Last night I had a completely different experience with yoga. I went to a studio in the city, led by a warm and very spiritual instructor named Paz. He was the first male yoga instructor I’ve ever had and it made for a different and really interesting energy in the class. We held the poses [...]

I love using little plates. It helps  me to keep my portions in check and at the same time I always feel like I’m eating a lot more. I also like enjoying the taste of food instead of scarfing it down which can be really hard on nights like tonight. By the time I started [...]

Take one peek in my fridge and you can tell it’s the beginning of my work week: This evening I took a butt kicking spin class which I would really suggest to anyone that wants to really get their cardio on, it was intense! When I got home I was starving and insanely thirsty, I [...]

Such a beautiful, fun filled, action packed Saturday in the city! The day started with a Broadway play (Carrie Fisher’s Wishful Drinking – amazing!) and then all kinds of interesting evening stuff. From an art opening in the LES to my very first experience with Kimchee (bottom center): and Bibimbop: Korean food is amazing! All [...]

Tonight I indulged in a little treat: I couldn’t help it – it’s made in Brooklyn, yum! Today was another really busy day at work filled with good healthy food I prepared on Sunday. It’s so nice to not have to even think about food costs/decisions during the day. I do miss the delicious variety [...]

I called my mom today and mentioned I was headed to yoga tonight and she pointed out the fact that I’ve done hot yoga 7 out of the past 9 days. I took off last Wednesday for dinner with a friend and Sunday because, well, there wasn’t a class that day. She makes a good [...]

This is such an easy recipe, I had to post it. I cook one of these about once a week and it feeds me in healthy snack form for days, plus – the seeds are delicious too! 1 Kabocha Squash 1 Tbsp Olive Oil Preheat oven to 400 degrees Slice squash in half with a [...]

I thought I would mention my new favorite granola of choice, made right here in Brooklyn: It is delicious and I love the fact that I get to support local merchants when I purchase it. It makes it that much more satisfying when I sprinkle it in my daily Fage yogurt. I had an incredibly [...]

Sunday night I spent the better portion of the evening cooking meals for the week. To give you an idea of the sheer number of portions I create, here’s a peek into my fridge: I’ve found that if I make a nice reasonable portions like these it really helps me to keep from becoming overfull. [...]
