Ya know how I was talking about centering your meal around vegetables? Here’s an easy, healthy veggie wrap I made that’s great for a light lunch or dinner. I’ve been eating them every day this week, and they only take 5 minutes to prepare. Adding lots of tasty spreads and a dash of salt and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last night I made a quick appetizer that fits into the ever popular Mediterranean diet. In case you aren’t familiar with it, the Mediterranean diet is a diet rich in olive oil, beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. It’s great for for your skin, it’s recommended by many doctors for the disease-fighting benefits, and it’s [...]

Easy Vegetable Curry

Let’s face it, I love curry. All kinds. I fell in love with curry as a kid. My dad makes a Southern style yellow curry with chicken, celery, onions, butter, flour, and stock that I used to beg him to make. I’ve still never tasted anything like it. He makes it very strong with lots [...]

Vegan Alfredo Sauce

I invited some friends over for dinner last Sunday and was having such a hard time deciding what to make. It’s so frustrating when that happens! After brainstorming for a day or two I decided on a creamy pasta dish with vegetables. I wanted it to be delicious and comforting but also vegan. After scouring [...]

Vegetarian Chili

I’ve been meaning to share this vegetarian chili recipe for awhile now, so here it finally is! I like thick chilis loaded with ingredients and extra vegetables to make it thick and pleasing for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The mushrooms and zucchini are non-traditional additions but I think they really make it great. Try [...]
