READ: We are bringing our “5 Questions With....” series back but plan on spotlighting local Westchester County people and businesses. In today’s blog post (link in profile) we feature Marie Rama of Hudson Green (@hudsongreenfoods). Check out the post to learn more about this Westchester County plant-based small food business. 📸: @hudsongreenfoods
#ad It’s hard to believe we are three months in #ad It’s hard to believe we are three months into 2021! Did anyone else make New Year goals of exercising more and eating healthier?! Dole Boosted Blends® Vita-C is helping to get me back on track in a delicious and easy way! These Blends have pieces of all natural fruit and have 220% of daily Vitamin C. Dole Boosted Blends® Vita-C are gluten-free and non-GMO. I was able to find them in the freezer section at my local Shoprite. As a busy working mom, these Blends help me easily incorporate more fruit into my diet to help me reach my nutrition and fitness goals! A delicious smoothie is quickly made with the Dole Boosted Blends® Vita-C and your preferred liquid of choice (I made mine with coconut milk). Give new Dole Boosted Blends® Vita-C a try! @dolesunshine #DoleSunshine #DoleBoostedBlends #GetBlending
COOK: Over the weekend we made this Warm Farro Bow COOK: Over the weekend we made this Warm Farro Bowl with Roasted Vegetables and a Kale Pesto Vinaigrette from @joanneeatswell. This was a great cold weather dish that was full of flavor. Instead of making our own kale pesto we bought a jar of basil pesto and mixed it with some olive oil. It was easy to make and very tasty. The leftovers made a great lunch today!
EAT: {Yorktown Heights} While my daughter and I we EAT: {Yorktown Heights} While my daughter and I were at the @jeffersonvalley earlier today she wanted something to eat. While the food court options are pretty sparse right now, on the weekends there are always several food trucks in the parking lot by the main lower entrance to the mall. When she saw the @putsomemeatonyourbones food truck she had to get The Evil One: a mac & cheese grilled cheese. She couldn’t stop raving about how good this sandwich was! I of course had to have a bite and with 6 cheeses, this grilled cheese is super cheesy! I’ll have to come back with my son, the only meat eater in the house. I know he’ll love the BBQ Pulled Chicken Grilled Cheese. Put Some Meat On Your Bones is a great food option when you’re at the mall. They have a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches (and some quesadillas too) and are at the the mall Tuesday through Sunday. 📍Put Some Meat On Your Bones Parking lot of Jefferson Valley Mall 650 Lee Boulevard Yorktown Heights, NY 10598
READ: (Westchester County) Today on the blog I sha READ: (Westchester County) Today on the blog I share my Family Dinner Deals in Westchester County post (link in profile). Check out this list of Westchester County restaurants that offer great family dinner specials. It’s a great way to support local but not spend a fortune. With a 12 and almost 15 year old, I know how expensive eating out can be! If you know of a restaurant that has a family dinner deal please send me a DM so I can add them to the posts! Help support local!
EAT: {White Plains} @papifastitalian in White Plai EAT: {White Plains} @papifastitalian in White Plains is a great place to get fast-casual, made to order Italian. They make Roman-style Pinsas, pasta, wraps and more. We recently ordered takeout and enjoyed a variety of their dishes including fried ravioli, a Margherita Pinsa, Cacio E Pepe pasta, a Caesar salad and mini Nutella Bombolini. They have so many vegetarian food options and everything was great! 📍Papi’ 19 Bank Street White Plains, NY 10606
READ: (Westchester County) Today I’ve updated my READ: (Westchester County) Today I’ve updated my Westchester County Dinner Deals post, which was last updated in 2019 (link in profile). Sadly, I had to delete some restaurants that closed and take off some other restaurants that are closed for the winter season. Check out the newly updated list that features restaurants that offer some type of dinner special. And stay tuned because later this week I’m posting restaurants that offer family dinner deals, none of which are on this list! Check back often, as I will continue to update the list! If you are a restaurant or know of a restaurant that has either dinner deals or family dinner deals please send me a DM so I can add them to the posts! Help support local!
I finally made the TikTok Feta Pasta that’s been I finally made the TikTok Feta Pasta that’s been all over social media. It was super easy and tasty (although the family voted that they prefer Gigi Hadid’s Pasta dish). And because it’s a snow day and pasta isn’t enough carbs, I made @pinchofyum No-Knead Bread.
READ: {Beacon} Today on the blog (link in profile) READ: {Beacon} Today on the blog (link in profile) I share our first Hudson Valley Day Tripper Guide to one of my favorite small cities in the area, Beacon! There is so much to see, do, eat, drink and shop and we have no way covered it all! This guide is a starting off point and will continue to be updated as we explore the city more. If you have not yet visited Beacon, I highly recommend! If you have any recommendations not covered in the guide, please let us know so we can plan a visit! Currently on our to-visit list is: @hudsonbeachglass @ziatun_beacon @beanscatcafe @happyvalleybeacon
EAT/DRINK: {North Salem} Have you ever stumbled up EAT/DRINK: {North Salem} Have you ever stumbled upon a place (restaurant, shop, or in this case a coffee shop/cafe) that you didn’t even know existed and then fallen in love with it? This is what happened to me with Hayfields Market in North Salem. We don’t get to this part of Westchester County very often. However, when our daughter went skating at Brewster Ice Arena and we needed a place to hang out for a little bit, a quick search and we found @hayfieldsmarket. This is the prettiest coffee shop I’ve ever seen. There’s a flower shop with beautiful arrangements made by @amys_flowers_ny as well as housewares for sale. And of course there’s coffee, tea, a breakfast/lunch menu and a case filled with delicious looking treats that are made both in-house and delivered from local establishments and/or the city. I loved that there was plenty of seating including several outside socially distant fire pits/heaters. I enjoyed an iced chai latte and the Green Giant wrap (roasted veggies, mozzarella, mixed greens and balsamic). I’m surprised this place isn’t talked about more and I hadn’t heard of it. It’s really such a beautiful space with good food and beverages! I can’t wait to come back soon! 📍Hayfields Market 1 Bloomer Road North Salem, NY 10560
EAT: {White Plains} How delicious do these cupcake EAT: {White Plains} How delicious do these cupcakes look?! You can get your own from @bakedtoperfection_ny. Nicole is an ICE pastry arts alumni. Every month she creates a different menu of drool-worthy cupcakes. Last month I ordered s’mores, cookies and cream and salted caramel pretzel cookie cupcakes. We didn’t realize until we cut them in half that the s’mores and salted caramel pretzel cookie cupcakes had filled centers! These cupcakes were so good! I highly recommend Baked to Perfection for your cupcake needs and cravings! Details: *Orders need to be placed a week in advance via the website *There is a minimum order of 6 cupcakes *With an order of 6 cupcakes, you can choose 2 different flavors *Cupcakes are priced differently depending on the type, but start at $4 each *Payment is via Venmo or Zelle *Orders are picked up in White Plains
EAT: {Port Chester} This month, many restaurants EAT: {Port Chester} This month, many restaurants in Port Chester are offering special deals to customers. Since indoor dining opened only recently, many restaurants have lost a lot of business, or even closed. It’s especially important now to eat local and support these restaurants. #EAT4PC We drove down to Port Chester and dined at @maryannspc. While we didn’t take advantage of their February restaurant special, we did enjoy a delicious lunch. We chose Mary Ann’s because they had a large vegetarian menu. Plus, we hadn’t had Mexican food in a long time! I enjoyed the Sabras combo plate which included a cheese relleno, a black bean enchilada and a guacamole taco served with rice and beans. My husband had the Bean, Cheese and Guacamole Burrito baked with red sauce and cheese and my daughter had the Burrito Bowl with roasted veggies. On the weekends Mary Ann’s has a bottomless brunch, which we did not partake in. But my daughter enjoyed a virgin pina colada. Lots of safety measures are in place. The menu is viewed via a QR code on your phone. A carafe of water with disposable cups is placed on the table. We haven’t been dining indoors very much. But we purposely planned our visit close to the restaurant opening to avoid crowds. We were the only ones in the restaurant during our visit. We don’t get down to Port Chester very often. However, we realized there are so many restaurants down here that we need to check out! 📍Mary Ann’s 23 N. Main Street Port Chester, NY 10573
