Chef Ann Cooper is a woman after my own heart because she is on the front lines making progress in an area of wellness I am so passionate about. The Renegade Lunch Lady is voting with her very own knife to change the way we feed our children in schools. Need I say more? Q1. What is the #1 wellness… Read More
New Yorkers love their brunch, but truth be told, it often leaves me feeling tired and groggy. But the organic, vegan-friendly menu at Le Pain Quotidien has the opposite effect. On any given weekend, David and I can be found at the Tribeca location enjoying breakfast after our morning workout. With locations in more than 15 countries and 27 restaurants… Read More
I love to ski but have never liked being cold so if I had to choose a time to do it, now is the best time of year. Both of us in need of a vacation, David and I planned a long one that would start with skiing and end at the beach (we couldn’t skip the beach). We headed… Read More
