over towards Hamilton Park).... YOU will be in front of the store front on the left hand side of their street.  We walked in on a pretty hot day looking for a tasty treat. My friend wanted to cinnamon ice cream which is in the special of the month. This creation was created by the owner of something his grandma would make for him when they were kids. The Broa Sundae is cinnamon infused vanilla ice cream, crushed cookies from te Azores, Portuguese Coffee Candied Almonds, Sugared Egg Yolks and Eucharist water. I loved this creation. The flavors of the egg yolk, sugar, cream, milky ice cream, with cinnamon ice cream was delicious. The almonds were perfect with a little crunch. This is a monthly dish so get it why its hot. FYI you can't get the cinnamon ice cream UNLESS you order this tasty deliciousness treat. I tasted the Stumptown coffee and this was astonishing in fa

June was my birthday month (6/18/1983) and I turned 32 years old. Time flies when your eating food and talking about it, literally. Magnifico - South River, NJ A lot of people say "OMG Daisha, why do you celebrate your birthday all month"? The truth is I love to go to ALL the spots I love and in order for my to not get a little "over weight" I have to spread out eating all these tasty indulgences but also appreciate why I love them. The fact about the whole thing is I love food, cookies, treats, and of coarse CUPCAKES. Which brings me to the ONLY reason why I'm posting today. I love cupcakes and I can't take them out of my life. I found a few GREAT spots I would love to share with you. Again, having them in lump sums doesn't make any sense, although ensuring my cupcake fix is handled appropriately does. Sugar Sweet Sunshine is one of my TOP cupcake choices. It's lite and fluffy, not to dense or thick. It's almost LIKE a cupcake you j

410 Amsterdam Ave, NY 10024, 212-873-6252 Brunch/Lunch/Dinner and HH 4:00 - 7:00 Sunday Super Bowl Weekend was when three of my friends got together for brunch. I ended up meeting up with one of my friends in the waiting area with our cup of joe. We waited until are other people in our party arrived. As soon as they arrived the waitress began right away serving each of us a glass of their tasty Bellini juice. We purchased a group-on which allowed all of us to enjoy 1 hour of tasty treats (which really ended up being 2 hours). Sometimes people tend to get a great vibe with the groups I hang out with and tend to give us a little more than normal. We started looking at the tasty menu and the waitress was amazing and she ended up explaining in depth about the menu and really how it is ideal for this and that. She also mentioned everyone getting a few items and sharing them, but we  all ended up getting our own items. We ended up spending 10.00 (with tip included), which would n

I'm heading to South Brunswick for the weekend to spend time with my friend and her family. We have really been close over the last few years. I always make an effort to prepare an amazing meal for the family especially having BBQ's. I decided to bring my homemade favorites. I couldn't decided what type of Entrée to make, therefore I'm making both. I really want this to be a special day for the family. Lemon & Herb Salmon (Baked) Slice half the lemon other half; grate a little lemon zest 1 tablespoon; freshly squeezed lemon juice diced freshly parsley sliced butter (2) salt and pepper Baking.... In a tin add the salmon after you washed it off and patted him (yes HIM) dry.. Add the parsley and butter around him. Place the lemon slices on the salmon with the lemon zest. Add the lemon juice with the butter and parsley. Dash a little Salt and Pepper. Bake at 350 until the salmon is cooked thoroughly (about 25 mins); depending on the piece and size. If its

This weekend I visited the "family" I adopted when moving here. Their daughter and I are pretty close friends. I love Amanda dearly. We had a full house this weekend and thought I would write about the things I learned, noticed, and saw over the last few days. I've been wanting to add this to my blog for some time now. I normally tend to think I'm the ideal guest, but I'm always learning something new. As most of you may know by now I have OCD, I like things in order, and enjoy hosting to sure everything is always clean and organized. I think there are a few key things to keep in mind. This isn't about being polite or having manners IT'S how everyone should be (in my opinion).   When you are at someone's home and you are "their guests" you should act proper and polite at all times. I mean what does that even mean? Be respectful, mindful, and have love for their home weather your "close" to them or just passing through. Al
