Well hellllllllllllllo to everyone! I just want to say that so many of you let me know that you're reading this and I want to thank you and I hope that the stuff that I do out here and post on here is entertaining enough to keep you interested. Also, if you haven't heard, I am now blogging for Girls On Food! There are reviews in Sacramento, Seattle, Austin, and Los Angeles, and I have been added as the east coast contributor! Please check it out at www.girlsonfood.net

Ok so lets get down to business. This will be a random blog about a bunch of stuff I've done over the past few months. To catch you up to speed on my life, I have moved from Manhattan to Queens, sorta northeast of where I used to live. It is cheaper rent, and I get to see Bryan a lot more. I have also started a quest to getting healthy. Eating clean, drinking less, but still having fun. Also Bryan works with a cookware company, so I basically inherited one hell of an awesome kitchen. So I have been cooking a LOT.


Mediterranean Pasta Salad with whole wheat pasta

crock pot veggies with lentils

fresh veggies with black bean pasta

Juicing. Everyday.

My guacamole. Which I make atleast once a week. And bean dip that I puree in the food processor and cook in the crockpot. AMAZINGNESS.

More lentils.

Cheat day: Homemade 3 cheese mac with whole wheat pasta. YUUUUM.

Eggs Benedict.

Crock pot salsa

Bryan actually made these: homemade spinach raviolis from SCRATCH

THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL MEXICAN FOOD IN NEW YORK. That is supposed to be a fish taco. So gross on so many levels.

What New York does right: Wine and oysters.

We stopped by Les Halles last night, if you aren't familiar with Les Halles, it is the restaurant in NYC that Anthony Bourdain made famous. My old co worker Dimitry works there, so we stopped by to have a drink.

He asked us if we wanted bananas flambe, and we couldn't resist. It's a tableside stove of butter, sugar and booze. Oh and fire.
If there was any way to make a banana unhealthy...this is it. :)




After Les Halles, Bryan told me he had something he wanted us to do, but of course he wasn't going to tell me. But it was an awesome surprise! Ice skating!!!

It's been years since I've ice skated, but I still got it :-)
