WARNING: This is not a ‘healthy’ post, so don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂 These aren’t really “Almond Joy” cupcakes, but more so “Mounds” cupcakes. But I figured Mounds isn’t as popular as Almond Joy, so no one would’ve known what I was referring too. Anyways, Mounds is like the sister to Almond Joy- …
I had a sudden craving for a veggie burger, but with an Indian flair. In India, you’ll find different variations of veggie burgers, for instance- Frankies, Kati Rolls (which btw The Kati Roll Company on W 39th is amazing) , Vada Pav, Aloo Tikki etc. These are all essentially different forms of a veggie burger. …
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. From my experience (and of course a little help from older, cooler siblings), I’ve narrowed down a few places that I think serve good drinks, and drinks that are worth the …
(Image Source) How many times have you heard this from a friend who’s trying to lose weight before the summer or just in general? Honestly, I find it silly. I feel like people aren’t aware of the way foods can be made healthy, so they just avoid it. I’m not a certified dietician or …

I recently was gifted the recipe book- ‘What’s New Cupcake?’ by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. Let me just say this is probably my new favorite cookbook! Every cupcake is like a cartoon! Bears, race cars, golf course- you name it, it’s a cupcake! The first one to catch my eye was the Walrus! I …
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. I’m usually more of a home fries, cheesy-omlette type of person, but I can use a little bit of sweet-stickyness from time to time! So I decided why …
About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to dine like the rich- well, at least feel rich during restaurant week! If you don’t know what restaurant week is (which I hope is not the case, because it’s awesome and should be taken advantage of!!), it happens 2-3 times a year, where upscale Manhattan …
To keep fresh vegetables and herbs, well, fresh just remember not to wash them and store them in the fridge.
