Yesterday I shared my recipe for a grilled sea bass sandwich with sriracha mayo in the Fresh Fish, Part 1 post. Today I’ve got a make-you-drool crab and scallop chowder. This is a perfect meal for the winter time. It’s warm and comforting and great to pair with a small salad or serving of green [...]

Last weekend I bought some fresh seafood from Fairway, a well-known grocery store in NYC. In my opinion, Fairway is one of the best places to buy seafood because their fish counter is nestled inside a walk-in refrigerated section of the store that ensures everything stays super fresh. The fish is always kept super cold [...]

Last week I went on vacation with my boyfriend to Trinidad. We visited family members, ate lots of delicious local food, sipped many drinks, and relaxed with no phones or computers. Ahh, the life! I absolutely loved the food I had while I was in Trinidad and took a bunch of pictures. We spent our [...]

When I was little, I LOVED taco night. My Mom would chop up tons of fresh vegetables and let us build our own soft or hard tacos with a huge spread on the family table. We traditionally had lean beef tacos back then, but these days my favorite kind of tacos are shrimp or fish. [...]

This week I had a chance to try some canned tuna and salmon from Wild Planet Foods. What’s cool about Wild Planet is their canned seafood products are sustainably sourced from “eco-preferable fisheries.” (Check out Wild Planet’s website to learn more about their Sustainability and Fishing Methods.) I tried the albacore tuna for breakfast yesterday [...]

I came down with a little cold the past few days. Ugh. As soon as I got back to NY it hit me hard. At the end of my FL vacation, I was running around between different families, traveling, and then flying back to a drastically different climate. But, after a few days of rest [...]

Last week I dropped by another Wellness Wednesday event hosted by fashion designer Norma Kamali in her Wellness Cafe in Midtown, NYC. I attended a raw food tasting and demo at Norma’s cafe in October, and knew I wanted to come back for some of the future events. Last week’s event featured Vital Choice, a [...]

Halloween week was a blast, but I am still recovering. I went to a couple crazy parties, performed in a parade, and even scored a few tickets to see Prince at Madison Square Garden in December. All-in-all, I had such a great weekend and it was fun to take a few days away from work [...]

This is Day 7 of my blogging marathon: “7 Days of Healthy Eating Out.” Read the details on my marathon here. I’ve been trying to make an effort to spend more time outside, and the sun was shining bright today, so I posted up at one of my all-time favorite restaurants in the city and [...]
