Gwyneth Paltrow-ized Baked Power Oatmeal PB+J Squares
I am not reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook. I am not reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook. I am not reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook. (I am reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook. Fuck. And I totally love it. Double fuck.) I blame New York Magazine. And society. And buckwheat. And her delicate prose that I can’t help but read aloud […]
Food Review: Smari Organic Icelandic Yogurt
So, when I shared my Tabouli recipe a few weeks ago, I made mention of my master grocery list. It’s evolved over time – I’ve learned more about my own personal nutrition goals, I’ve tasted a lot of different kinds of ice cream (frozen kefir! frozen kefir!), I’ve gotten into celery in a big way. […]
The Search for the Best Cookies in New York, February: Blue Sky Bakery’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and ‘Snice’s Vegan Maple Oatmeal Raisin
Round 2! And 3! Fight!! This morning I woke up quite satisfied in a post-Oscars haze and little else. And then I ate no less than 3 breakfasts. In rapid succession. There was some yogurt in there, some peanut butter, some tabouli/hummus/babaganouj leftovers, and yes, some Vanilla Protein Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting. I also […]
The Search for the Best Cookies in New York, January: Baked in Brooklyn – Chocolate Chip & Walnut
I love cookies. I think this is part of the reason I am so health conscious and so into avoiding carbs. You kinda have to be when you live for cookies. It’s a non-negotiable. I don’t deny myself treats and my treat of choice is always, 100% of the time, a cookie. So much so […]
Organic Avenue Juice Cleanse Review + Giveaway!
HEY. ASK ME ABOUT MY JUICE CLEANSE. Seriously, if I didn’t have to wear black to work/look sane, I’d have written that on my shirt. I did my first (short) Juice Cleanse from Organic Avenue earlier this week and I. Am. Jazzed. About. It. Let me explain how it all came about and why you […]
Local Goods: Dao Palate in Park Slope & How to Rationalize Ordering Three Dishes for One Person
Three pan-asian vegan dishes for one person? The rationale is simple: Dao Palate is really, really tasty. And you know what? You deserve all the delicious Dao Palate entrees your little fingers can “Add to Bag” on the Seamless app. When you request 4 sets of plastic cutlery so that the delivery guy won’t judge you, you’ve […]
Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
Ok. So this may not really deserve its own post because I hinted at it during that whole Steve’s BKLYN Blackout Ice Cream Review the other day. And I’m using my Soft and Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker Cookies from the other other day too because, thanks to the baking powder and applesauce, they’re […]
Local Goods: Steve’s Bklyn Blackout Ice Cream Review
So I’m going to try a new feature on here. Some good old fashioned local food reviews. This could also be called “Hey What’s That In My Bodega?” Or, “Is That A ‘Local’ Sign I See, Whole Foods Shelf?” Easily apparent to anyone who’s entered a Greenmarket or Whole Foods or Union Market or a […]
National Oatmeal Month: Sneaky Pete’s Oatstanding Beverages Giveaway & Homemade Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Who loves plays on words more than me? No one. Ever. So imagine my joy when I got an email from someone from Sneaky Pete’s, makers of Oatstanding Beverages. But then imagine my further joy when this was part of the email: (I did not already know.) Anyways, in an effort to promote full disclosure […]
