Tofu get’s a bad name, but really, it’s one of the most versatile foods to eat. It can take on the flavor of anything you’re cooking it with, allowing it to take the place of almost any “meat” you want to substitute it with, and still get that protein. The reason it gets a bad name is because you’re probably not cooking (or preparing it) properly. Just like you would… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I’ve realized that being an “East Coaster” (and especially a New Yorker) can really take a toll on your health. It’s a given – we work ourselves to the bone, are impatient, have zero tolerance, and are exposed to tons of germs and smog, fumes, ick all day everyday. I’ve come to find… Keep Reading
21 days. That’s what they say it takes to make or break a habit. Seems short enough, but it can also be the longest 21 days of your life. But, I will admit – just like in pregnancy, after that first trimester, you can’t pinpoint the day, but somehow the nausea just goes away. Or, if you run everyday, the further distance just doesn’t seem so far one day. I… Keep Reading
I am a boy mom. And happy about that for many reasons. Because girls can be hard. Especially when it comes to clothes. I know this because I once was one. Thankfully in age of technology and online shopping, there are more options than my Levi’s at Sears. Meet kidpik – a subscription-based monthly box of clothes shipped right to your door, and custom curated based on your tastes. For… Keep Reading
If you’ve been following along on my 2016 goals, you’ll see I am continuing on the less is more, simpler lifestyle… 2015 was all about eliminating processed foods from our diets (okay not ALWAYS, sometimes a dirty water dog in Central Park is necessary).Then we looked into removing chemicals – from dish soap to shampoo. Then we started removing plastics and adding bamboo to cooking utensils and trading in our… Keep Reading
Since I am deep into hibernation mode, I actually have some time to sit down and talk to you. Hibernation for me = staycation in New York City for sixty days. For these two months I try not to travel any further than the Metro North, or LIRR can take me. There are no suitcases, and I always sleep in my own bed. It’s the opposite of traveling for some….

In America, the Super Bowl is pretty much a holiday. In fact as a kid, growing up I felt they should always cancel school the next morning because you were up so late (I still believe that anyone who is a fan of the winning team should be a “free pass” off of work the next morning!). Football is about an American as you can get, and it’s literally a… Keep Reading
It’s official, the Steelers are out of the running and the winter cold is blowing outside. New York City is frigid. That means it’s time to crawl up in the fetal position and cry and drown yourself in carbs. Because it’s January. You’re all about resolutions? I’m all about hibernating for the next 60 days. Ok, so yes, I am still training for the Pittsburgh Marathon in April, but that… Keep Reading

All opinions are mine alone. #VivaLaMorena #CollectiveBias It might be cold out, but the road to the big game is heating up. This Saturday, the pigskin will be tossing high in the Rocky Mountains and hopefully ends with a black and gold victory. In preparation, I’ve been stepping up my “homegating” skills by trying to make new finger friendly options…. Keep Reading
Last year I took 24 trips. T W E N T Y FOUR. With the Steelers back in the Playoffs this weekend on the trip to the Super Bowl it made me look back, to so many road trips I’ve made in my life, including driving to Indianapolis to watch the Giants win back in 2012, and just this fall to see the Steelers beat the Raiders at Heinz Field. This… Keep Reading
