Let me introduce you to NYC’s finest.
Not, not these guys.
But THE MEATBALL SHOP.
What is the meatball shop you ask? In a word, heaven.
Where else can you select a protein option (chicken, pork, beef, vegetarian, etc) paired with your favorite sauce and cheese to be served over the dish of your choice — mashed potatoes, pasta, veggies to name a few! Me? I kept things simple and went for the old-fashioned meatball sub.
Mamma mia!
Holy moses. Bursting with flavor, the meatballs were tender and juicy, perfectly seasoned. The dough was just crunchy enough on the outside to hold up to all the gooey goodness while the inside became soaked with saucy flavor.
Need I say more?
Oh yes, yes I do. Did I mention The Meatball Shop also serves homemade ice cream sandwiches? The best part: you can mix and match your cookie selections! I chose chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip with vanilla ice cream.
Why, hello gorgeous.
Don’t worry, it was as good as it looks 
Sure, there are lots of restaurants I still want to try in NYC. But next time, I can ASSURE you I will be returning to The Meatball Shop — maybe twice I encourage you to do the same. Make sure you bring extra napkins, good things tend to get messy!
One of my favorite things about our Puerto Rico vacation was the fact that we had no plans. So often we jam-pack our vacations with crazy itineraries and excursions. It was nice to only worry about planning to reapply our sunscreen. Most of our days were spent reading at the beach, lounging in the pool and, of course, eating delicious food. (Don’t worry, we did get some fun activities in there, too!)
One of my favorite lunches:
Roasted duck salad with fresh oranges, tossed in a lime vinaigrette.
Best enjoyed poolside
This dish just screamed “summer!” to me, I loved the sweetness of the orange and the tangy tartness the lime dressing provided.
What’s your favorite poolside treat?
I think breakfast might be my favorite meal of the day.
And it’s definitely one of my favorite meals to eat OUT. Especially when a city (like Chicago!) is sprinkled with heavenly spots like JAM.
My super cool aunt was kind enough to take me to the hot new spot before driving me to the airport.
Upon sitting down, we were presented with these little gobs of goodness.
Mini marmalade muffins with orange cream.
Adorable! Too adorable to eat? NEVER!
The homemade granola and greek yogurt immediately caught my eye.
See the raspberry preserves in the middle?
If there’s a hell, it’s a room of people being forced to watch others eat raspberry preserves and not getting to try any themselves.
Seriously.
What’s your favorite flavor of JAM?
