After a month in Ghana and St. Barths, I’m slowly easing my way back into events in NYC. I went to Brasserie Saint Marc last night for The Fizz Is Female reception honoring Tawnya Faulker of Le Grand Courtage. The brand is near and dear to me. They generously gave us French sparkling wine and […]

I cook dinner almost every night of the week because I truly enjoy coming up with recipes or remaking my favorite dishes.  There are those times where cooking is the last thing on my mind because I am pre-occupied with something else.  T usually comes home from work asking “whats for dinner.” I have a […]

For once, the label doesn’t lie. I recently got my hands on Comsi Comsa by Sauvage, an apple sparkling wine made in New York.  This apple cider is made with the traditional Champagne technique which is evident upon first sip. I’m very particular about my sparkling wines and champagnes.  They have to be brut or […]

Growing up in a Ghanaian household, my mom never fully adopted the American style of cooking. Sure we made the occasional spaghetti or meatloaf but most of the non-traditional meals we devoured were from French cookbooks my mom had used for years. I lived for my mom’s cooking, especially jollof rice and her okra stew.  […]

It’s T here taking over for Makeda on her Travel Tuesday series.  I’ve been getting a bit more involved on her blog as she redesigns and re-brands it into a lifestyle destination for glam girls who love fashion, food, decor and travel.   I’ll be popping in on occasion to give my two cents on food, […]

Good morning, everyone! It’s T. Makeda and I are flashing back on our whirlwind adventure in Boston last weekend and I thought it would be a cool opportunity to share my thoughts on our dinner at the Bristol Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston.  After all, I am the foodie in our relationship.  […]

I have become a cocktail connoisseur since moving to New York almost nine years ago.  The city is teeming with craft cocktail bars that create some of the most exquisite drinks for my taste buds.  In my single days, my girlfriends and I used to Apotheke, Employees Only, Whiskey Tavern and Mulberry Project on Thursday […]

We just got back from an amazing Puerto Rico trip that included some fun foodie adventures. Needless to say, we’ve decided to keep things light this week. We kicked off Monday with a meatless roasted beet and sweet potato bowl with an egg on top. I was craving a healthy chicken dish last night but […]

There’s nothing better than crispy bacon served with eggs and a piece of Bread Alone French Sourdough toast and grass fed butter. Aside from a strong Bloody Mary or Mimosa of course. As a breakfast aficionado, there are several basic skills I had to learn and perfect in order to make perfect breakfast in a […]

I started meal planning a lot more this summer, which made my life a lot easier to handle.  Now that I have to cook for two people, I can’t procrastinate and just seamless.  The beau always wants something home cooked instead of brown bagged so I have been cooking a lot more.  One of the […]

My downstairs neighbor brought me a whole bunch of mint leaves last week as a gift because she knows how much I love sun brewed teas.  Anyone ever try sun brewed tea? There is something about allowing tea to sit in the sun to brew for hours instead of using hot water.  You get this […]

Thank God it’s Friday! After such a hectic week, mama needs a cool, stiff cocktail to unwind.  One of my favorite liquors is gin.  In fact, the gin martini is my go to drink on any given day.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the sweet stuff too but there’s only so much sweet drinks […]
