Gone are the days when I could let myself get lost in Whole Foods, scoping out the latest nut butter or casually grinding my own coffee beans. Nowadays I’m in and out of the corner market just long enough to grab my 10 get-me-through-the-week items that I can locate in […]
I’m a great snack packer. Always have been. My mom calls me a squirrel, because I have something stored away in my bag at all times. You never know when you’ll get stranded underground in a hot subway car or stuck in traffic gridlock. And now that I have kids, […]

It’s been cold, damp and dreary in New York for the past few days. My parents were in town to meet our newest addition, Miguel, and we overdid it eating out the first few nights. (Check out The Heyward next time you’re in Williamsburg — delicious Southern food.) So we […]
