New York City Doesn’t Love You

Are you okay? Is New York getting to you? Are things not going according to plan?

Stop whining. For fuck’s sake. 

The plan you don’t plan for isn’t the plan you planned but it’s usually more original. Isn’t that why you moved to New York? To be original?

God, you didn’t move to play make-believe, did you?

Stabbed my self pretty good yesterday while making a culinary gag gift for someone. The universe didn't seem to want much fun out of me. It's on universe, it's on. #ouch

Was a snowy morning here in Connecticut, so I've been cooking all morning. For my own amusement and in honor of all things girly I made a heart shaped pastelillo wrap. Sans the sparkle. For now. This one's for you @tinyfeetz #empanadas #heart #love #paleo #glutenfree #grainfree made adjustments to the amazing paleo naan created by #myheartbeetsblog

Made a quick lunch of carnitas tacos with the empanada dough I overcooked while sending photos of said dough and recipe to my mother so I may be included in future family empanada/pastelillo chow downs when I visit. My apparent mild A.D.D and unnecessary useless multi-tasking condition leads to a good mistake every once in awhile. And that's not cheese or sour cream on them, it's @anitasyogurt 's amazing coconut yogurt mixed w cilantro, lemon, scallions, and coriander. It's the only covonut yogurt I've had that I can use in place of sour cream and greek yogurt (which had been my sour cream replacement fir some time). You need this yogurt in your life. Period. #anitasyogurt #paleo #myheartbeets #paleodiet #grainfree #tacos #glutenfree #dairyfree #nightshadefree

Happy Valentine's Day! (Omg, I'm such a fake!) Got to learning how & making my own breakfast sausage, sans all I'm allergic to. I got my online lesson from Literary Mom on Food.com ;) Recipe below, I made some minor changes to suit my needs. These, in general, have a kick to them. You can try 1/2 tsp of pepper if you prefer mild. Recipe: 1 tsp Lemon Salt 1 tsp ground sage 1 tsp Fresh Sage (chopped) 1 tsp fennel Seed 1 tsp Fresh Thyme 1 tsp Black Pepper 1/2 tsp White Pepper 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder 1/8 tspGround Cloves 1/8 tsp Nutmeg 1/8 tsp Allspice I brushed mine w maple syrup while it was cooking on the griddle.

For those of you who had concerns or may have lost sleep over my midnight matters, I have in fact found my missing stash of polish, which included my Diosa Nails "Fushia Plans", and have polished and already even chipped and smudged a few nails. All is back to normal. #girlproblems #americangirlproblems #nails #diosanails

Making my own turkey sausage breakfast patties seem to take less time than finding ones I am not allergic to in the market. Can't wait for tomorrow morning! #breakfast #allergenfree #paleo #paleodiet #spices #homemadefood
