Yes! About 4 days behind. I showed you all my eats throughout the day, but no dinners. So, I guess I have some blogging to do, huh? But before I get to that, thank you all SO much for your kind comments about my past few days at work. I was a little nervous about writing a more emotional post about my job (and not food), but the comments that flooded after proved I had nothing to worry about. So thank you thank you thank you 🙂 Moving on. Guess what today is!?! Give up?… Read more >

Boy oh boy is it exhausting taking NYC by storm in one weekend! Sunday’s weather was far nicer than Saturday’s (in that there was less rain), but JUST as nasty in terms of humidity… I still started the day with java and fruit. There may have been a bit of a SoapNet marathon throughout the AM. Is there a better show to get ready to start the day than 90210? I think not 🙂 After digesting and beautifying, we set off for Brooklyn. I love the promenade/DUMBO area. So cute – and such great… Read more >

Wow. Time flies when you’re having fun blogging about it. It feels like just yesterday I stumbled across this amazing community of foodies and decided to begin a blog about my adventures in the vegan kitchen. Who would have known the decision to write (almost daily) about my food/exercise/etc would have impacted my life the way it has? I certainly did not. And yet, here I am, a YEAR later, with a ton of new friends, having tried food I hardly would have known existed a year ago! Thank you to everyone who has ever… Read more >

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, which can be transferred, but never created nor destroyed. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe always increases. The third law of thermodynamics implies that it is impossible to cool a system all the way to exactly absolute zero. Sure, it may seem weird to start a post with a science lesson, but like most other things in life, it can also be applied to food… 1. Heat is a form of energy?! Hell yeah it is!… Read more >

As promised, I had a chocolate-y delicious Amazing Green concoction for dessert Wednesday night. Notice the blender top? Yes, I went for a more ambitious drink, and blended in ice and half a frozen banana to achieve the perfect chocolate banana dessert. And I thought my high school weekend job would never come in handy! Look at me now Jamba! Anyways, as always, I packed my lunch for work, which included the same cast of characters… Dried apples, dried mango, english muffin with it’s other half (hummus), choc/chip/peanut odwalla bar (see nutritionals above), apple, salad. I… Read more >
