"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
DIRT CANDY.. that’s all I have been hearing about! Try to get a reservation and it’s a serious wait. Well, now i know why- besides the fact that it’s very tiny-the food is deliciously handcrafted and the service very personable! New Yorker’s seem to get used to small venues, calling it cozy. I guess you can get over this quickly […]

Lauderdale! I wasn’t quite vegan at the time (still stuck on yogurt and eggs)- but I ate mostly vegan and I would definitely search out vegan restaurants […]

Read moreI have been spoiled for many years spending time with my best friend’s Colombian family. I have been able to try many dishes from Bandeja Paisa to SANCOCHO! (I’m going soon to the V-SPOT Cafe in Brooklyn- they finally re-opened and I promise I will blog about their VEGAN Bandeja Paisa if it is still on their menu). Sancocho was […]
Read moreI love a good juice bar– especially if it’s organic and most definitely if it’s fresh press! Fresh PRESS is when they make the juice using an advanced “press” type juicer. These machines juice the produce and then press it ensuring that all vitamins, minerals and enzymes are squeezed out in as much quantity as possible without sacrificing quality. The […]
Read moreInitially, I named this Cracked Lentil Stew.Now I’m starting to worry about myself. I am making up my own names for grains that already exist lol. Seriously though, I love to try new vegetables or grains when I see them. I could have no clue what it is or how to cook it- and so for that reason, I buy […]
Read moreIf at first you don’t succeed, try try again!oh boy! I guess I didn’t exacty know what I wanted to cook today. I wanted something with tofu… but that’s not how it ended up. I messed up twice today- two different dishes- actually THREE TIMES! (1) I set out to make baked tofu with some veggies that I had in […]
Read moreI guess somewhere along the line I dropped the hot potato! I pretty much took it out of my diet. Perhaps I too was brainwashed from the low carb craze most popular during the days of the Atkin’s Diet but which still exists today. Or maybe, it was the fact that I ate potatoes in the form of french fries […]
Read moreI was in the mood for something fast, colorful, well- balanced and full of flavor. Now that I learned a few things like how to bake tofu and how to add fresh mango for flavoring- the rest is so simple. It’s almost like I can cook now lol. I think mango can make anything taste good however this was popping […]
Read moreShirataki- what? Now four people have asked me about this- what is it? I had researched it a little bit but since I stay away from pasta and noodles I didn’t venture over to tasting it, until a friend of mine brought it right over to me. Miracle rice.. hmm? The package says guilt free, zero calories, soy free and gluten […]
