As unpredictable as the weather can be this time of year, it has definitely become Springtime in New York. Im starting to remember all the outdoor markets and fleas Ive been missing for so many...
I recently celebrated a birthday at the end of January. Naturally, I was reminded of all the pool parties I couldnt have as a child since my actual birthday is usually quite cold and rainy (or ...
Brussel sprouts are still one of those vegetables people are not entirely open to experiencing. I feel it is often attachments to their first experience trying something. Childhood resent...
The brand new Giovannis Brooklyn Eats just opened in my area of Park Slope. On the corner of Prospect Ave. and 8th Avenue, its one of the only restaurants in this area making it feel like ...

My Thanksgiving was unlike my others for a few reasons. It was the first time I didnt go back to Los Angeles to visit my family, the first time I cooked an entire Thanksgiving alone, and the fi...
My love for mason jars is a very public obsession. I think my second post on this blog was about all the ways I use them. The funny thing is, Ive never been a "canning" person who...
I cant believe its October. Although we can sit here and mourn the loss of fresh strawberries, peaches, rhubarb and the like, there are many reasons to look forward to Fall produce. Have ...
Now that its finally getting colder, Im finally feeling like using my oven is pleasurable again. The idea of making something warm, dense and oat-y is somehow appealing again after months of ba...
What to say about tomatoes...theyre a common love for all of us, right? Most of us have eaten a warm cherry tomato off the vine, or had heirlooms from the farmers market, but that can only go o...
I was definitely a sassy Southern woman in a past life. My craving for fresh peaches, and unnecessary amounts of pie has made staying cool in August an impossibility. Although the oven is...

I am very sensitive to the heat. Despite growing up in Southern California, I would much rather be in an icy cold winter than a hot humid summer. That said, ther...
Im so sorry for my unspoken hiatus! There have been lots of changes going on around here...Ive been very busy doing non-food related things and moving into a new apartment, which happens to have an a...
Chickpea soccas have always had a special place in my heart. Its not just for the simple ingredients, deliciousness and naturally gluten-free/vegan ways. This meal (from the NY Times) was originally ...
The new year has been extraordinarily busy for me, and I havent had a lot of time for extravagant/home-cooked meals. Most of the time, I eat on the go and get whatever I can to tide me over. The few ...
Much to my surprise, some of my family members have recently become vegan. This holiday season, lots of traditions had to be adapted for the new dietary habits that arent just mine anymore. I took on...
I dont know when it happened, but ever since Autumn began I have had an obsession with chili. I started ordering it from Curlys Lunch, and became shamelessly addicted to the very cheap and hearty mea...
This is one of my favorite times of year in New York. For me, everything right now has to be creamy, warm and filled with ginger. That doesnt mean I dont still drink green smoothies and kale salads, ...
Since summer is actually over, and Im starting to eat things like mushroom stuffed pumpkin, its about time I posted my lemonade recipe. This post is long overdue, as my schedule seems to be more and ...
I use kale in so many things, it is almost neutral to me. I add it in almost anything and everything, whenever possible. Not until I had this amazing salad from City Bakery, did I realize I was pract...
There is just something about breakfast. Its more than just a meal, or a cup of coffee. Breakfast transcends all other meals. It isnt like lunch, where youre most likely sandwiched (excuse the pun) b...
I grew up spending every summer swimming. This is obviously a very California affair, as pools in NYC are as rare as rent-controlled apartments. One thing I remember most about swimming, is the huge ...
Ive had an extensive relationship with tea since I can remember. Not just the substance of tea, but more specifically the actual event of a tea. Thanks to my chic and antique-obsessed mother, we had ...
I have never been into science. I definitely have a "creative mind" in that way, and remember nothing of the biology classes I had to take during school. One of the more peculiar, scientific ...
This is an interesting topic for me because unlike some who go "au-natural," I am kind of obsessed with glamour. Most nights you can find me doing bizarre 1940s youtube tutorial pin-curl sets...
Im not from the south, as we know, so Ive had little contact with the "biscuits and gravy" sort of diet. I had okra once in a gumbo at Emerils restaurant in Florida once. Thats about as south...
There are some people who will cook and bake outside of their "diet philosophies" for family and friends. Im definitely not one of those people. That may sound stubborn, but really its not ab...
My CSA keeps getting better and better. The last 2 weeks we have received watermelon, several types of fresh herbs and bountiful amounts of different greens. No offense, but I was getting so sick of ...
