Wild for Shrimp

My favorite dish as a child was shrimp scampi.  Whenever we’d go out to dinner, which wasn’t very often, it was my go-to choice, hands-down.

Coconut Water- Hype or Healthy?

Coconut water here, coconut water there, coconut water everywhere! Have you noticed the surge of it over the recent few years? I certainly have, and along with the growing rise in popularity comes a wide range of product quality.  Some of the more mainstream brands I’ve tried, though their ingredient panel appears benign, simply don’t […]

Paleo is in the City- At Your Local Bodega!

“It’s hard to find good, fresh, healthy food“, people say all the time.   And, depending on where one lives, it can be quite true. However, both at home in Los Angeles as well as here in NYC, I must comment that the ease at which one can find a healthy option for a meal […]
