My day started off pretty well. I woke up around 9am and made a bee-line for Dunkin’ Donuts. Mmm, coffee. After my daily dose of crack caffeine I made breakfast. I mixed 2 Tbs of PB2 with a container of plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of berries, and 1 cup + of Heritage O’s. The [...]

Last night Nate and I enjoyed dinner at the Route 66 cafe (located in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan). The restaurant was an interesting mix of motifs. The design of the restaurant featured modern lighting, cozy tables, and a bit of Route 66 nostalgia by way of old license plates and maps. The menu [...]

Last night I was looking through some old photos and I realized it had been exactly two years since I graduated from Wesleyan University (May 27, 2007). A lot has happened in the time since commencement – 1 internship, 2 jobs, 3 cities, 2 marathons, and my first apartment! Since I’m feeling nostalgic I thought I’d [...]

I love cooking with fresh, locally produced food! All of the vegetables (except the garlic) in these recipes came from the market. Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and [...]

I’ve talked about my admiration for Molly Wizenberg’s writing before and yesterday’s food choices were much inspired by her blog “The Orangette” and her recent book. On Sunday evening, I baked chocolate chip-banana bread and I think it was one of the top 3 banana breads that I’ve ever eaten (tooting my own horn, just a [...]

Rachel and I were up bright and early this morning. Before we headed downtown, I enjoyed a quick breakfast of Stonyfield Greek yogurt, banana, 1/2 cup peanut butter granola, and a calcium supplement. We arrived at the South Street Seaport around 10:30am and retrieved our (free!) bicycles. The New York City Downtown Alliance is offering [...]

I didn’t end up going to cycling this morning – instead I decided to attempt a run. I definitely still had pain (inside of right knee/butt), but it wasn’t awful. I stretched very well and used the foam roller before hand. I also walked for a few minutes before I began running in order to [...]

TGIF! This week has seemed very long…Someone had the day off and was really rubbing in the fact that I had to go to work while he slept until “noon-thirty”. Hehe. Breakfast was coffee, 1/2 banana, greek yogurt, 1/2 cup peanut butter granola, and a calcium supplement. My day was pretty hectic, but I managed [...]

I began Thursday with a morning trip to the gym (still trying to find activities that don’t exacerbate my IT band/hamstring/butt pain). After 30 minutes of elliptical, 10 minutes of rowing, and some foam rolling I was feeling pleasantly sweaty! Breakfast was coffee, calcium supplement, 1/2 apple, 1/2 banana, cinnamon raisin bagel, and Tbs Barney [...]
