Eating Out

If you follow me on Facebook or on Twitter you might have noticed that I’m involved in the HAES (Health At Every Size) community. HAES acknowledges that humanity has body diversity and that thin isn’t a template that equals health. I follow several RDN’s who are against diet culture and work with this approach.  I […]

If you want food to be a mouthwatering experience that’s bursting with flavor combinations and textures, then you should go to Kailsash Parbat’s Chaat Bar. Chaat means street food, and you’ll be visiting one of India’s Street Food Bars right here in New York City. It’s pilgrimage worthy for foodies.I recommend ordering their Samosa Chaat […]

It’s the end of December, a month full of angst. This is a bit of a rant. Food Guilt is what some people feel if they eat something that they think has too many calories in it. If they think they ate the wrong type of food. If they think they eat too often. And […]

2018 has been one of my best running and foodie years so far. I’ve had fun, met new people and I’ve learned a ton. I was even a running model in Central Park! Me? A model? Pretty amazing isn’t it? Jill Angie invited me. She’s a writer and a running coach who coaches women of […]

If you grew up in a different country than the one you live in, you know the value of finding foods from your homeland. It’s a feeling that is almost impossible to describe because it brings so many feelings and memories with it. No matter how long you’ve lived in your new country, your homeland […]

I’m sure that if you are vegetarian you are familiar with restaurants that have only a couple of vegetarian options. More often than not they’re added like an after-thought at the end of the regular menu. It might be a mushroom wrap, or a veggie burger that’s made entirely of vegetables and mashed together with […]

I want to begin by explaining that I’m making a bit of an exception here, this podcast does mention weight loss, something I try to avoid on my blog. That said, it’s so much more than that and even the weight loss mentions are good and done in a body positive way. What the rest […]

I’ve been a vegetarian for 37 years. Most of my life. In fact, I remember having to eat meat as a kid and having trouble chewing and swallowing it. I just didn’t like it. Needless to say, becoming vegetarian was a very good choice for me that opened up a whole new world with food […]

I love to eat. I love to try different restaurants and different cuisines, but nothing is nicer than when you go somewhere and meet fellow foodies. It was also my husband’s and my wedding anniversary yesterday and as we do every February Anniversary (We have two, the February date was our smaller city hall wedding) […]

Lambertville and New Hope are two picturesque little river towns on the Delaware. One on each side of the river in two states. My favorite restaurant is in Lambertville on the New Jersey side.  Marhaba, an Egyptian eatery serving Middle Eastern food. Their dishes are mouthwatering! Mostly vegetarian, a big plus for me who is […]
