Yesterday I checked out a cute little bakery cafe called Maman - and I will definitely be back! While I've been trying to be reasonably frugal while in New York, I also want to take advantage of the numerous gourmet options while I'm here. I particularly love coffee shops and bakeries, and could squander a lot of money there quite easily. However, I'm also quite productive in such places - I love ...
Acai Bowls and More Kale
Over the weekend, a few of the other SURP gals and I tried an acai bowl place for lunch! We were all pretty hungry from a satisfying hour spent poring over books at The Strand book store. With 18 miles of books, a number of reasonably priced titles, and some cute, personalized book recommendation cards, I definitely recommend you check this place out while in NY! I had just checked out four books ...

After a workout in the basement gym of my building, I showered and headed off. I was planning to get spinach, but saw kale and was intrigued, so I picked up a big bunch of it for only $3. I thought about getting radishes too, but couldn’t find the $1 ones I’d ...

We had a thirty or forty-minute walk there, chatting and catching up, and then found a nice spot underneath a tree to settle down. I think ...
Farmer’s Markets and Winning Breakfasts!
This weekend, my SURP pals and I checked out the Union Square Farmer’s Market! We were all very impressed, and plan to return at least weekly. I’ve always enjoyed going to the St. Paul farmer’s market with my mom - both for the fun environment, and the deliciously fresh produce. Thus, I would consider myself a fairly experienced farmer’s market shopper, but the Union Square Greenmarket did ...
Welcome and Caprese!
Hello everyone! My name is Marta, and this is my new blog! I’m a great lover of food - especially desserts - and an avid reader, and I’m excited to start sharing my thoughts, favorite recipes, and book recommendations with all of you! First, two fun facts about me: Basil is my favorite herb, by far! I think it’s excellent in or on just about anything - eggs, salads, hot dogs, black bean ...
