THANK-FULL: NY FOOD RECAP


"So, what we gone eat when I get there?"

 Happy November! It's "We got food at the house" season which means we are one step closer to my favorite time of year... Christmas! But, let me not get ahead of myself. For the month of November, I'll be sharing some of the things that I'm thankful for. And what better way to kick off this month than FOOD. I be hungry.

Now ya'll know, anytime I go to a new city, I got to eat. That's one of my favorite things about a vacation. You do all of the prepping for it, you shop for new outfits, you try to lose a couple of pounds to get into the new outfits, you pack and travel. But when you finally make it to your destination, you get to just relax and try as many foods as you can. You know you don't be eating like that all the time, so it's all good.

I had an absolute blast exploring New York City with my friends Yaya, Greg and baby G! When I touched down at their home in Brooklyn, I was met at the door with a huge slice of pizza because they knew what I came for! What a way to be welcomed to the big apple!


Did ya'll know that New York is also known for it's bagels? Some places have bagels the size of my face! I kinda got a big face, so that's a big bagel. We popped into Steve's Bagel's one morning for some breakfast and Steve and 'nem touched my soul with that sandwich. Yaya ordered me a baconeggcheese on an everything bagel. Yes, you have to say baconeggcheese all together like that and say it kind of fast, because everybody in New York is in a rush.



P. S. We also had this freshly baked cheesecake brownie muffin thingy that I didn't get a picture of. But I have feelings for that muffin.

Yaya knows I LOVE pancakes. We didn't make it to brunch but homegirl whipped up a quick breakfast for me one morning that was just as tasty! You can't go wrong with a home cooked meal.


Last, but CERTAINLY not least, El Sombrero. So, Yaya and I were having a conversation about how I've never had plantains before. In all of my 29 years, no one has introduced me to them.This was a Dominican restaurant where I got my entire life! First, she had me try the salted plantains that came with a garlic sauce. Then, we split an order of the sweet plantains. Those were my favorite! I had a steak that was so tender and seasoned to perfection, with a side of rice and beans. I almost took a nap in that booth after this meal.




Ya'll, I think it's safe to say that I got my New York food fix for this go round. But, I will definitely be going back.

The moral of the story is, I can't wait to be fat with ya'll this holiday season. Who's cooking?

P.S. Thanks for making this a delicious trip, Yaya!

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...

KIDS ON KIDS ON KIDS

"You don't have kids yet? That`s rare." I`m 26, never been married, engaged, or even close, why is that so rare? In my opinion, I`m just getting started with my own life. Okay maybe not JUST getting started but I`m still in my prime. Like, I`m working on myself. Look, I just don't have the money for any extra people, okay? Ive reached the age where I`m starting to see many of my peers in my news feeds getting married and having children. Meanwhile, I'm over here stalking this sexy dude on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Myspace. (Don't act like y'all don't remember Myspace.) Marriage is a beautiful thing. I enjoy looking at everyone`s wedding photos and thinking about how I`m going to steal some of those ideas for myself one day. I`m also looking at the groomsmen to see if any of them are sexy. Don't be surprised if I show up to your reception uninvited trying to catch the bouquet. As long as dude doesn't have any kids. Listen, don't g...
