Easy Easter Desserts

Carrot Cookie Bites

If you love carrot cake, but are looking for a new twist on a classic, then be sure to try out these carrot cookie bites! This delicious recipe is by Taste of Home.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup shortening
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the oats, carrots and pecans.
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Bunny Oreo Balls

If you are looking for a cute dessert, check out these Oreo Bunny Balls from the Food Network!

Ingredient:

1 pack of oreos- you can use gluten free, regular or double stuffed!

6 ounces cream cheese 

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar  

3/4 teaspoon meringue powder (available in the baking aisle) 

Pink gel food coloring  

Black gel food coloring 

2 cups white candy melting wafers (about 13 ounces) 

1 teaspoon refined coconut oil  

White sanding sugar, for decorating 

Pink sanding sugar, for decorating 

45 mini marshmallows  

Instructions: 

1. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Pulse the cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and pulse together until the mixture begins to ball up. Transfer to a large bowl and knead together a few times until completely combined.
3. Roll about 1/3 of the mixture into 18 truffles (about 1 level tablespoon each) and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Roll the remaining mixture into 18 larger truffles, (about 1 heaping tablespoon each), and place on the second prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm and chilled through, about 1 hour.
4. While the truffles chill, prepare the decorations.
5. For the royal icing, combine the confectioner’s sugar and meringue powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on low speed just to combine. Add 2 1/2 teaspoons water and increase the speed to medium. Beat the mixture until the icing is stiff enough to hold a peak but soft enough to pipe, about 2 minutes. If the icing gets too stiff, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more water.
6. Divide the icing evenly between 2 bowls. Tint one bowl of icing bright pink using the pink food coloring. Tint the remaining bowl of icing with the black food coloring. Transfer the pink and black icings to separate piping bags (with no cut openings) or to resealable plastic bags and set aside.
7. For the white coating, combine the candy melting wafers and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the wafers are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute 20 seconds. Set aside.
8. Put some white sanding sugar and pink sanding sugar in separate bowls.
9. For the bunny tails: Cut 9 of the marshmallows crosswise to create 18 halves. Carefully dip one flat side of each marshmallow piece in the white candy coating, let the excess drip off and then dip in the white sanding sugar. Place each marshmallow piece sugar-side up on a plate to set. These will be the bunny tails.
10. For the bunny ears: Cut 18 of the marshmallows in half on the diagonal to create 18 pairs of bunny ears. Dip the cut side of each marshmallow piece in the pink sanding sugar. Place sugar-side up on the plate with the tails to set.
11. For the bunny feet: Cut the remaining 18 marshmallows in half lengthwise to create 18 pairs of feet. Set aside on the plate with the tails and ears.
12. Put a truffle in the white coating and use 2 forks to evenly coat. Lift out the truffle, letting any excess drip off, then return to the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining truffles (both sizes) until all are all coated. If the coating cools to room temperature during the dipping process, microwave it in 20-second intervals to reheat. Reserve the leftover white coating to use as glue for the tails, ears and feet.
13. For the heads: Dip the bottoms of 2 bunny ears in the leftover white coating, place on top of a small truffle and hold in place until the coating sets, about 15 seconds. Snip a very small tip off the corner of each bag of icing. Pipe a small pink heart for a nose on the front (face) of the truffle. Pipe a pair of eyes and mouth using the black royal icing. Repeat with the remaining small truffles.
14. For the bottoms: Dip the cut side of a marshmallow tail in the leftover white coating. Place the tail on top of one of the large truffles and hold in place until the coating sets, about 15 seconds. Dip the cut sides of two marshmallow feet in the leftover white coating. Position them on the truffle below the tail and hold until set in place. Use the pink royal icing to pipe a large oval on the top each foot and 3 small circles underneath for toes. Repeat with the remaining large truffles.
15. Return all the truffles to the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes. Serve chilled.

Holiday season is here! Finding outdoor activities close to your Glenwood apartment for you and your family will help make lasting memories! Visiting the Rockefeller Tree this year is a fun, distanced activity that is enjoyable for all! If you saw pictures of the tree when it first arrived, you may know it came in looking a bit disheveled- but don’t fear, it has gotten branch extensions (yes apparently that is a real thing!) and it now looks full and beautiful. Keep reading to find out more about visiting the tree this year.

History Of The Rockefeller Tree

This is Rockefeller Center’s 92nd annual Christmas Tree! The first tree was back in December of 1931. The workers paid for a 20-foot-tall tree to lift spirits! They even created their own tree ornaments and garlands. Holiday cheer can lift spirits- which is especially important this year! 

When To Visit

The 74-foot tree will be on display through the beginning of January and you can visit from 6am to 12am. On New Year’s Eve, you can only visit until 9pm. It can get crowded, so if you have the chance to visit during an hour that isn’t so popular, try that to get the closest and best view possible!

Where Did This Year’s Tree Come From

This year’s tree is 74 feet tall and came from West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. When the tree is taken down, the wood becomes used for Habitat For Humanity. Then, the search for the following year’s tree begins again- it takes months to locate the perfect tree!

Glenwood’s Environmental Focus

Glenwood places an emphasis on being conscious of the environment we build in- whether that is implementing new green technology or planting green around our buildings. Our latest Green endeavor has been installing CarbonQuest’s revolutionary carbon capture technology that is designed to prevent up to 5,000 tons of total emissions per year at The Grand Tier and is actively installing the system across 5 more buildings, The Fairmont, The Bristol, The Paramount Tower, The Barclay, and The Somerset- 2.5 million square feet of residential space.

Green Building Emphasis

Many of the organization’s newest offerings, such as Emerald Green, Crystal Green, Hawthorn Park and the Encore, are built to LEED specifications. Glenwood buys “Green Power” energy, the electricity comes from nationally sourced wind RECs-Renewable Energy Credits. In addition, these buildings utilize a Demand Shifter, which is a power storage battery that is able to store electricity during off-peak hours and maintain a charge to use during high-demand hours. With the ability to power off the city grid, this Demand Shifter helps to protect New York City from a brown out or black out. Additionally, many Glenwood building garages have charging stations for electric cars. 

Planting Green

Every year, Glenwood plants over 120,000 tulip bulbs! Glenwood strives to make a commitment to be green inside and outside our properties! This spring, take a walk past our Glenwood buildings and you will be sure to see all the hard work and dedication to making our neighborhoods beautiful each spring!

When you think of fall you think apple picking, right?  We know there are plenty of farmers markets in NYC but there is something about picking those granny smiths right off the tree that make your experience a little bit more memorable. And, guess what? There are plenty of orchards just a hop, skip and a train ride away. Below we’ve rounded up five of our favorite farms that are accessible via public transportation. Another bonus? You’ll never run into any traffic jams when you take the train! Happy picking!

Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm

Located in Yorktown Heights, NY, Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm is now celebrating their 102nd year of harvest! You’ll enjoy a hayride out to the orchard (yeehaw!), and along with collecting apples, you can also stock up on Halloween pumpkins. If you’re planning ahead, it’s worth noting that starting the Saturday after Thanksgiving, you can even chop down your own Christmas tree! There is a corn maze and great treats too!

Cost: No admission cost, you are only charged for the apples you pick (which varies depending on type.) Credit cards are accepted.

How to get there: Take Metro-North to the Croton-Harmon or Peekskill stations, and then a taxi ride.

Maskers Orchard

Located in Warwick, NY, Maskers Orchard is known for their fresh crisp apples, country store filled with fall favorites like apple butter and homemade jams, wagon rides and baby farm animals. The weekends are filled with face painting and pony rides for the kids and free musical performances for the parents. While you are there, don’t forget to pick the best pumpkin to carve, get spooked in their Haunted House and lose yourself in the Apple Maze. If that isn’t enough to cram into one day, I don’t know what is!

Cost: No admission cost, and if you go midweek, you will get $2.00 off your bag of apples! 

How to get there: Take the New Jersey Transit’s #196 or #197 bus from Port Authority to Willowbrook Station in Warwick. The orchard is 1/2 mile down the road, which you can either stroll or take a taxi.

Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard

Located in North Salem, NY, Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard offers so much more than apples. During weekends in October, you can enjoy their fall festivals, which include pony rides, face painting, bouncy houses, pumpkin picking, and cider drinking.

Note: You will need to make a reservation, and each reservation only allows one car! There is a 2 hr time slot for each reservation. 

How to get there: Take Metro-North to the Croton Falls station, and then a taxi ride.

Ahhh, February 14th, the most romantic day of the year in New York City! Whether you love it, hate it, or prefer to use it as excuse to treat yourself to flowers, chocolate, and other sweet gestures, we’ve teamed up with Cupid himself to showcase the best options to celebrate this day of love – and yourself! Here’s how to create the perfect Valentine’s Day in 5 easy steps:

1. Order Fresh Flowers

It’s Valentine’s Day… so send flowers to someone special in your life! Whether it be your beau, your mom, sister, aunt, best friend, or your grandmother, pick up a colorful bouquet that fits their personality.

If the receiver lives within Manhattan, stop at your local neighborhood bodega and create your own bundle of blooms, finished with a sweet Valentine’s note. If you’re sending an arrangement out of town, try the company BloomThat. Not only are they wrapped in the prettiest burlap and tied with color coordinating ribbons (completely ready to be Instagrammed), but the flowers stay fresh for SO long!

Bonus for New Yorkers: Enjoy same day delivery in NYC if you want to surprise someone in the office!

2. Buy Local Chocolate

Valentine’s Day is the sweetest day to celebrate your special someone with edible treats they’ll actually want. Afterall, we do live in a city filled with artisan chocolatiers!

Pick up some delectable chocolates from a local sweet shop or via online. Jacques Torres Chocolate, Ladurée, and Maison du Chocolate are three great chocolate stores in Manhattan worth checking out. If you are looking for chocolate strawberries, be sure to check out Agata and Valentina, which is located very close to Glenwood’s The Lucerne, The Pavilion and many other Upper East Side Glenwood buildings.

3. Plan a Special Date

February 14th does not mean you’re expected to make a fancy reservation and see a movie. Instead, break that mold! Avoid overpriced bistros, crowded bars, and overworked wait staff with a new kind of date that suits both you and your Valentine.

How does a swanky soiree at the American Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side sound?  The night begins with an open bar of cocktails and champagne, passed hors d’oeuvres and chocolate, while a jazz quartet plays in the background. Snuggle close in the Hayden Planetarium while an astronomer tells sweet stories based on the cosmos. Will your stars align? This event is a short cab ride for residents of The Encore – so dress your best for a lovely night out close to home! Or a glass blowing class in Brooklyn?! Get creative the city has so many fun and cool experiences you can plan!

4. Send Snail-Mail Cards

When’s the last time you received a piece of mail that wasn’t junk or a bill? Receiving snail mail is one of life’s smallest but greatest pleasures, and this simple gesture can bring so much joy to your loved ones, both near and far. Whether your Glenwood building is in Midtown East or the East Side of Manhattan, head over to Greenwich Letterpress and stock up on cute cards and stationary (they have a fabulous Valentine’s Day selection!), pen a sweet note, and drop them in the nearest post box. You’ll be sure to bring a smile to a lot of faces!

Theres a great stationary store with fantastic cards located close the many of the Glenwood Upper East Side buildings- Paper Source on 1296 3rd Avenue!

5. Renew Your Vows or Be Inspired by Others Who Are

Two of the most romantic places you can spend your Valentine’s Day in Manhattan is Central Park and Times Square!

Every year, couples are encouraged to show up on the famed red steps of Times Square where they can renew their wedding vows in front of the world. This year, while all are clearly welcome, a special invitation has been extended to lovers who’s relationship bridge boundaries. Wedding attire is always encouraged, too!

For a more intimate atmosphere, Central Park is always our recommended go-to destination to enjoy some quality time with your beau. Take a walk around the reservoir, enjoy a cozy carriage ride, or snuggle up on a nearby bench. We bet you’ll find a few other couples doing the exact same!

Swoon over these ideas for Valentine’s Day? Share with us on Facebook and Twitter on how you shared love in the air!

For The Kids Who Love Art Projects: The Craft Studio

If your child is a budding Picasso (or just enjoys the ritual of gluing glitter to everything!), The Craft Studio on the Upper East Side is a fantastic option for some back to school activities. They offer classes in painting, sculpting, design and other crafting skills. Themes range from “Toddler Art” for the littlest ones, to “Tween Fall Party Movie Night”, where they’ll watch a Halloween themed movie and make slime, while munching down on pizza and snacks.

• Flower pots
• Scarves
• Lamps

Located on the Upper West Side, classes vary from beginning basics to advanced levels of ballet, tap, jazz, theater dance, hip hop, and modern. End of the year rehearsals are anticipated events for both the students and their parents, where the kids will be able to showcase their newly learned skills (in costume, of course!) It’s worth noting that graduates from School At Steps have gone on to do big things with their dance careers, including starring in Broadway’s Hamilton!

For The Kids Who Love Sports: Asphalt Green

Asphalt Green, located on the Upper East Side, is the perfect spot to sign your child up for after school activities. With a menu of athletic options including soccer, baseball, martial arts, flag football, and swimming, there’ss truly something for everyone!

Classes for all the sports are broken up into age groups, and hosted either during after school hours or on the weekend. If you’re planning ahead for school breaks, go ahead and schedule your child now for one of their mini-camps, which includes these same sporty activities in a shorter summer camp structure. Camps throughout the school year cover all the breaks that align with NYC Public Schools, including holiday break (end of December through January), February break, and Spring break (which falls in April this year.)

The best part of both Asphalt Green and The Craft Studio is that they are situated right on the Upper East Side, meaning that if you live in an Upper East Side Glenwood luxury building, you’re in the same neighborhood as them. How’s that for back to school ease and convenience?
