It was the perfect time of year to visit with the hustle and bustle of Times Square as well as other touristy spots. However, this trip was not planned but an opportunity that presented itself.

This has been a great week for SavorySweetLife.com. On Sunday, I was one of the Tasting Panelist for the 2009Seattle Luxury Chocolate Salon sampling an insane amount of artisan chocolate from around the country. Then on Monday, Jaden Hair of SteamyKitchen.com featured one of my recipes on tv and on her blog. If that wasn’t cool enough, I am being featured in an interview for CafeMom.com today. If you’re unfamiliar with CafeMom, they are the largest community for moms AND women’s/parenting site on the internet surpassing iVillage, Babycenter, and MarthaStewart.com. So it really is an honor to be interviewed by them. If you would like to see more of my kitchen and family (yes the picture above are of my adorable daughters), you can read the interview here. And before you go, please keep reading the rest of this post to see how you can win a copy of “Too Many Cooks” by Emily Franklin as well as a small gift card to Starbucks. Thank you to everyone who participated. A winner has been selected! [click to continue…]
