Instagram Pics

I love my iPhone and Instagram is one of my favorite apps. I love how easy it is to add a fun/interesting filter to my cell phone pictures and view and share them with my friends. It is such a great tool! The past week I’ve had lots of fun uploading new pics and wanted [...]

Veggie Pizza Night

Last Friday night I made my boyfriend’s favorite, a homemade pizza with lots of vegetables. Pizza is always a treat, so I feel better about eating it when it’s prepared at home with fresh vegetables and vegan cheese. I prepped all the ingredients ahead of time and asked my man to roll out the crust [...]

Growing Vegetables at Home

My sister in Florida bought a house last year and she’s been fixing up her backyard little by little. One of her big goals is to grow her own vegetables. She started with a tomato plant and there are already 5 baby tomatoes growing bigger each day. Last weekend she planted a big box of [...]

Spiced Pea Soup

Okay, so I am fully aware that pea soup is not at the top of everyone’s list for “appetizing” foods…in fact for a lot of people, it might be at the bottom of that list. I used to think pea soup was just gross looking. I had only tried it once or twice and it [...]

Amy’s Vegan Margherita Pizza

I was picking up some frozen foods at Westerly’s last week and was excited to see they were carrying the new Vegan Margherita Pizza with Daiya Cheese from Amy’s Kitchen. I love using Daiya cheese on my own homemade pizzas, and let’s be honest, it’s nice to have a frozen pizza around for those days [...]

Organic Avenue – Upper West Side

Organic Avenue, one of my favorite fresh juice companies in NYC, just opened up an Upper West Side boutique, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Organic Avenue is known for its amazing raw/organic/vegan juices and detox cleanses, but their boutique stores are also a great place to stock up on healthy snacks, supplements, or fresh [...]

Healthy Eating on Travel

The past two weeks I’ve been in Florida for a work trip. It’s been a lot of long hours at work, but I’ve also had time to spend with my friends and family and their sweet puppy dogs. Oh, and the weather in Florida has been just heavenly! Sunny during the day and cool at [...]

Review: Quintessence

On one of the coldest days in NYC this year, my friend Lauren and I traveled to the lower east side for brunch at a raw vegan restaurant called Quintessence. We snuggled in to a corner table by the door. Thank goodness we were seated next to a heater because we were freezing! I guess [...]

Review: Hummus Place (Again)

Greetings from Florida! I’m working in FL for the next few weeks, and I’m really enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, and time with friends. It doesn’t even feel like winter here. I laid out by the pool yesterday for Pete’s sake. I’m here to work, but I’m determined to enjoy myself too. Almost exactly one [...]
