I took a short hiatus from posting because we've had out of town guests for the past week. They left today and I'm now looking forward to getting back to my routine. Don't get me wrong, I love having visitors but it's often necessary to give up eating and exercise patterns along with any sense of a schedule for the sake of accomodation. It's a good thing to be able to do this gracefully but one … [Read more...]

Your Pantry Staple and 3-Ingredient Recipes
Over the weekend I was relaxing with this month's issue of Real Simple and the question posed to readers was this: What is your favorite pantry staple? The answers ranged from pickles to pasta. I gave this some thought and figured mine would have to be tempeh. A product of Indonesia, tempeh is a high-protein fermented food traditionally made from soybeans. It has a bold, nutty flavor and a dense … [Read more...]
Never Underestimate a Sardine
One food I am loving right now is sardines. There. I can't believe I said it. You wouldn't believe the disgusted looks I get when I admit this. But if you have never considered adding sardines to your diet, you should. Sardines are named for Sardinia, an Italian island where large schools of the fish were once found. The small, oily fish is off the charts when it comes to nutrition promoting heart … [Read more...]
Change the Way You See Not the Way You Look
In honor of "Change the Way you See Not the Way you Look" week hosted by Operation Beautiful, I wanted to take the opportunity to post my story about my journey with body image and self love. I never had an eating disorder that endangered my health but accepting my body as it is hasn't always been easy. I participated in dance recreationally from the time I was three years old and sports starting … [Read more...]
VOO Don’t and My First V-log
I mentioned in a previous blog post that I wanted to try the Vegan Overnight Oats (VOO) from Oh She Glows. I made them twice last week and have to say that I can't get into them. I'm not sure if it's the texture, the flavor or both but they aren't for me. I felt tired and foggy after eating them which is a reminder to be aware when eating and listen to the messages your body sends. This is a … [Read more...]
More to Bread Tribeca than Bread
I love and hate going out to dinner. On the one hand, I love the atmosphere and sharing food with friends but on the other hand, I know that meals out can be unhealthy. Living in NYC doesn't make it any easier. It is tempting to go out to dinner any given night of the week. One of the biggest challenges my clients face is how to make wise choices when dining out. It can all be overwhelming really … [Read more...]
Yoga Fix
I spend a lot of time in downward dog. For the 10 years I've been practicing yoga, it has evolved into more than just a workout for me. These days, I crave yoga for its spiritual aspect. It centers me more than anything else and when I haven't practiced I feel it -- mentally, physically and emotionally. Nothing beats the feeling of lightness and calm perfectly balanced by a sense of energy and … [Read more...]
Good to the Last Drop
The humidity has let up a bit but it's still sweltering in NYC. After yesterday's morning run, I couldn't wait to make one of my favorite juice recipes - pineapple mint juice. It's super easy, tasty and refreshing, especially after an intense workout. Pineapple Mint Juice (from -- where else? -- The 3 Day Cleanse) 2 cups chopped, fresh pineapple 1 1/2 cups ice 10-15 fresh mint leaves Blend until … [Read more...]
La La Leftovers
I love leftovers because they force me to get creative and try new recipes and they make for quick and easy meals. Cook once, eat two or three times! My boyfriend is traveling for work (again) so I'm eating for one this week and after Sunday's stuffed peppers, I had some leftover stuffing which led me on a search for how to use it. Turns out, I had a quick and easy recipe for stuffed chard leaves … [Read more...]
