Healthy Eating on Travel

laurel — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:14:32 +0000

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 [...]

Veggie Skewers w/ Chimichurri

Centering your meals around vegetables is a great healthy practice and helps you feel satisfied instead of stuffed when you’re done eating. On Friday, my best buddy Lauren was in town for the weekend and we stayed in for dinner and a movie at home. She wanted to make some kind of skewers, and with [...]

Fresh Fish, Part 1

laurel — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:41:30 +0000

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 [...]

Happy New Year’s my friends! The holiday season is gone and it’s time to start fresh. Wait, hold up. I don’t know about you, but I still feel like sleeping for a week before going back to work!

Focus on Food: Cashews

laurel — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:45:06 +0000

I have always loved cashews as a satisfying snack, especially around Christmas time when my Dad would keep bowls of cashews around the house. I would eat TONS and TONS of them. But, since I started exploring more with vegetarian cooking and non-cooking over the past two years, I have found that cashews are one [...]
