Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayo

September 20, 2017

I just celebrated a birthday and as I get older I realize how the food I eat affects how I feel. As much as I love cheeseburgers and fries, I know I cannot have them everyday. I have two sisters who are vegetarians and one who’s trying to limit the meat in her diet. So you can imagine the pressure I get from them when I blog mostly about non-vegetarian…

January is National Hot Tea Month

January 4, 2017

You learn a lot about someone when you start living with them and you either love or hate those things. Then you get married and you just learn to love the things you used to hate. I knew I loved Brian even more when I found out he shared my love for tea. We have a nightly ritual where we end every day on the couch reading, watching TV –…

Vegetarian Sweet Potato Hash with Fresh Avocado

March 29, 2016

Our friend Ashley made a delicious sweet potato hash for our “First Day of Fall” party a few months ago. It was delicious. When thinking about what we were going to make for Brunch this past Easter weekend, we had a leftover sweet potato from our sweet potato mash and tilapia dinner the other night. Using Ashley’s dish as a guide, we put our twist on this and made vegetarian sweet potato hash. Hash can…

Immunity Smoothie

August 10, 2015

When I’m on the subway or walking to work, I cringe when I see people cough without covering their mouth. It’s gross. And if they’re sick, then I’m being exposed to their germs. Summer colds are the worst. Travel colds? Move over. As this post launches, we’re currently in the air on our way to Cabo. For the last few weeks, we’ve been drinking an immunity boosting smoothie to keep our…

Garden Thyme: Green Machines

May 19, 2015

Lettuce is one of the few vegetables that is the easiest to grow, and staple green machines hardcore smoothies. This year, I’ve done kale, bib lettuce and red romaine. All of these lettuces are tolerant to colder weather, shade and can last well through the fall. You’d be surprised how well they’re easy to grow in containers. Last year, I put romaine in my garden and it brought all the animals…

Energy Bites

July 28, 2014

Do you go to the gym in the morning? These last few weeks have been an “after-work” kind of gym experience. When I get up early enough to go before work or when I head over after work, I’m STARVING! I always pack an apple to eat on my way down to the gym. But halfway through my workout, my stomach is like, “Yo – where’s my food.” I suppress this…

Cucumber Lemon Detox

Looking for a natural, refreshing detox? Did you endure the 7 Day Cleanse I blogged about? In an effort to find a safe, natural detox, we tried out a popular Cucumber Lemon Detox on Pinterest. This is not a crazy crash diet, so make sure you eat normally 😉 The original recipe called for 2 lemons, half a cucumber, and 10 mint leaves in 3 quarts of water. We made each…

Sweet Green Smoothie

March 19, 2013

Umm…yum! This was one of those pins that blew up on Pinterest (from The Beauty Thesis). You know the ones; you see them every single day on every person’s board. No? Maybe I’m the only Pinterest troll. I wanted to see what the hype was about. This smoothie was said to give you lots of energy and make you feel good – that’s why I wanted to try it. I’ve…

Cucumber Salmon

January 28, 2013

At half time, just before Beyonce performs, you walk into the living room with your new appetizer. The room, wanting more of your delicious food, turn their heads to you, their eyes following your every move. Hesitation sets in. What is it? Will it be good? Staring awkwardly at your creation, the room is silent. Your toughest critic, the 12 year old cousin who hates all food unless topped with ketcup, gets…

Color Run

August 25, 2012

Today we participated in the NYC Color Run! We had so much fun. The day started at 4:45 4:30am, 15 minutes before my alarm went off. I rolled out of bed to a bowl of corn flakes. After brushing our teeth and getting our stuff together, we ventured off at 5:10am for the 4 express subway at 86th street. Note #1: The 4 express is NOT express at 5am on…
