The very first time I ever ate tofu was during my initial attempt at going vegetarian when I was maybe 11 years old. As someone who totally depended on their parents for food—and whose idea of a quality meal at the time was making “cheese soup,” aka putting shredded mozzarella and water in a coffee…
Hitting up the infrared sauna has become one of my favorite parts of my self-care routine. After hearing about it plenty of times—and even writing about it being one of New York City’s hottest (literally) new date spots!—I decided I should probably give it a try. And now that I have, let’s just say I’m hooked.…
You probably already have your kitchen stocked with a variety of different nuts: almonds, cashews, pistachios—you name it. One you might not have heard of, though? Pili nuts. Here’s why you’re about to see them everywhere. The Scoop on Pili Nuts Found mostly in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, the buttery nuts are considered a…
I had a lot of thoughts when we decided it was time to leave New York City, and one of them was: “But what am I going to do without my favorite salad?!” The second I first had Peacefood’s Spicy Unchicken Caesar Salad, I knew it was love. And that’s exactly why I made it my mission…

Which, to be honest, doesn’t happen often in tiny New York City apartment kitchens where there’s typically a one-person capacity. This time I headed out to her new place in Bushwick…
I always love snooping around to see what other people are into (tell me I’m not alone!), so I thought why not share some of my go-tos as well? Since this is my first blog post featuring my favorite things, most of these items have been in my life for quite a while—which is even…
I’m going to be honest: I’m stressed out 95% of the time. I love being a full-time freelancer, but just like most jobs, it comes with its downfalls. My schedule can easily go from nice and calm to super overwhelming with a bunch of crazy deadlines and events, which means my top priority needs to…
Before going vegan, I was the queen of mac and cheese. And I’m still happy to say nearly a year after going cheese-free, I’m still the queen of mac and cheese—just minus the actual cheese.
