I did it! I am so proud of myself! It is in this moment now that I can so intensely appreciate the moms, dads, grandparents & family who have cooked for me and everyone… the restaurant chefs and sous chefs of the world.. and all those who love to cook overall.  I mean I can cook a little- but not […]

Once again my V-Spot cafe let me down! They are still closed for renovations- I sure hope they are creating a Colombian vegan masterpiece! They are a Colombian vegan cafe in Park Slope, Brooklyn with creative appetizers and entrees. I want you to see the Colombia Bandeja Paisa– all vegan! The website says until further notice- not sure I like the […]

Chia seeds are a “superfood”– a nutritional powerhouse! Chia seeds come from the Salvia hispanics plant. They are: Rich in omega 3 fatty acids (more than flax seed) “The best plant source of omega-3’s known. They contain over 60% essential fatty acids.” (thrivefoods.net)  Rich in antioxidants (which even allows the seeds to be stay fresh longer than other omega 3 providers) […]
