How exactly can beer and pizza be healthy? Well, it depends on how you make them, I guess. You can use 100% Whole Wheat flour for instance. And light beer. And you can use Brendan Brazier’s recipe for “pizza sauce.” But in the end, all that matters is if it tastes good. And it did. Last month, I bookmarked a very intriguing recipe from my fave healthy everythingtarian in which she made pizza dough using beer. If your reaction to this news is anything like mine was, you’re probably chomping at the bit in anticipation… Read more >

You may or may not remember this, but I have monthly dinner dates with my oldest girlfriends. We all live in different areas in Manhattan, so in order to get to know each others’ hoods we alternate who chooses the place (forcing me to leave my comfort zone of UWS dining). This month was MY pick, which was a relief since the past two dinners have taken me an embarrassing amount of time to find (the village is RIDIC confusing and I’m lucky if I end up retracing my steps only 3 times). Usually I… Read more >

Lately I’ve been having such rando cravings, I feel like a preggo! (Don’t worry Mom…) I had frozen pizza just the other day, and yet, the following TWO days I had pizza as well. Seriously. Who am I? This is pretty odd considering pizza is not exactly a food I would typically associate with strong feelings of lust. Growing up, it was never a food I especially craved. As fun as pizza parties were, discovering I was lactose intolerant at such a young age severed any chance of forming the quintessential bond that most kids… Read more >

It’s been pretty cold lately, and with the change in weather comes several personal challenges. Comfort food. Why is it called that? It certainly doesn’t leave you feeling comforted. For all intents and purposes, it should be called UNcomfortable food, because of how it leaves you feeling. But then, who doesn’t crave warm foods during the cold months? Sure, there are healthy hot dishes, but soup gets old, and suddenly I find myself drawing a blank on the meal creating front and resorting to some stereotypical (aka less than healthy) alternatives. Because of this, the… Read more >

For the record, this is Thursday’s food (behind much?)…so forgive me if this is brief. My recollection of the day’s happs is a bit foggy. Nothing too complicated about this. Coffee with mega froth. I broke the fast with fresh melon and blueberry Chobz. Fruity, no? Pretty sure I gymed it up after breks. Nothing like working up a sweat to Little Miss Narcissism (aka She by Sheree). Seriously, WHO gets a life size portrait of their own bust? Those ATL b!tches will never cease to amaze me… I wanted some good old fashioned comfort… Read more >
