Overdose alert!! I kinda went crazy with the naranjas today (fyi that’s oranges in Spanish). So now that I’ve fulfilled Elise’s daily cultural lesson for all you non-espanol-ers out there, I’ll continue on with today’s post. Gringo, much? I made this one with soymilk, but I am SO excited to go shopping today for a new non-milk milk. Can I just say how amazing this blogging community is?!? Seriously, I have a question, and I turn to you all, and voila, answer! So a HUGE thanks for all your suggestions! Seriously, you guys rock…. Read more >

Happy Earth Day!! Did everyone do something nice and green today? I contacted my hospital’s big-wigs to beg ask about an initiative promoting biking to work (and requesting to get a small protected room to store the staff hippies’ bikes). C’mon Beth Israel, get green!! This is something I have been trying to get going for a while, so now that the weather is getting nice, and in honor of Earth Day, I figured an extra push may be well received. We’ll see… You know how I rocked it out this morning…with a cuppa joe… Read more >

I LOVE warm weather. And being that this was the first nice weekend we New Yorkers have had this season, I decided to take advantage. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea…apparently the rest of New York was on the same wavelength. I wish I had a photo of Central Park…the great lawn was PACKED like nothing I’ve ever seen. Not an INCH to spare! “Not an square to spare.” – anyone? AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >

Ok. I have been slacking FAR too much in the work out department. I have a freakin’ half marathon in a week! What am I doing to myself? I should be training, not watching the View working and pretending that’s a good enough reason to skip the gym. I woke up to sun, FINALLY. Made some java. Frothed some leche. Voila! Prepare to see an endless supply of bridal mags in the background of all my pics now…my future mother-in-law got me a year’s subscription 🙂 I was researching wedding locations all morning, and totally… Read more >

Finally, a day off of work…time to get the apartment set up! After I got back from errands, I made a big lunch. A pseudo BLT (soy bacon, spinach, and hummus)…ok, so it was a BLH. I used Lightlife soy bacon and Sabra hummus (obvi) on my fave, Alvarado street bread. Looks delish, huh!!! I cleaned the apartment while snacking chowing down some dried fruit. I was a bit of a slacker, and really wasn’t feeling the gym, but I dragged myself there (my goal is to not come in last in April’s half marathon). … Read more >
