Mango Blackberry Smoothie
This weekend was warm. I had the chance to lay out on the hill in the Common before work to catch some rays. I mixed up this smoothie to bring with me, but I drank it so fast it didn’t make it to the park. All you need is: Half a mango, diced into cubes … Continue reading
Grilled Broccoli and Cheese
I was thinking of interesting thing to do with grilled cheese while I stayed home sick this week. I was looking for a spin on the tired but true tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Cherry Blossoms and More at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
This past weekend I took a trip to New York City paritially on business, partially for pleasure (though in NYC, it’s always a pleasure).
