How are you, my Darling?

People here (NYC) aren’t really deprived of a good drink. But from time-to-time you can come across a bad bar or overpriced dilluted drink.

Crunchy Eggless French Toast

You’re probably thinking how is this Eggless French Toast possible?! Well it is! I woke up this past Sunday morning with a sudden craving for french toast.

Now, for most that does mean calorific fried food items and generally non-vegetarian dishes. But, it’s time to change that! Indulging once a year is okay, but taking in about a …

I like diner food. I think NYC has the best diner food- yes, I am biased. But, seriously take me to a a diner in another state that is better than a NYC diner. Yah, it probably doesn’t exist, hehe. In any case, we were in the mood for some diner-style food, and didn’t really …

My Daily Meal Regimen- How to Stay Fit

I graduated college in May 2010. Ever since May 17th, I’ve been home in Staten Island, NY. Now, to some people coming back to their “parents” home is a drag and no fun. However, I still refer to my home as MY home, not my parents. According to my philosophy, it’s still my home until …
