Who doesn’t love nachos? It’s been awhile since I had any and wanted to try out a healthier vegan-friendly version that’s not greasy. I’ve decided I’m definitely making these at the next party or BBQ this summer. I didn’t include specific measurements in this recipe because it really doesn’t matter. Just load up a plate [...]

It’s great to have some reliable frozen foods around when I’m not up to making a full meal for lunch or dinner. One of my favorite brands for meat-free frozen foods is Gardein. I recently tried out their Ultimate Beefless Burger and WOW. It’s probably my favorite frozen veggie burger I’ve tried so far. First [...]

I had some frozen mushroom tortellinis to use up last week and needed a quick sauce to toss them with. Pesto (minus the cheese) is an easy fall back sauce for me, but I had an idea to use hemp seeds in place of nuts for a change. If you’ve never tried hemp seeds, you [...]

Yesterday I donated some baked goods to the NYC Food Blogger Bake Sale at Brooklyn Flea. The day-long event raised funds to support Share Our Strength, the national non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger by 2015 (check out all the sponsors and contributors for the bake sale here). I knew that sweets would be [...]

I just started reading Kathy Freston’s new book, The Lean. It’s an easy 30-day plan to clean up your diet by forming new healthy habits. I already know how to do that, but I’m a big fan of Kathy’s books and I figure I can always learn something new (or be reminded of healthy tweaks [...]

To make ‘em extra healthy, I swapped the tortilla wraps with collard greens. Collards are my favorite green [...]

Sloppy joes are one of those fun comfort foods we all had as a kid. I loved them growing up because they were messy. My other favorite messy food was BBQ chicken with tons of sauce on top. My eating habits have certainly changed over the years, but I can usually find a way to make [...]

Sunday is my day to treat myself. I often cook on Sunday nights and it’s a great time to make something out of the ordinary or something that feels like a “cheat” dish. All we wanna do is relax and enjoy the hours off work, right? So yesterday I spent the first half of the [...]

I’m always thrilled when a new healthy and/or vegetarian place opens up closer to home. I live near the Upper West Side of NYC and was excited to hear that the East Side’s well-known vegan restaurant Candle Cafe opened up a West side location on April 1st. My man and I dropped in for a [...]

Last night I made salads for dinner. Big homemade salads are my favorite go-to meal, and with highs in the 60s yesterday, NYC was finally starting to feel like Spring. I took a walk after going to the gym, got a pedicure, and then cruised over to a health food store to get some organic [...]
