We said goodbye to Nicole at Zea’s on St. Charles Avenue. The menu is a bit extensive… It took everyone a little while to decide on what to order. For appetizers, we ordered the Mediterranean Hummus and Spinach Dip to share at the table. I had about a quarter of the hummus dish. It [...]
Hope everyone is enjoying the final hours of this weekend! My weekend was filled with friends, fun, and football… Nicole- my college roommate who now lives in NYC- was in town. Friday, we went to a local New Orleans bar for a private party for a friend’s birthday party. Unlike other major cities, New Orleans bars [...]
I have introduced many “different” foods into Cory’s life. He thought I was crazy the first time I suggested having couscous as a side for dinner (he ended up loving it)… insisted he didn’t care for hummus until I brought home Sabra’s Pine Nut Hummus. He has tried and liked many “new” foods… pomegranates, [...]
My mornings usually consist of a shower, emails, and cereal… I’m still loving the pomegranate cereal addition! Then it’s off to work where I enjoy a steamy cup of my favorite tea… This week I decided to shake things up a bit by adding yoga to my morning routine. So before my cereal and emails, [...]
Whole Foods is a RD’s paradise! It’s best if I enter the gates of heaven Whole Foods with a grocery list in hand… so that I stay on track and do not get too distracted with the plethora of healthy foods. Cory and I try to spend no more than $125 each week on groceries. [...]
A slow cooked roast is the perfect “comfort food” for the cooler months in my book. Over the weekend, I made a tender, delicious roast! This meal was actually one of the first meals Cory ever cooked for me I did modify his recipe a bit. Ingredients A Roast (of course)… I used a [...]
Winter is upon us when pomegranates appear in the supermarkets. I miss the sweet, juicy, deliciousness of pomegranates during the summer months… but October through January pomegranates are plentiful. About five years ago, I opened my first pomegranate not knowing what to expect under the peel. I knew seeds were inside but I was not [...]
Can you think of a better place to spend a Saturday morning than this? Audubon Park in New Orleans is absolutely beautiful! The weather was perfect for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk. Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes [...]
Go, go, go… that is the pace I maintain on most days. I like to get things done and I like to get them done quickly! The problem is that if I don’t take time to unwind and relax I accumulate stress and tension… the kind of stress and tension you feel in your shoulders [...]
Sometimes the day flies by and it is already 7:30 pm and you have not even thought about dinner options… enter my favorite “fast food” place… Pita Pit! Quick service, fresh ingredients, healthy choices… not to mention they deliver. I ordered the Hummus Pita on wheat with feta, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and banana peppers [...]
