Snow, more snow, and a suprise Broadway show

So I seem to have gotten real busy living all of a sudden. This is not a bad thing!
Between the usual yoga and spin classes 3-4 times a week, and now regular outings on the town with friends I find fewer and fewer evenings are spent relaxing at home.  I’m enjoying the social time but [...]

live music, dancing and snowboarding

It was another wonderful, crazy, action packed weekend topped off by a delicious brunch in the city and a Sunday night of live Brazilian music, dancing and tons of laughs with a bunch of friends.
To think, I almost didn’t go out last night.  The Brazilian bar was in Williamsburg and the G hasn’t been running [...]

Olympic Inspiration

What a treat it is to come home from an incredibly difficult hour long spin class (so hard I almost threw in the towel tonight) to a warm comfy apartment, a delicious dinner and woman’s half pipe Olympic finals. Though the day was super long and kind of arduous, I’m sticking to my training regime [...]

back to the mountain!

This morning I woke up with a crazily stiff neck, which bugged me all day long at work. Its days like today that I really could do without having to stare into a computer screen for 8 hours. To cope I took an Aleve, tried not to look to my left and counted the minutes [...]

twists and turns

It was a fun filled action packed and surprisingly awesome weekend, which accounts for the complete lack of updates on my part. What can I say, it was a little enlightening too.
I got some feedback from a good friend on the blog. She said that though she loves the recipes, she misses the content and [...]

Tonight I remembered back on my post about how much I enjoyed the granola I bought that was made here in Brooklyn. Suddenly I decided I should try granola I baked here in Brooklyn myself! Why not?
So, without further ado I set about tossing together all kinds of delicious ingredients and made some of the [...]

Snow Day!

Snow Day!

Finally, New York got a little snow! As icing on the cake my office asked us all to work from home today! That means I can position myself next to the window (the view above) and watch it fall all day long. Plus, when the wind lets up a bit I think I may [...]

Thoughts on Brooklyn

I have spoken many times about my love affair with Brooklyn. I don’t know if it’s because my roots are here, or because I grew up idolizing the (original) Dodgers vicariously through my father. I just feel such a kinship with this place. The music it inspires, the food, the smells, the sights the very [...]

Comfort and Healthy?

I noticed this morning that I had only a tiny bit of almond butter left. Bummer! To get the most out of what I had I decided to make my morning oats in the jar. It resulted in the most almond buttery breakfast I think I’ve ever had, so freakin yummy.

I did some writing and [...]

More big news to come!

What a crazy action packed weekend!
Friday night I met my friend Shosh for dinner in the West Village. We found a cute little spot close to the train which was great because it was cold! Unfortunately the food was not quite what I’ve come to expect from NYC. I suppose it may have had something [...]
