"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
It doesn’t really matter where I choose to shop, I still always have to go to Whole Foods for some ‘nitch’ item. Today it was about finding pure apricot oil, which I didn’t manage to find and then a coconut yogurt that I was testing out for a few friends, which I didn’t like for the record. It never fails […]

Could shopping count as cardio? I just left Trader Joe’s five minutes ago and my heart is still racing. Mind you, I just walked a fast two miles at the gym a half hour earlier and my heart wasn’t beating like it is now. Was there a snow storm coming? It certainly felt like it as I tried to make my way […]

So here I am sitting at the Starbucks on Union Street in East Williamsburg. First things first, it doesn’t look like hipsters are embracing this one or the fairly new Starbucks off Bedford Avenue for that matter. Reason being it’s 8pm and not very busy. When I say hipster I’m talking about the artsy creative types not the bratty pretentious […]

“I’ll start juicing as soon as I get the right juicer or blender – which one should I get?” How many times have you said that? Anything to procrastinate right? I might have a Vitamix but my Mom has style and grace! I was going for a pre-Thanksgiving day visit (yes it’s time to catch up on my blog entries). I had […]

Before the day and age of Pinterest, one would simply rip a recipe out of a magazine and go make it. My Mom still likes to do this. So there we were driving upstate and discussing the ingredients. It’s a good thing too because after the pumpkin picking, we headed into the Woodstock supermarket without, of course, the recipe and […]

I guess you can say I have been in a spaghetti zone lately. It comes and goes but this week has been a hit with an amazing spaghetti squash recipe that I made. Those with addictive tendencies know that when we have something on our mind- it’s not over til’ it’s over. Might as well take that as an opportunity […]

Overwhelmed with social media?– guilty as charged. I almost forget sometimes- did I blog it, instagram it, tweet or Facebook it. I feel I am redundant but let’s be honest- with today’s attention span, most probably don’t remember and the rest probably didn’t even see it. Whatever, I still like to be authentic and not repeat myself. I’m like that […]

In the trending quest to learn more about vegan food and lifestyle, this is probably the most common phrase around: Is it vegan? Girls night out at NOBU! This time it was about celebrating not just birthdays but also wonderful life events and friendships all in one. The funny thing is my girlfriend asked if I would be ok eating […]

I really should blog my vegan travels more often. Last year for my birthday I was in Amsterdam and Berlin. I will say that although I didn’t blog it because I was probably too busy eating, that dining in Berlin completely exceeded my expectations. I would still like to reflect back with a photo journal of that week for my vegan travel records. […]

How is it that a non vegan can out order me when it comes to a vegan meal at a vegan restaurant.. and even on my vegan birthday?. I guess sometimes a restaurant can take an ordinary dish and make it exquisite and vice a versa. In any case, it was simply great vs. amazing. I’m delighted that my friends […]
