I did a long cardio workout at the gym on Friday, and I left with a huge craving for…burgers and fries. Haha! Funny when that happens, huh? Well, I decided to fulfill my craving, but to do it my way with a healthy twist. It’s fun to get to indulge in “junk” foods once in [...]Burgers & Fries! is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

I came down with a cold right after my birthday. Ugh! I guess that’s what I get for staying out late and partying all week! I finally started feeling better last night, so I took a stroll over to the health food store and bought a bunch of organic veggies. I had been living off [...]Grilled Veggie Plate is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Were you worried when the news broke about the egg recall? I checked the brand I bought, but I was pretty sure there wasn’t any organic eggs on the list. Sure enough, the infected chickens were living in a typical factory farm in tiny cages. Since organic chickens are able to roam free and are [...]The Case for Organic Eggs is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

In the world of raw foods, desserts are where it’s at. After falling in love with the raw coconut macaroons I found at health food stores and NYC’s raw/vegan restaurants, I knew I wanted to make them at home. Since my birthday is this weekend, I figured today was the perfect time for an early [...]Chocolate Coconutty Macaroons is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

I ended up going out on both Friday and Saturday night over the weekend, which I normally don’t do, so I was really tired out yesterday. I spent the day watching episodes of Lost and taking naps. What a lazy Sunday! Finally in the afternoon I got some energy up to make food for the [...]Curried Quinoa Salad is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

My favorite lunch is a big salad with lots of fresh vegetables and filling things like nuts, avocados, organic meat, or eggs. Two of my favorite additions lately have been pumpkin seeds and spicy chicken sausage. Yum! When you add lots of flavor and filling ingredients to your salads they become much more satisfying and [...]Kick Up Your Salad is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

One of my best buddies Rose came to visit this weekend, and on Friday night we went to the raw/vegan/organic restaurant, Pure Food & Wine in NYC. Since the food was pretty pricey, we shared a few dishes and kept it light. We loved their sweet corn polenta appetizer with chanterelle mushrooms and the raw [...]Raw Food Love & Pudding Recipe is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

I went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant with some girlfriends last week and my shrimp and vegetable enchiladas came with a delicious carrot salad on the side. I loved how fresh, summery, and crunchy it was. Plus it was super healthy and light. I re-created my own carrot salad and used more of [...]Healthy Side Dish: Sweet Carrot & Radish Salad is a post from: Laurel On Health Food
