Quinoa-Chickpea warm or fall salad🍃🍅🌿
It’s not often I come across a recipe that’s delicious warm or cold, but this salad creates and breaks the mold. It’s HOT, and salads and smoothies are in season. This Quinoa-Chickpea creation is delightful warm or fresh out of the meal prep fridge. The quinoa leaves you feeling full and the kick from the…

Blueberry-Berta Smoothie Bowl
We’re in the middle of a heatwave here in NYC, and I’ve been doing double workouts for a few weeks now. When I get home from work I want something easy and filling – but ALSO delicious.

Sip Teahouse Tastings🍵
In the spirit of wellness and self-care, I practice a few “rituals” daily. Eating healthy, positive exercise for the brain and the body and a vigorous teeth brushing routine (i LOVE a clean mouth – don’t ask) are just a few habits to mention. I’ll admit, there are some self-care areas I’m lacking in. Particularly meditation and…

seeds to growth 🌱🌶️🌶️🌶️ Thai peppers in Harlem
Koh Sumoi, Thailand Last spring while in Thailand I sampled, then obtained some gorgeously spicy peppers. When I say obtained – I mean I stole them right off the plate the waiter gave me. He had just picked them off of the growing bushes that surrounded the inside of the veranda I was seated…

I’m in love with these natural handmade soaps. I’m always looking for new natural ways to enhance my beauty regiment. We are all aging by the hour so I’m mindful of not only the things I put into my body but also what I put on my skin. My motto – keep it simple stupid. I want…

Simple, Summer-Strawberry Infused Water🍓🌿🍋
The unofficial start of the summer is here. It’s Memorial Day weekend, so bring on the white dresses, seersucker suits, and summer Fridays! My infused concoctions are a year-round love of hydration for me, but, in the summer, when hosting they REALLY begin shine. Create this quick infusing when hosting, I paired with brie, crackers, and…

ohhh hello ALOE! 🍃
Can we talk about how amazing ALOE VERA is for a moment? Growing up, my grandma had long green prickly stalks growing near her lamps (that are now my lamps), sometimes in just water filled mason jars. She never bothered with them but they seemed to always grow. I do remember when she’d cut a…

Date cookies = Tabbalicious 🍪
I’m obsessed with dates – see the previous post! I’m finding all sorts of interesting ways to use dates as a sugar substitute. I came across this recipe and tweaked it slightly to make it Tabbalicious. These tasty little desserts literally took 20 minutes from start to finish. I LOVE cookies, I love peanut butter and I…

Roberta-Roasted Okra
Growing up the mention of okra was always followed by a prompt “EWWWWW!” from my sisters and I. My mom and grandma made something called okra pie (sounds even grosser) essentially, it was layered okra, white rice, can tomatoes and crisp bacon baked like a pie. I actually never really minded the okra slime, as…

Simple Snacking: Cantaloupe
1 cup of cantaloupe has about 60 energy calories and only 3 from fat. Not only is it like eating a big bowl of nothing in the fat department it’s soft, sweet and satisfying. Though honeydew is my absolute favorite melon, all members of the melon family are full of water and a great…

Little BAE-sil Pizza 🍕
I love bread and I love cheese, unfortunately, these things work against me in the game of life. The easiest way to assure I’m not doing the most damage to my stomach and my waist-line is to make my own pizza. I make these little amazing pizzas whenever I get the urge to do something bad.…

Mason Jar Noodle Soup 🥄
Another EASY, layering recipe. And once again there is nothing to cook, just add hot water! Soup is a wonderful lunch or dinner idea in the colder months. I refuse to eat those processed “cup o noodles” in a Styrofoam cup or pay $12 for a delicious bucket of real ramen. I have a…
