Don’t Drink Yourself Fat
You may remember that a while back I embarked on a health journey to reduce the empty calories in my diet. This included sugary drinks like juices and soda, in addition to alcoholic beverages. Now, The New York City Department of Health is launching their own anti sugary drink campaign, called “Pouring on the Pounds.” Seeing as this is a subject that is near and dear to me, I quickly headed over to their website to check it out. Some of the information on the site is quite alarming: 1 sugar-sweetened soda contains more than twice the daily recommended maximum … Continue reading
Monday and Tuesday by iPhone
Catching ya up on my Monday and Tuesday. And, I’m blogging by iPhone! How Fun!

Neopolibanana
Neopolitan ice cream? Nope. That’s Neopolibanana. Let me explain. You see, I love ice cream. In fact, when I was younger, I was known as “the ice cream kid.” Every night I would sit in a miniature blue chair watching my favorite TV shows with a little scoop of ice cream. Fast forward 25 years. While I’d love to eat ice cream everyday – and by ice cream I mean Neopolitan (hey why have one flavor when you can have three?) – I recognize that it might not be the best daily snack. So, I decided to come up with … Continue reading
Orange you glad…
Knock knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. Who’s there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad I didn’t say banana? Does this joke bring back childhood memories? It does for me. And I couldn’t help thinking about it today when I ate lunch, which was completely over-run by orange vegetables: carrots and orange bell peppers, served with hummus for dipping. The other half of my lunch consisted of a lavash wrap with melty cheese and corn salsa. But back to orange foods – a quick Google search revealed the health benefits of … Continue reading
Pizza Overload Weekend
*First let me begin by saying that I’m thankful that Hurricane Irene didn’t cause too much trouble for us in NYC. My thoughts and prayers are with those that were less fortunate. That being said, the weekend was filled with the hustle and bustle of storm preparation, a quick trip to the in-laws in CT, cookie baking and waaaaaay too much pizza. If one can, in fact, could ever have too much pizza FRIDAY Friday morning and afternoon looked like most work days on the blog. Strawberries, banana, granola and yogurt for breakfast and a turkey sandwich with cheese, lettuce … Continue reading
