My New York Minute

I’m back!! Did you miss me? Of course you did.

The trip to NYC was absolutely amazing, just as expected. I must say though, New Yorkers really do a lot of walking! Even with all of the delicious goodies I was eating such as pizza, Chinese food, pastries, etc. I still don’t think I gained my usual five-pound vacation weight.

If any of you have not yet been I’d like to take this blog entry to encourage you to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, better known as MoMA, in New York. This is by far on of the most stunning museums I have ever been to. The work of artists such as Salvador Dalí and Vincent Gogh are displayed everywhere and some of the exhibits take up an entire wall – it is astounding. Really, if you haven’t been, you must go.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I’ve got a super yummy recipe (made with my super yummy margarine!) on tap for later this week so be sure to tune in.

Can I Take a Vacation From My Vacation?

Phew!!! I had forgotten just how exhausting vacations can be. Between the packing and unpacking, traveling to and from the airport and waiting in ridiculously long lines while actually at the airport, I'm tuckered out!

My trip was wonderful and thank you for all of the birthday wishes. Much fun was had, lots of money was spent and way too much food was consumed. I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the restuarants I dined at served margarine instead of butter. Perhaps it's because New York City recently banned trans fats at all restuarants.

As I've told you time and time again, most margarines today are low in trans fat and many of them are trans fat free!

I will fill you in more on my adventures in New York but first I've got to take a nap!

Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s hard to believe it but my 25th birthday is finally almost here. To celebrate this momentous occasion (ha!) I’m heading to New York City for a couple of days to visit a friend. This will be a much-needed break from a stressful couple of weeks.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I won’t be posting while I’m gone (wipe those tears) but I’ll give you an update on my trip upon my return.
