During a trade show last month in Atlantic City, I had one of the best portobello mushroom sandwiches I’ve ever had. It was a marinated and grilled mushroom with sauteed spinach and melted cheese. So simple, but really good. Since Atlantic City isn’t exactly around the corner from me, I vowed I would try to… Continue reading Grilled Portobello Mushroom With Sauteed Spinach and Cheddar Cheese
Happy Memorial Day! A big thank you to those who serve and served our country. 🙂 To celebrate, try this light and refreshing drink. It deliberately doesn’t have a heavy wine flavor and is meant to be more of a flavored water so it’s hydrating and refreshing on a hot day. The key is to… Continue reading Memorial Day Red Wine Spritzer Punch
A cute, small restaurant in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, Pepe Giallo offers tasty Italian food at an affordable price. We took a chance on this place because it was near the closing party of BlogWorld and News Media Expo last week. It was a beautiful evening, so we decided to sit outside, which is… Continue reading Pepe Giallo – New York City Restaurant Review
Happy weekend! I spent much of last week in New York City at BlogWorld with friends and we had several really good dinners, at decent prices. All had great options for vegetarians, meat eaters and budget conscious foodies that I can’t wait to share. I’ll also be telling you about a really good new drink… Continue reading BlogWorld Eats
A few months ago I won a gift pack from Gluten Free Pantry after entering a contest on a blog that I can’t recall the name of, and have been slowly trying the half dozen products they sent me. OK, truth be told, this was the first of the products I tried. Their wheat free,… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins (Gluten Free)
There are tons of really great pizza places in New York City, but one of my favorites is just inside Penn Station — Don Pepi’s. I absolutely love their white pizza with tomatoes. It’s got a good ricotta and mozzarella balance and is always topped with fresh tomatoes. It’s also not glamorous and crazy expensive.… Continue reading Don Pepi’s Pizza in New York’s Penn Station
I have an addiction and it’s all my aunt’s fault, because this is one trait I definitely got from her — I rescue plants. Yes, plants. You know the ones — they have the usually yellow sticker slapped on the side of their container with that dreaded nine letter word – “CLEARANCE.” Many times, there… Continue reading Rescue Plants
It’s cold, rainy and just very wet here in the Adirondacks, but the good thing is my backyard looks like a rainforest with lush greenery all around. It’s actually very nice, although I could do without the cold. At the same time all this rain is happening, one of my relatives just arrived back from… Continue reading Cruise Ship Fruit Salad
After a week of technical issues, The Adirondack Chick is back up! And, just in time, might I add. This weekend is the Girlfriends Getaway in Bolton Landing at The Sagamore. The Friday night kickoff was such a blast! And, I’m sure today will be just as good. Here are a few snapshots:
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there! As a tribute to my mom and grandmothers, here is a picture of me as a little kid with (from left to right) my Great Grandma Tess, who lived in the Adirondacks and got me hooked, my Mom and my Grandma Diana. Four generations of Adirondack… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
