Baked apple chips are a great snack to satiate your sweet tooth and so easy to make. Simply slice apples as thin as you can, lay them out on a parchment paper lined baking tray or cookie sheet, place in the oven, and bingo bango, you’ll get these wonderful babies.
It’s important to eat your greens, but the cold weather in New York calls for something warming and comforting. So here’s a compromise that will keep you on the plus side of the healthy eating scale. Spinach soup, drizzled with white truffle oil and topped with apple chips.
The holiday season had me tied to the kitchen and my laptop. I had a wonderful time, experimenting with ingredients and reviving old recipes so that I could share them with you. Now I need to get out and see what New York City restaurants’ winter menus have to offer. Hopefully I’ll get some inspiration to develop a recipe or two.
I didn’t venture very far this week, I decided to check out what was new in Harlem – a taste of Harlem, so I visited three newly opened restaurants:

In an effort to eat more healthily I plan on starting my days with a healing or energy giving breakfast. It’s a smart way to start the day. Yesterday I started the day with an apple avocado smoothie. Yum! It is a thoroughly delightful smoothie that will put a pep in your step once consumed. Every ingredient provides healing qualities and together may help to keep symptoms of cardiovascular disease in check. What could be better?
The days of over-indulgence during the holidays has passed and there are many of us who plan on eating more healthily. This quinoa breakfast bowl, made simply of quinoa, parmesan, asparagus, grape tomatoes and topped with a fried egg, is just the trick. Adding this dish to your weekly breakfast regimen will set you on the path to a more calorie-conscious diet, but fear not, it is not lacking in taste.
Quinoa for breakfast is a great idea it is a nourishing and filling first meal of the day and will keep you satisfied until lunchtime.
Are you having a New Year’s Eve party this year? If yes, make sure to serve these wonderful lamb sliders. They are so tasty and packed with flavor, and they will work really well with a cocktail. A nice bubbly creation, like a Classic Champagne Cocktail, or an Organic Elderflower Presse Martini perhaps?
As expected, blog life week 52 has been a busy one. Finishing up my 12 Diverse Dinners recipes of Christmas, planning my Christmas day menu, and just living the life I have created, left me with a lot to do in a short space of time, but I did it.
Celebrate the holidays with an impressive classic champagne cocktail. All you’ll need is some sugar cubes, bitters, cognac and a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine.
Sometimes the simplest things make for the most enjoyable, and that’s exactly how I would describe these caprese skewers.
