I got the most gorgeously ripe kale last week from my CSA share (Community Sustained Agriculture), and I wanted to do something new ~ try it in a salad as opposed to a sautee or soup, my usual route for this vegetable. It’s got a nice crunch, an interesting texture, and just a touch of bitter, so I...
I just started doing this crazy hard new workout called Insanity, produced by Beachbody.com. I’ve done some of their other routines with real success ~ Power 90 about 6 or 7 years ago, and P90X just 3 years ago ~ and those are amazing workouts, the latter being crazy hard. However, I’ve never...
The other day, craving a hot lunch on a rainy, chilly afternoon, I went to a local Korean place and enjoyed bibimbop ~ a steaming clay pot filled with seasoned vegetables, tofu and sizzling rice which I tossed with a bit of soy sauce. Boy did that hit the spot! The salty flavor of the toasty, crispy rice...
With Valentine’s Day just moments away, have you got a fabulous evening planned? Sure, it’s always nice to hit the town and enjoy a fab meal someone else, preferably a renowned chef, has prepared just for you, but why not take to your own kitchen and whip up an amazing, romantic meal on your...
Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and that means party time! I haven’t hosted a super bowl party in years but my husband purchased a 60″ 3-D ready flat screen tv with surround sound…this party just felt like a natural!
The other thing I haven’t done is throw a Super Bowl...
I don’t know about you, but after a long weekend away with friends, or on any sort of vacation, I always feel the need to detox a little when I get home…making sure that belt still tightens in the same place it did before I left! Indulging is great ~ I recommend it ~ but it’s also important to get...
The Trendy Vegan's healthy, homemade twist on the traditional Japanese carrot-ginger dressing
I’m at the Mohawk Mountain ski lodge in Cornwall, Connecticut. Down jacket (with a trendy Tory Burch vest underneath)? Check. Stylish winter boots? Check. New Bogner fleece? Check. Skis? Well…
OK. I’m not a skier. I promised my friend, Gloria, I’d take lessons in a couple of...
It’s a snow day! My 10-year-old usually runs around the house in inside-out pj’s, putting ice in the toilet and a spoon under his pillow the night before a predicted storm ~ this generation’s snow dance ~ but with school closings announced way in advance of the nearly two feet we’re...
Under the direction of celebrated chef Jose Andres, Zaytinya in Washington, DC, is a vibrant gourmet hot spot (with recent acclaim due to former chef Mike Isabella’s appearances on Top Chef.)
My favorite warm mezze dish on this eclectic menu is the vegan-friendly roasted cauliflower with sultans, caper...
I’m on vacation! While I’m going away later this week, it was the first weekday for me to really enjoy in ages. I got up, made my son breakfast (Enviro Kids and Puffin cereals are our faves), and lunch, hit the gym, and grabbed my usual venti decaf with soy from Starbucks for the drive home....
