Remember those Pillsbury sliceable Sugar Cookies they would make for every holiday possible? I used to love those as a kid, and we would always leave those out for...

I'm jumping on the 2015 ship early. As soon as Christmas is over, the blog and editorial world will be flooding your Twitter and Facebook feeds of things that revolve around...

Let's be real here: I feel like I basically had cake for breakfast. And I pretty much did.

Anyone else struggle with keeping pancakes warm before you serve them in a stack? I know you can do the plate in the oven thing, but I just have never bothered. With these, I actually preferred them to be room temperature with the refrigerated cashew cream in there- it really made it taste like cake. These vegan + gluten-free buckwheat pancakes would be an amazing Christmas breakfast to make for your family!

Gingerbread was hardly the first cookie I would reach toward as a kid- I think it was biting into a stale, cardboard-y gingerbread house that ruined me. Fast-forward to...

My tiny little NYC kitchen has been exploding with holiday cookies over the past few weeks, to the delight of my friend and co-workers. I think this is far more baking in one...

I'll be posting quite a few holiday cookie recipes in the upcoming days, so I wanted to do a quick little post on how I made my gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for cookies. To be honest, I was...

When the NYTimes posted up their map of 101 Places to get good coffee, I was mildly alarmed realizing I had been to nearly every downtown coffeeshop location in the city, and then some...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering

Food shouldn't have to be BAD vs. GOOD or a reward vs. something to fear.

It is not the enemy. It is not a reward or a punishment.

It is nourishment that enables us to roam and travel the world, our tastebuds to be thrilled, our brains to create and think, our bodies to run, jump, dance, love, and live in all expressions possible...

That's right, you heard me. Did your mind immediately go to Nutella? And wintery hot chocolate amazingness? Me too. A good friend of mine recently moved to NYC...

It is Friiiiiday! What are you all up to this weekend? I realized last week that somehow with the hectic-ness of Thanksgiving, I had...

The weather is frigid, your social media is bombarding you with glorious Christmas cookies, your collective office freebie food stash is getting cluttered with treats, you have ugly Christmas sweater parties and ten other holiday parties to go to. Yes, you're not...

We've all been there. You're at the gym, you look at the clock and oopsie— an hour has passed by, and you've barely made a dent into your workout. Distractions can be plentiful at the gym, and the way in which you approach your workout will inevitably be reflected in the results you get. No one wants to be wasting time at the gym of all places, so make sure you're not half-assing your valuable time. Phoning it in for an hour at the gym taking selfies is not going to get you anywhere compared to a focused, efficient workout for 40 minutes. Learn how to optimize your gym time and efforts to get the most bang for your buck!

Make sure you're making the most of your time at the gym by keeping these 5 things in mind:

Christmas is coming christmas is coming christmas is coming! Clearly, I have zero qualms about being Buddy the Elf when it comes to the holidays. I love everything about the...

As you all know, I love the culinary arts for all the wonderful elements it brings together- family, culture, love, and food. So naturally, I love all movies with foodie themes such...

Another Monday is here, and I can't believe how quickly November has flown by! With the holidays approaching, and particularly Thanksgiving, I've been reflecting even more on...

T-7 Days until Thanksgiving! That means it's game time for your big festive dinner prep. I am cooking my family's meal and it can definitely be a daunting thing to plan what food you want to serve, and how to juggle preparing all those different dishes. To help you out, I put together this roundup of...

There are 3 major components to overall physical well-being: Movement, Nutrition, and Recovery. People are really starting to get on that movement and nutrition train, but I would say that pretty much everyone is lacking in the regeneration department. Sleep/regeneration is the glue that keeps all three together. Let’s talk about why you should be prioritizing sleep above all, and HOW to do it:

I've been soaking up every bit of autumn weather and goodness that we've had so far this year in the city, but now it's starting to get cold- really, really damn cold. My mother always...
