Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction. Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing. I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community. But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) and had my first nut milk experience. **A HUGE thanks to everyone who commented with recommendations on my previous post about non-milk milks.** As for the almond milk…It was…interesting? I can’t even think of any way to describe it. Definitely… Read more >

I NEED A BREVILLE!!! Literally, every day I wake up, sigh, and think of the fun Andrea and Jenna (and countless others in the food blog world) are having (that I’m missing out on)… I even have ingredients planned out in my head. I wish I could just win the lottery, I have so many plans for $$ in other peoples’ bank accounts. Instead of juice, I started out my day the way I always do…talk about withdrawal issues. Thank goodness we braved the storm last night, fresh ground coffee is worth soaking wet… Read more >

I LOVE warm weather. And being that this was the first nice weekend we New Yorkers have had this season, I decided to take advantage. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea…apparently the rest of New York was on the same wavelength. I wish I had a photo of Central Park…the great lawn was PACKED like nothing I’ve ever seen. Not an INCH to spare! “Not an square to spare.” – anyone? AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >

Ok. I have been slacking FAR too much in the work out department. I have a freakin’ half marathon in a week! What am I doing to myself? I should be training, not watching the View working and pretending that’s a good enough reason to skip the gym. I woke up to sun, FINALLY. Made some java. Frothed some leche. Voila! Prepare to see an endless supply of bridal mags in the background of all my pics now…my future mother-in-law got me a year’s subscription 🙂 I was researching wedding locations all morning, and totally… Read more >

I’m not sure why it’s a challenge…since I heart salads, and welcome all motivation to get creative in the mixed greens department. But hey, I’m not one to turn down something I can obviously succeed at a challenge. Back to the b-fast eats. A pile of toast with some Smart Balance light. Note the pre-photo nibbled corner. 😉 I need to go shopping, after living on live sprouted bread (ie Ezekiel, Alvarado street, etc) for so long, the regular whole wheat stuff just doesn’t cut it… Other AM yummies: vanilla soy yog and chai… Read more >
