Last Friday was a crazy day in NYC. Hurricane Irene was on the way and all the New Yorkers were zipping around town picking up water, food, beer, and any hurricane “essential” items they needed. I made a big grocery trip to Whole Foods but also made some time to swing by the Babycakes vegan [...]

For one thing, I had overripe bananas that needed to be used and also a bag of fresh clementine oranges.

It’s Day 2! I’ve been dying to grill some more fruit on my Calphalon grill pan, so I picked up fresh pineapple slices at Trader Joe’s on my way home from the gym. I had a pretty frustrating and stressful day of work (typical Monday), so a long cardio workout and homemade dessert were exactly [...]

Today is the first day of my “7 Days of Healthy Desserts” marathon! It was a luxury to have an extra hour of sleep, but I still can’t believe the weekend is over already. I stopped by the super busy Union Square market on Saturday morning and picked up some wine sap apples. This special [...]
