Kids Korner
Cooking healthy nutritious meals is one of the biggest feats for busy moms and dads out there. With all that we do, it is hard to plan, shop, cook, and serve healthy delicious meals. It takes a lot of energy and an investment in time. Often, if you are diligent enough to get a healthy meal on the table, the picky little buggers don't even want to try it. This leaves us feeling deflated and under-appreciated. All of that time, energy, and MONEY has been wasted, and your kids end up asking if they can eat a bowl of cereal instead.

Best Hominy Dish
Changing what you put into your diet can help you achieve a healthy lifestyle. Healing Through Food What changes make a difference in a total healthy lifestyle? Most would say diet, exercise, and a stress-free itinerary. These are some of the steps that begin the process (when you start to get some motivation about yourself to do them), but changing what you put into your diet, exercise, and itinerary is the big kicker. Just as everyone else, I began to research different sources for the best answers, which I do incorporate into my current regimen. There are many suggestions to be sought after, yet I know there is a deeper connection in selecting the right one that best fits. Some call it the cellular level, though I know it taps into a spiritual aspect, whether you want to believe it or not.

"Spiced Nuts"
The holidays are just around the corner. This family favorite always brought a warm smile to everyone in my family and get togethers! Sitting around the Christmas tree or fireplace munching on this treat with a cup of hot cider or glass of red wine, it just doesn't get any better than this. It's a great conversation starter and so easy to make. This tradition started when my oldest daughter was a toddler. We were having a Christmas fellowship at our church and I was called at the last minute to bring a little something to snack on during a Christmas movie that they were putting on for the kids. Well, they caught me off guard I had no popcorn, which was always my go to, or anything else because I hadn't even been to the store because I was busy with all the Christmas hubbub. So, I had about a pound of pecans, cinnamon, eggs and sugar so viola! A family tradition was born. Everyone loved it. Hope your family will too. You can double and even triple the recipe to suit your needs.

Industry1332
From the ends of the Bushwick area to Ridgewood Queens, Industry1332 is a small hipster brunch place that is unique for its karaoke, happy hour, and their brunch dishes. Their tavern theme blends in with the modern artwork outside as well as inside the building. Along with the wonderful food, Industry1332 has a lot to offer considering it is one of the only restaurants in the area.

Recapturing Childhood Through Sopapillas
Some of my fondest childhood memories surround family birthdays spent at our local Poncho's restaurant. They are memories of light filtered through glass sun-catchers, and of over-sized sombreros perched above smiling faces. They memories of small children clutching piñatas carefully selected from its perch on the wall dividers throughout the restaurant; a piñata that inevitably hung from a bedroom ceiling until it fell to pieces. Above all, they are memories full of delicious Mexican food which included my personal favorite: fresh sopapillas with honey.

SnowFox
Way down by Madison Square Park across from the Shake Shack there’s a small make your own ramen spot called SnowFox. I heard good things about this place and after all the chatter I figured I’d go see it for myself. From the design of the place to the food and service, SnowFox has gotten really good traffic which made me wonder why it has taken me so long to try this place out. SnowFox is next to McDonald’s and Chop’t salad place which means it’s fairly easy to find. With a hunger for something to eat I was excited and ready to begin this experience.

Daiya Cheese Lover's Pizza. Top Story - October 2017.
As a new vegan (fresh of only two months, vegetarian for three and a half years), I have to admit I have my doubts on certain vegan items. And when you had loved cheese as much as I did, pizza was on the top of the go to list of foods when hungry for just about anytime, day or night.

Vegan Peruvian Lomo Saltado Recipe
When I first became vegan, I worried that I might have to give up some of my favorite dishes from my culture. In my eyes, Peruvian cuisine is some of the best food around. While most staple dishes consist of meat, I soon realized it isn't hard to find substitutes or workarounds that allow vegans to enjoy the same delicious meals, without the harm.
