Sandy put “the city that never sleeps to sleep ….” But not for long New Yorkers are resilient and that’s why I love this city. We’re still without power and now water and staying with friends to wait it out (thank goodness for them). Needless to say, cooking at home hasn’t been possible this week. So in the spirit of… Read More
The scene at my local Whole Foods looked like this yesterday afternoon: And this (they were baking and bagging bread on site) Luckily, David and I had stocked up on Saturday. We went back for a couple more bottles of water but in keeping with the bread trend, there were none to be found. We spent yesterday running a few… Read More
Two weeks ago I made post-workout smoothies for a sweaty crowd at a LΓΆle Showtique NYC meet-up hosted by Mahri Relin of Body Conceptions. Mahri’s workout is no joke. I was so intrigued I went back the following week to get in on the action and the next day my abs and butt were screaming. My abs never get sore… Read More
Applesauce is one of my favorite snacks when I’m craving a little sweetness after dinner. I usually buy the unsweetened jarred kind, but it’s relatively easy to make apple puree right in your blender without even cooking the apples first.

I think I can speak for most people when I say that the clean air and… Read More

I was playing around in the kitchen this week. Prepping for my two upcoming smoothie-making workshops when this cold, creamy concoction was born. Pineapple. Coconut. Need I say more? This is definitely one of those, I’m-missing-the-beach-so-I’ll-bring-the-beach-to-me kind of treats. So good, I almost made seconds, but I refrained. Pina Colada Smoothie Half the meat and all the water from a… Read More
My kitchen is overflowing with apples right now, is yours? I’m putting them in everything I make and I’m not even tired of them yet! This recipe is a can’t-miss. I love the combo of tender rice and crunchy apples and it has that sweet and savory thing goin’ on. Wild Rice & Apple Salad 2/3 cup wild rice, cooked… Read More
Fall is my absolute favorite time of year and living in New York City means that an apple orchard is never more than a car or train ride away. In my opinion, you can never have enough apples when they’re in season because not only can you grab one as an easy on-the-g0 snack, you can also add them to… Read More
