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

Today was our first day skiing in Whistler. We had perfect weather and gorgeous views. I’m an intermediate skier and don’t usually like to fall.

Needless to say, I’ve found myself playing the role of good sport in a few BBQ joints over the years, munching on sides while my fellow diners gnaw on animal… Read More
Craving Mexican food but not the indigestion? Every once in awhile, I crave Mexican food (guacamole is my favorite!) but then I remember how I usually feel after I eat it. Stuffed, bloated and generally yucky. When I created these spicy stuffed zucchini, I had only a few items on hand in addition to the zucchini. Some red onion, garlic,… Read More
In January, I cracked open a book that had been sitting on my bookshelf for more than three years. It wasn’t just any book, it was The Artist’s Way, a 12-week self-guided program aimed at uncovering my inner artist. Huh? I never considered myself an artist in any sense of the word. A writer?
