This is not your average apple pie. It’s really not even a pie at all. A crumble maybe? Or a cobbler? I don’t know. But when you are in the FODMAPS elimination phase, and there are a dozen apples staring you down…well, shoot, it can make a girl go crazy! This is a fairly ghetto recipe. Accordingly, you probably have all the ingredients on hand. After all, I made it at 10 pm, so it’s not like I was about to go to the store for the necessary materials to make a real… Read more >
Being an overnight oat master (self proclaimed title), I decided to get crafty with my latest batch. Apricot. Plum. Cinnamon. Maple syrup. Oats. OOOOATS. Peanut flour. Boiling water. Fridge time. Next morning…voila! Oaty layer on top, fruity layer on bottom. Yum! I’m a little late on the summer time breakfasts, huh? This one is perfect for a hot summer morning with the sweet berries and cool nutty oats. Hearty and fruity in one big bowl. I used to always dig out the fruit part of my mom’s berry cobblers, seeing how… Read more >

Seriously, I hope I’m not boring you all, but this trip home was so epic, that even the Cliff’s notes version is miles long… I guess I will continue from where I left off (Saturday PM). Since the Nike half marathon started at 7 am (and I had no desire to commute into the city before that ungodly hour) I stayed at my sister’s apartment the night before. At least something positive came out of last month’s half marathon pre-race disaster (i.e. 4 am wake up calls are NOT conducive to a happy hippie). Spooning… Read more >

The office x-mas (or holiday to be PC) party was at Cibo, which is a Zagat staple, and was named one of the best restaurants in NYC in 2001, having been called a “New American-Italian hotspot located in the landmark Daily News building, a neighborhood favorite for locals looking for inventive fare.” Immediately upon arriving, we both had drinks in our hands. Seriously, I had hardly checked my coat, and I was half a glass of wine into the night. 1, 2, 3 glasses later I was feeling prettyyyy toasty. As more and more people… Read more >
