The past two weeks I’ve been in Florida for a work trip. It’s been a lot of long hours at work, but I’ve also had time to spend with my friends and family and their sweet puppy dogs. Oh, and the weather in Florida has been just heavenly! Sunny during the day and cool at [...]Healthy Eating on Travel is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

On one of the coldest days in NYC this year, my friend Lauren and I traveled to the lower east side for brunch at a raw vegan restaurant called Quintessence. We snuggled in to a corner table by the door. Thank goodness we were seated next to a heater because we were freezing! I guess [...]Review: Quintessence is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Greetings from Florida! I’m working in FL for the next few weeks, and I’m really enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, and time with friends. It doesn’t even feel like winter here. I laid out by the pool yesterday for Pete’s sake. I’m here to work, but I’m determined to enjoy myself too. Almost exactly one [...]Review: Hummus Place (Again) is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Ya know how I was talking about centering your meal around vegetables? Here’s an easy, healthy veggie wrap I made that’s great for a light lunch or dinner. I’ve been eating them every day this week, and they only take 5 minutes to prepare. Adding lots of tasty spreads and a dash of salt and [...]Easy, Healthy Lunch or Dinner is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Centering your meals around vegetables is a great healthy practice and helps you feel satisfied instead of stuffed when you’re done eating. On Friday, my best buddy Lauren was in town for the weekend and we stayed in for dinner and a movie at home. She wanted to make some kind of skewers, and with [...]Veggie Skewers w/ Chimichurri is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Yesterday I shared my recipe for a grilled sea bass sandwich with sriracha mayo in the Fresh Fish, Part 1 post. Today I’ve got a make-you-drool crab and scallop chowder. This is a perfect meal for the winter time. It’s warm and comforting and great to pair with a small salad or serving of green [...]Fresh Fish, Part 2 is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Last weekend I bought some fresh seafood from Fairway, a well-known grocery store in NYC. In my opinion, Fairway is one of the best places to buy seafood because their fish counter is nestled inside a walk-in refrigerated section of the store that ensures everything stays super fresh. The fish is always kept super cold [...]Fresh Fish, Part 1 is a post from: Laurel On Health Food

Happy New Year’s my friends! The holiday season is gone and it’s time to start fresh. Wait, hold up. I don’t know about you, but I still feel like sleeping for a week before going back to work! Anyone else? Last year I accomplished a lot, and last Thursday marked my two-year anniversary living in [...]New Year’s Resolution is a post from: Laurel On Health Food
