As promised, I am back with an epic restaurant review. Since Kyle and I have a shot-gun countdown until we leave the NYCizzle, we decided it was muy imperativo that we start hitting up all the great dining spots that are on our to-taste list. (For the record, that list is about 5 years worth of meals long, so I will be pleased if we can even make a small dent in it…) Anyways. Up first on the list was Blue Hill. I first heard of Blue Hill Farms back on the 5th season of… Read more >

Saturday was a work day. F to the U.N. Packed nom-noms are some of the usual suspects, as well as some new members. Carrots, salad, apples, bars, and a baggie of goodies. Tummy-wise, I felt a little bit better, but certainly not great. In the non-transparent bag: almonds, carob chips, raisins, pistachios, cashews, and pretzels. This Belle Bananas Foster flavored 18 Rabbits bar was another winner. I’m not usually a banana nut fan, but this may be the bar that changes that. It’s oaty, with good breakability, perfect level of sweetness, and reminds me of… Read more >

To the few people who understand my weird (read: abnormal) humor, this title is for you. For the rest of you, I’m sorry. Hopefully this isn’t your first red flag that I’m not exactly “normal,” but if it is…well, there you have it. Be afraid. Be very afraid. I had a weird dinner tonight. “My salsa makes all the pretty girls dance…” Yeah, Eminem knows ‘wassup. So before you close this page in disgust, allow me to explain. ‘Cado + salsa + large-and-in-charge amounts of roasted red pepper hummus = Spreadable brilliance. So why limit… Read more >

Cough-E & a Caramel Apple Diggin’ the froth? Do it! Do the Stonyfield people know that their Oikos greek yogurt is borderline sinful when combined with apples? Caramel apples for breakfast with NO guilt whatsoever? Uh, that gets two thumbs up. Now that’s a dessert that Gigi can start her day with, controversy free. Maybe. Lunch was so boring, I almost don’t want to show it. Boca vegan burgers open faced on Vermont soft wheat bread with Tribe roasted red pepper hummus. You can’t go wrong when combining bread and hummus, so as basic as this… Read more >

PranaBar hooked it up!! I was soooo excited to try these bars. My work eats were long overdue for a newbie 🙂 Pairs of everything (salad, apples, bars). Salad #1 (spinach, asparagus, green beans, carrots, adzuki beans) Salad #2 (quinoa, peas, corn, dried cranz) Bar#1 (Coconut Acai PranaBar) Bar #2 (Mocha-walla Odwalla bar) Apple #1 (red gala) Apple #2 (yellow wahsington) I think it’s fairly obvious which part of my lunch I was most excited to try… (Aside from Larabars) I have never found a bar with such great stats. Seriously, this company has a… Read more >
