I love May. I get the full month to ME. Mother’s Day, Memorial Day weekend, my birthday… it’s just one long month of celebrations, gifts and fun. But let’s talk about Mother’s Day. Frankly, I just want to relax this year. I don’t want an overpriced salad where I have to wait in line and then be rushed out. I don’t want overpriced flowers that will die in two days. … Keep Reading
Ah, it’s a good time to be Vegan. 39% of Americans reported trying to eat more plant-based foods in 2018 (according to Nielsen). There are more options than ever out there and easy to pick up. From Burger King offering an Impossible Burger to Target carrying easy-to-make options like these Nasoya vegan dumplings, there’s really no excuse to be plant-based these days (at least for One Meal A Day). Going… Keep Reading
Maybe it’s because we lived in a rural area before Walmart existed, but if there is one smell (beyond the farm) that I remember it’s Baby Magic. We used to live on this stuff, well and Bag Balm tbh, and I honestly haven’t smelled that scent for years until last week, and you guys – it’s like… a big bowl of comfort food for your soul and skin. Maybe it’s… Keep Reading
We’re kind of obsessed with pancakes over here. I mean, who isn’t really? You can play with shapes, flavors, add fruit and spices… Pancakes are so good even Jack Johnson wrote a song about them. So it’s no wonder they have their very own pancake day – which happens to be TODAY – March 5. One thing I love to sneak into my pancakes is protein. It’s usually easy to… Keep Reading
Don’t’ be SAD. It’s a real thing – and I 100% get it every year. Which is sort of ironic, but I really love winter, or well, snow. I love snow. But we don’t seem to get a lot of that around NYC – just freezing cold temps and winds when you have to walk around outside. That’s definitely sad, especially when the trains aren’t working. So how does one… Keep Reading
Another fantastic vegan find. If you’re tired of reading about vegan food – turn away now. But you’ll be missing out – this is the year to be vegan. There are so many delicious options I’m discovering that are meat- and dairy-free that you don’t even notice you’re giving up anything. Case in point my most recent find: Alpha Burritos and Pot Pies. These were a fun find because I… Keep Reading
If you would have asked me even a few months ago that I would down this health journey, I would have laughed. I grew up on a farm and we hunted animals to eat. Dairy and meat were staples in our diet. But we as get older and wiser, the evidence is pretty clear that eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes is where it’s at. They say this… Keep Reading
Still wondering what the F to get your child for the holidays this season? If you’ve read any of my prior holiday pieces, you’ll see that he’s not the easiest to find out (or is one to just give a full list of circled toys in a magazine). Besides using Santa to pull out the usual toy car, Lego, books items, there is always something that he gets that doesn’t… Keep Reading
I love this line from Brooks: A 30-minute run burns 100% more calories than a 30-minute sitcom. With the NYC Marathon coming up this weekend, I’ve having major runner’s FOMO. Every year I wish I decided to run it, but then every year I just don’t know if I have the time to train for it (even though I run at least 3-4 times a week!). So in honor of… Keep Reading
Admit: I have never gotten a flu shot. Ever (in my defense I grew up on a farm – we didn’t run to doctors for things like this!). Last winter I got the flu for the first time ever. It is worse than anyone ever described. I won’t go into full detail because it is too much TMI, but let’s just say – there were signs it was coming. The… Keep Reading
