It’s Day 2 of the “7 Days of Cold Weather Recipes” blogathon, and I’m so thankful for the sun shining through my window. It’s a “warm” 38 degrees right now in New York, but we’re supposed to drop to 14 tonight, so I’ll definitely be bundled up on my way out to the gym. Today’s [...]

Doesn’t it feel great when you have a light lunch that doesn’t drag you down the rest of the afternoon? I made a quick smoothie today that I just love. I got the idea for putting avocados in smoothies after I tried it at a raw juice bar a couple weeks ago. Avocados are super [...]

I regularly eat salads for lunch. They’re light, fresh, and don’t make me feel sluggish for the remainder of the afternoon.
