I am currently crushing hard on anything that I can put into a bowl. I just love piling a ton of healthy ingredients into a bowl to easily create a simple, quick and healthy meal. You can even mix and match the flavors, which is what I love about bowls so much. Today I put this spaghetti squash mixture over greens and tomorrow I might toss it into some lettuce wraps. The possibilities are endless! This recipe originally started out… Read more »

Does the bright yellow squash in the produce section make you wonder how you are going to turn something squash-like into something spaghetti-like? Well, you have found yourself in the right place. Ok, so I have to be honest. Spaghetti squash does not taste completely like spaghetti noodles, but it does a little bit. The key to making it convincing is how you use the spaghetti squash after it is cooked. If you’ve never cooked with spaghetti squash and are looking… Read more »

I was walking home from yoga the other day and I noticed a huge crate in front of the grocery store filled with squash for only $.68 a pound! I think that this is currently the most affordable thing in NYC! At that point I also realized that I have never cooked with butternut squash, so I scooped one up and decided to make some soup with it. I roasted it similarly to the way that I would roast a… Read more »

 Happy Halloween Everyone!!! Halloween is probably one of my most favorite times of year. I would wear a costume everyday if I could, or at least some type of headband with a unicorn horn or kitty ears on it. I am always looking for an excuse to dress up in costume and eat gummi bears, and on this holiday it is more than acceptable! I also love the crispness that you start to feel in the air, the boots and fluffy sweaters,… Read more »

It is spaghetti squash season and I couldn’t be more excited! Spaghetti Squash is so versatile and goes great in Italian and Thai dishes. I was in the mood for Italian so I decided to whip up my Baked Spaghetti Squash dish. I tried to pick out the smallest spaghetti squash that I could find, since there wasn’t a price on any of them and I was only cooking for two. I got up to the register and even though the… Read more »

  To say that I have a small addiction to chips and salsa is an understatement.  I could probably eat chips and salsa every day if I had the chance.  Heck, I made Derika take me out for Mexican food on both Friday and Saturday last weekend…I seriously have a problem. Last week Tuesday, my friend Erin reached out to me to see if I might like to grab a tasty beverage or dinner.  It occurred to me that it… Read more »

Derika managed to catch the plague at work last week and with all the travel and long hours, this cold has been holding on for dear life. I have been keeping my distance the best I can in our 582 square foot apartment.  I have also been downing a ton of fire cider and drinking tons of water in hopes that I don’t get the plague as well.  So far it has been working like a dream! Yay, for Fire Cider and… Read more »

I hope that everyone had a great holiday! We didn’t get into too much, but the weather was beautiful so we headed on over to Central Park and pretended that we were laying on the beach in the sunshine. It was not the beach, but the little extra vitamin D and the bunny ears did us wonders. 😉 Minus the weird snow hiccup we had last week, spring has officially sprung in NYC and I cannot stop taking photos of… Read more »

I wish that everyday were taco Tuesday, so then I could eat all things Mexican all of the days! I think that I have mentioned in a blog post or ten that I love Mexican food and I really love taco Tuesday. Not like I need a reason, but it gives me an extra reason to whip up some Mexican food and eat the heck out of some chips and salsa. The other day, I was doing the washer and… Read more »

I’ve wanted a vegetable spiralizer for a couple of years now, and this Christmas Santa finally brought me one! There are a ton of different versions out there, so after I got mine I did some research. I found out that the two most popular ones are thePaderno World Cuisine Spiralizer and the GEFU Spirelli Spiral Slicer. Santa ended up getting me the GEFU version and I really like it.  I have a ton of kitchen appliances and I like that… Read more »
