I love New York City.

I love the architecture of the old apartment buildings with the fire escapes.

The pretty Fall leaves.

The perfect crisp breeze when you’re walking through Central Park.

But really, there’s no place like home.

Plus, I’m sure my body can’t possibly stuff in any more Levain cookies.

I mean…

Let’s be honest here.

That’s the real reason why I’m going home.

Because I cant. stop. eating those cookies.

And now that I am back in Los Angeles, I can’t stop eating this Mexican skillet dinner.

I’ve already had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And then another Levain cookie for dessert.

Yes, I obviously took a box of cookies home with me.
