Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
Time for recent meals again! I had a vegetarian salad bowl from Maoz over the weekend. Maoz has always been a favorite of mine – especially back in the day when I could load the toppings myself into the bowl at the city Maoz locations. For this Maoz salad bowl, I had them drizzle tahini […]
Time to talk food! Here’s another salad bowl from CAVA. I really like how many toppings they have to offer although the black lentils freak me out when I look at them – they remind me of caviar and I don’t like caviar. I had a not so great salad from Chopt. I’m not […]
I believe that I missed last Wednesday’s food post so let’s catch up a bit. Nothing shocking here, just my usual go-to favorite salad from The Cheesecake Factory. It’s still all about those onion strings. I stopped for Wild Fig while in Roslyn. Wild Fig is still, in my overall opinion, better than CAVA but […]
Let’s back up a bit, back to late last week when I was in the city. Indoor dining in the city has been closed (but is set to reopen this Friday). While downtown in lower Manhattan, we stopped at Little Italy pizza for some pizza to eat outside. It’s a bit strange to eat pizza […]
I never eat in my bed nor do I ever work from my bed. However, last Friday morning after starting to feel better from being sick from my period, I made some exceptions. I wanted to get a few things done for work so I brought my computer into my bed. I also needed to […]
As I put this post together, I realize that I always end up with weekend recaps mostly about food! You may remember that Maoz is one of my favorite places for a loaded up vegetarian salad bowl. It’s been a while since I last had a Maoz salad so this bowl was extra special […]
Who wants to take my place this morning as the person in charge of getting my son up and out the door for school for the first time in two weeks? I didn’t think I would have any volunteers. It isn’t going to pretty. Thankfully I am a morning person, otherwise first mornings back to the routine would […]
I really like nice restaurants. I enjoy getting dressed up and dining out so fancy with so many forks and spoons next to my plate that I don’t even know which to use for which course. However, if you bring me to Whole Foods and tell me that I can have as much as I want from the […]
It isn’t often that you find people who actually care to hear you ramble on about a fudge cake or a delicious restaurant. In fact, my friends and family often look at me funny when I take cake selecting and restaurant menus so seriously. I’m so glad you share in my excitement just so I can […]
You are going to be so proud of my will power. I was in Whole Foods on Monday shopping for Rosh Hashanah and completely held myself together when passing the food bar. The roasted vegetables display was bountiful and beautiful BUT I was able to resist and my wallet was super thankful. I have even held […]
I may have an insatiable sweet tooth but when it comes to the roasted vegetables from the Whole Foods food bar, I have zero will power. I was at Whole Foods over the weekend just to pick up wild-caught salmon to cook for my mother’s birthday dinner (she loves salmon, me not so much at all unless it […]
My quick weekend away was just a little more than 48 hours of time yet in those hours were lots of good foods. Let’s start with the flight down to Florida on Friday. I brought my own salad from home to eat on the plane. Roasted sweet potato wedges on top of a simple salad with […]
