"Miso Nutty" Salad

I don't know what it is about salads that is so repelling. People hear salad and instantly think of 3 other things that sound much better (I thought of lasagna, sushi, and burgers btw). I mean, I don't blame them. The only time I really wanted a salad was when I discovered that goat cheese, cranberry, walnut salad at Whole Foods and let's face it, 9 times outta...

Raw Chocolate Walnut Brownie with Cinnamon "Cream Cheese" Frosting

It seems Fall brings out the desire in me to make raw treats. It makes absolutely no sense since the colder it gets, the more people are likely to want to turn on the oven. Well for me, I get mega lazy this time of year. We're talking let-me-drink-this-chai-tea-for-several-hours-while-watching-youtube-wrapped-in-my-ikea-blanket lazy. So if I can just whip...

Not to mention taking photos when you want natural lighting is one frustrating task. There are many fun activities that I find are reserved for those days. Going to the movies, taking a sports class, walking around...

Osteria il Ciottolo in Verona, Italy

My trip to Italy in August consisted of only two things: art and food. Not to mention the time before that and the time before that and, well, you get the drift. There's something about hopping from church to museum to random-cool-building-facade-I've-seen -a-million-times-in-cities-around-Italia that leave me completely content. Of course, not without a good...

Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Truffles

No matter the day or the mood, I want chocolate. I want chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want chocolate on a boat, I want chocolate with a goat, in a house with a mouse, I want chocolate here and there, I want it everywhere! All that being said, I do like to spread the wealth. What is chocolate without a friend to share it with? These chocolate...

American Museum of Natural History and Red Bamboo Restaurant

Now that we're officially in fall season, I decided to rewind to a time not too long ago (a month ago to be exact), when New York was scorching hot and I thought I was going to melt into a little puddle and dribble into New York sewage. Gross? Yes, that's exactly how I felt! But looking back at these pictures now, I long for this kind of weather (I am a Summer...
