Anisette Cookies to Die For!
One of my favorite holiday cookies to make is Anisette Cookies. These cookies have that wonderful anisette flavor yet are a bit soft. I don’t particularly enjoy the hard-as-a-rock version.

Breakfast of Champions: Tater-Tot Casserole
My family loves tater-tots for that pop-in-the-mouth factor and we just plain devour them. They are just little, individual hash browns and what better to make a giant frittata with as a base?

Recipe Deliciousness: Homemade Naan
One of my son’s favorite snacks to devour when he comes home from school is Naan with Hummus (much better than the bag of Doritos he used to grab). I would often buy a 2 pack of naan from Walbaums but then I made my own and I would never go back to the store… Continue Reading

I think the most difficult aspect is making sure your layout isn’t too busy or that the doodles get lost in the page. This scrapbook page I just completed features doodles from… Continue Reading
Infographic: Which Female Tech Influencer Are You?
Infographics are the latest internet craze and I do enjoy collecting them on Pinterest. Came across this one this morning: Now some women are up in arms with the sexist thing but truthfully I can’t be bothered. It is just FUN that is all – no one is trying to force women back in… Continue Reading
Long Island Needs More Farmers’ Markets Starting with Manhasset
I am very excited to have Mary Ann Jones from Thrive Naturally featured here as a guest blogger on Long Island Chick. If you don’t know her, you should. I love Sunday mornings in Manhasset, everything seems possible in the morning, with the whole day still ahead. The less hectic vibe of Sunday is… Continue Reading
Things to do on Long Island: Catch a LI Ducks Game!
My family is trying to do activities we have never done before to make this summer exciting. One of the things we would like to do is attend a Long Island Ducks baseball game. The Long Island Ducks, 2004 Atlantic League champions, play at Bethpage Ballpark, located in Central Islip, N.Y. The 22 million dollar… Continue Reading
