I spent most of Memorial Day working, cleaning, and packing for my vacation in Trinidad. Yay! After I was done with chores and my workout, I decided to squeeze in a little fun for the holiday. So I headed over to 5 Napkin Burger for an early dinner. I ordered the veggie burger off the [...]

Last week Zagat held their first-ever Food Truck Frenzy in New York City. I bought a ticket right away, but then I had to fly to Florida for an unexpected work trip. So, I gave the ticket to my boyfriend and sent him over to Chelsea on Monday afternoon to get some free grub and [...]

Over the past year I became a little obsessed with coconuts. I’ve been using coconut milk in my soups and stews or anytime I need a milk substitute. I’ve been eating coconut ice cream for treats and even made my own ice cream last summer using coconut meat and cashews. I’m also crazy for coconut [...]

I’ve been meaning to post these pictures of a lentil stew I made a few weeks ago. It was a quick crock-pot meal that I threw together before dance class. I let all the ingredients simmer in there for about 5 or 6 hours and was happy to have a hot stew waiting for me [...]

Drinking plenty of water gives you energy, makes your skin look great, and promotes healthy sexual function, among many other benefits. I’ve actually been on the market for a water filter [...]

Most lettuce wrap recipes I’ve seen are very meat-heavy, but I made mine with all fresh veggies and fruit, including [...]

For Mother’s Day weekend, I took my Mom out for brunch to V-Note, a new vegan bistro and organic wine bar on the Upper East Side, NYC. It was a beautiful sunny day with a high of 70 and we showed up right as the bistro was opening, snagging a perfect spot at a corner [...]

I was always kind of “eh” about kombucha tea, until I tried some great local brands here in NYC. Now I’m crazy for the stuff. Kombucha is a fermented tea that’s been praised for its health benefits for centuries including increased energy, improved digestion, and prevention/treatment of illnesses including common flu and cancer. I started [...]
