CAN'T GET ENOUGH

I have never been here and finally got to explore the city. Enjoy my families company. Heidi Daisha  Amber Family Time Eat a tasty Philly cheesesteak and find the amazing looking buildings (Macys was a dream to look into) . It's a walkable city although we went on a weekend were it was still cold and rainy! It was kind of a damper on our travels for Saturday, but we ended up making sure we stayed inside the . We decided to head to the RMT  Reading Terminal Market  and checked the local/small and big/tasty shops and eateries. Saturday morning we went to the "Known" Sabrina's . It wasn't that bad getting in, even know the line was wrapper around the waiting area. About a 10 min wait and enjoyed almost everything on out table. I wanted to try something new and different. We all ordered something that we could share to try everything on the menu that seemed the most appealing to us. I ordered the tex-mex scramble with black bean grits. Please believe me whe...

Open your mouth…I have treats for you. I heard of this website at work. People were getting Holiday bags and treats from the site, and of course the “foodie” had to look it up.  I had to share with my followers. TONS of treats for everyone in the family. Just take a look, take a look…..just take a look, take a look (Sorry Taylor Swift is in my head today). http://www.mouth.com/ Enjoy!  

Over the last few months there are places I haven't blogged about that I've tried. I want to say THANK YOU even know I didn't say a little something these places still end up on my YELP, Foursquare, or Swarm account. I also don't forgot and if its tasty then I always let people know about them.   Today I want to say THANK YOU and show off a few places/Photos/images/tasty dishes....  Are you following my blog...If not please take a few minutes to FOLLOW me.   When I first moved to NYC I was living with my great friend (at the time) and she let me stay rent free for almost 2 months. After ONE month living in NYC that I was ready to start my life and leave Seattle. I then stayed in my own room in Williamsburg for ONE whole month (rent was a little insane) but the landlords wanted to renovated so moved. Although, we had friends (mice/cockroaches/waterbugs), but sad BC Brooklyn was great in the food world. Lets just say I don't want to...

Turkey Chili (Oh Shoot...that's ME)..NOOOOO 1 pound ground turkey 1 can 12-16 oz. Salsa (with corn) 1 can 8 oz tomato paste 1 can of 8 oz. corn 1 12oz kidney beans 1 12oz pinto beans 1 12oz black beans  Brown your turkey meat until its fully cooked; no pink. Drain. Add the salsa, turkey meat into the medium size pot, then add the beans. Mix ALL ingredients and let it all simmer, and comes to a boil. I love to serve it with cheese melting on the top (cheddar makes it better). Sides; Fresh colorful Salad & Homemade corn bread  

J. Russell My cousin, Jessica came to visit me for her birthday weekend. Boy did she not even know what to expect. I had just recently had everything planned for her trip and I decided why not write about everything you can do in NYC in a short period of time, with a quick guide to "how to get around". I also had my dearest friends Angelica & Raquel join me in February and this was the perfect to combine everything that we did here in NYC all in one. New Jersey City; Taqueria Living in NYC can be very stressful (but you can always have some chips/sales & margarita), especially when you have a new job, you don't know a lot of people, and then you mix the getting around. I think for being very very geographically challenged I'm able to get around pretty good. I didn't get the whole Harlem (West and East Sides) for a while (don't ask), but I have finally figured it out. Anyways the MTA system is a breeze and now I'm learning the NJ t...

I have been here two times and was never hungry. I finally went with an empty tummy. I walked in about 900pm and wanted some wine with my pizza. Unfortunately, they don't sell alcohol, but they recommended I walk to hollywood liquors, find something, and bring it over. Which is perfect. I got an apple cider "shock top" and Red Moscato wine. I had a plain slice of pizza and watched The Interview (movie they had a TV). It was a great three hours spent in another setting. The original Presto Pizza resides in West new York right next to the 60th pool (summer time only). It was a great evening, quiet. I spoke with the two staff in the front and the delivery guy Mike. They were friendly, personal, and we laughed all night long. Its a small spot, but the foot traffic was unbelievable. People were coming for whole pizzas, personal pizzas, and slices after their long day at work. Great spot to check out if you are in the area.

I mean first of all I have never had these drunk. Second off I think its worth going all the way to Brooklyn from. I would recommend before a game to grab a few and sneak them in (Barclay Center). When I first stumbled upon this place it was my favorite new spot. My co-worker and I would walk 12+ blocks, shopped, worked up and appetite and then went to Cesar's "food truck". I normally don't eat street meat in NYC, but in Seattle this was a thing. HUGE large locations (similar to Smoorgashboarg here). Cesar's always has a line and its amazing. I always get the chicken one. I tried the spinach one this time around with my chicken one and wasn't to much of a fan. I like how friendly the guy server is. I mean its worth a try. Suggestions from friends... El Viejo Yayo 317 9th St Brooklyn , NY 11215

I finally went to Boston, MA in January for my first trip of the year. Actually it was 18 degrees weather and amazing. It was two weeks exactly BEFORE they played my Seahawks and we LOST the Super Bowl this year. I booked my bus to get to Boston with Mega Bus. It was about a 5 hour trip and I slept most of the time, but totally worth it all.  My Bus I started off by booking my hotel on hotel TONIGHT for $100\a night. I stayed at Boston Park Plaza Hotel  My Hotel I wanted to try restaurants that were tasty/delicious, fun and spicy drinks, great customer service, and overall good atmosphere. I had a lot of places to try and had only TWO days. I first visited Zocalo,  Mexican Food  on 35 Stanhope Street Boston, MA 02116. It was about 11 mins walking distance from my hotel. I really enjoyed my stay here. It was about 6:30, I walked in and went straight to the bar and spoke with the bartender. I asked for something spicy, margarita/tequila infused drink. he didn't g...

Havana, New Jersey I joined the bar section for a little appetizers and Mojitos. I spoke with the bartender about traditional appetizers because I wasn't too hungry. He mentioned the spinach an cheese empanadas and the "croquettes"; I've had those before else where and wants something different. I decided to try a traditional mash potato with tasty ground beef stuffed and then deep fried with a layering of crust. They were served open and very hot, fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed everything about my dish. As for my jalapeno infused watermelon muddled with mint drink. It was perfect. Happy hour is served everyday (even weekends) from 4-7pm. I walked in at 530pm and boy was this the ideal spot. It was warm with the fire place roaring on the side of the bar, it wasn't took crowed and the service was ideal. Oh, did I mention this fabulous place is in Hoboken NJ, literally two blocks from the Path train! Ahhh, literally some place to check out (Newark Street, just o...
