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! Anyone else? Last year I accomplished a lot, and last Thursday marked my two-year anniversary living in [...]

Focus on Food: Cashews

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.

Focus on Food: Avocado

Avocados are my favorite food hands down. I just can’t get enough of them. Especially as I began to eat a primarily vegetarian/vegan diet over the past two years, avocados became a major part of my diet.

I had to work through lunch today but managed to sneak out for 10 minutes and run over to the local bodega for a sandwich. Over the past few months they’ve started offering healthier options at the sandwich counter including make-your-own salads, veggie burgers, and now falafel. I’m impressed! Bodegas are certainly not famous for [...]
