With some simple ingredients and 30 minutes of your time, you’ve got yourself a whole new pasta sauce! Thank you to the April 2010 issue of the Vegetarian Times for this new recipe! You may ask yourself why this pasta sauce is new. Well, one of the key ingredients is chickpeas. Interesting, right? I typically [...]

Rocket Salad with Balsamic & Agave Tofu (or Chicken)
If you’re looking to find a great dinner salad or just a new recipe to try, this is the one! I start out with a bed of rocket (arugula) and top it with a combination of vegetables, avocado and nuts. You don’t have to follow my toppings exactly, just use your favorite ingredients and every [...]
Thailand / Spring Cleaning Detox
Three words: food, beer and food. Or maybe that’s two. Anyway, after a vacation in Thailand with two of my favorite people (Jodi and Mike), I decided that my body needed a rest. I have done cleanses in the past, but this time I actually really enjoyed it. And Jodi joined me, so we cooked [...]
Warm Chicken Salad with Dijon Dressing
If you don’t have a go-to dinner salad, I highly suggest you bring this one into your rotation – it’s such a hit! My friend introduced me to this about three months ago, and it’s now known as “our salad†because it’s just so dang delish! If you are cooking dinner for your significant other [...]
Healthy Chocolate Pudding
Not only is this pudding healthy and delicious, it takes less than 10 minutes to make! I know the main ingredient sounds a bit odd, but after reading reviews on different blogs of children who love this recipe, I knew I had to give it a go. Ingredients 1 medium-sized, ripe avocado (pitted and peeled) [...]

Ending the Cleanse
Well, folks, I only made it to day 3 (*sigh*). I broke the cleanse at 8:30pm on day 4. I woke up that day feeling very, well, off and I was constantly thinking of food and what I could eat that wouldn’t be detrimental to my cleansing…or what could be. After work, while sipping on [...]
Thou Shalt Eat
I feel that breakfast is one of the most difficult meals of the day to accomplish. Maybe it’s due to lack of time to shop for breakfast foods; you’re in a hurry or maybe you ate too much yesterday, but for me, if I don’t eat breakfast, come noon and I’m starved and ready to [...]
Blueprint Cleanse: Day 3
After going to bed after midnight on Friday night, I ended up waking up on Saturday at around 11am and I was STARVING! I had an acupuncture facial at 12:30, so I gulped down my first juice and brought my second one for the road. It was 82 degrees out, so I decided to ride [...]
Blueprint Cleanse: Day 2
Today was much less painful than I had anticipated and the juices gave me lots of energy — I think tomorrow is going to be a breeze. The only hard part of this cleanse is that NYC is finally warm (82 degrees tomorrow), so the whole not eating/drinking thing is going to be a challenge [...]
