What a delightful weekend! There is no better way to say goodbye to summer and enjoy a holiday weekend than indulging in delicious healthy and some not-so-healthy food. This weekend, I clearly had pasta and pizza on my mind. My boyfriend is a lover of both and I on the other hand, despite being Italian, have never had quite so… Read More
I Heart Eataly.
When Mario Batali, one of the masterminds behind Eataly welcomed me to the Italian marketplace last night, the experience easily became one of the highlights of my six years living in NYC. My boyfriend and I celebrated a year and a half together yesterday and with all the attention and rave reviews Eataly has been getting, we decided to spend… Read More

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… Read More
For the Love of Chocolate
I totally OD’d on chocolate last night. As a health and wellness coach, that’s not at the top of my list of recommendations. But this wasn’t any old chocolate. This was organic, raw, vegan, sugar-and-gluten-free chocolate. I never thought so many of my favorite qualities could be combined into one food item — especially chocolate!
