After Thanksgiving and lots of travel, it was back to a busy work day! I was craving a fresh, light lunch, so I decided to mix up some salad and sip on green tea. It was one of those meals where you feel satisfied and rejuvenated - and the flavors of pear, corn, and lemon juice was unexpected!</div>

I had a long day of traveling and meetings, and knew there would be no time to break for lunch. I needed an option that I didn't need to heat up and that would leave me feeling light and alert during my conversations with colleagues. I mixed up some leftover couscous from dinner with spring greens, mozzarella, and quartered artichoke hearts. Instead of dressing, I buy artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil and herbs - perfect light addition to a protein-packet salad!</div>

I love me some ice cream just as much as the next girl. But sometimes, the sugar and dairy can take a toll. So imagine my delight upon finding this <a href="http://engine2diet.com/the-daily-beet/magic-banana-ice-cream-just-in-time-for-mothers-day/">dairy-free banana "ice cream" recipe</a>! It was so incredible easy - in addition to the vanilla, I added some cinnamon, and the flavor was perfect! Highly recommended dessert for those watching calories, fat, or added sugar! </div>

Today was one of those low days where I had a moment of weakness and stress-ate Sour Patch Kids. Combining that with an unproductive afternoon, I left work feeling less than my best. So when I got home, I knew I wanted a dinner full of nutrients, fiber, and flavor. I found two great recipes and decided to make them both! I used this Roasted Cauliflower <a href="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/roasted_cauliflower/">recipe</a>, but opted for Gruyere over Parmesan. Then, I took a note from this easy Carrot, Potatoes & Parsley <a href="http://www.cookingwitherin.com/2011/11/roasted-potatoes-and-parsley.html">recipe</a> and cooked the two at 400 degrees side by side for about 30 minutes (add the Gruyere to the cauliflower in the last 5 minutes of roasting to get that decadent melty affect). Serve with a whole grain roll and you're in for a successful dinner!</div>

As Sandy cleanup progresses around the city, it's been inspiring to see everyone coming together to help. After walking to a donation collection near my apartment, I stumbled upon a great health store and juice bar called <a href="http://www.simplynaturalnyc.com/">Simply Natural</a>. They have an extensive - and extremely well-priced - <a href="http://www.simplynaturalnyc.com/smoothies-juices--more.html">menu</a>, including juices and smoothies. And while to the untrained eye, this beverage looks like slime, it's crisp, refreshing, and nutrient-dense. I will definitely be back! </div>

I was in the mood for a light dinner, and found this fresh arugala at a nearby market. The combination of bitter greens, savory gruyere, and sweet jam was a perfect combination. Simply top the tortilla with raspberry jam and shredded gruyer and set it under the broiler on high for about 1-2 minutes. Remove when the jam is bubbling and edges are browning. Top with arugala and enjoy immediately!</div>

Today I discovered the absolutely amazing hidden gem known as <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/stiles-farmers-market-new-york">Stiles Farmers Market</a> on 9th Ave. For less than $5, I got a head of cabbage, two carrots, two leaks, two cloves of garlic, two potatoes, and a bag of fresh parsley. It was inexpensive, but high quality - and perfect for "working from home because of a broken subway" meal. Add in some tofu and it's packed with nutrients and flavor; it's really a wonderful warm meal to eat on the couch! Leave a comment if you'd like the recipe to be posted! :)</div>

Hurricane Sandy has officially tackled New York City, and it's meant power outages, closed supermarkets, and limitations on leaving the apartment. I am incredibly blessed that I am well, and that my family and friends are all safe. It's been a bit too hectic, rainy, and windy outside to leave the apartment just yet, so I opted for a dinner I could make with what I already had in the house: pasta, zucchini, and parmesan. Grateful to have a healthy meal, and praying for those who still need power, food, water, and shelter.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the middle of the afternoon, after running around to five different stores to find a flashlight (and failing), I was famished. It was too close to dinnertime to have a full on meal, so I opted for this delicious snack. I had two slices of a brioche loaf that I bought from <a href="http://www.sullivanstreetbakery.com/">Sullivan Street Bakery,</a> and it was perfection; it's the type of bread that makes you want to go out of your way just to pick up a fresh loaf. Add in a sliced apple from the farmer's market and a dollop of chunky peanut butter, and I was certainly not hungry when I finished!</div>

As we prepare for Hurricane Sandy that is soon to hit New York, I decided I wanted to fuel my body with some extra protein before we potentially lose power (and the option of eating foods like yogurt, cooked tofu, and heated-up soup!). I opted for Barilla protein+ pasta with smoked salmon and steamed spinach, which I purchased a farmer's market yesterday. It was delicious and helped me power through hurricane preparations!</div>

Yesterday was a whirlwind! In less than 24 hours, I had moved into my brand new apartment in Midtown and was completely unpacked. Exhausted yet excited, I settled into the sofa and decided I wanted something sweet. The bad news? I had yet to go food shopping. The good news? A farmer's market stand right outside was selling these delicious green guys, the perfect snack for sweetness + hydration. I'm not saying these are the equivalent of a slice of red velvet cake, but I feel significantly better after eating them than some sugary confection! :)</div>

I took a personal day today because I'm moving into a new apartment. After the mayhem of carrying suitcases and scheduling my movers, I needed a majorly healthy lunch, before hopping on a 4-hour train to see my parents. Enter this delightful chopped salad, from <a href="http://www.44andx.com/"><span id="goog_92373533"></span>44 & X,<span id="goog_92373534"></span></a> a trendy, bright, and healthy restaurant only a 10 minute walk from my apartment. The texture was perfect, and I loved the light pesto dressing around the side. It was that perfect "won't leave me feeling blah" meal before a long train ride.<br />

My least favorite kind of work day is one that, unfortunately, seems to be inevitable once in a while: sitting around a table in a five-hour long meeting without any hope of a break or chance to stand. To combat the fatigue that came along with this type of a morning, I ordered this energizing salad for lunch. Packed with healthy plant proteins and vitamins, this and my half-hour long walk afterwards were a great pick-me-back-up.</div>

It has been so many days since I've posted! The end of this week, and this weekend, has been a jam-packed whirlwind. But I've managed to adhere to my health goals despite no posts! Yesterday, my wonderful grandmother took the train into New York to meet my cousin and me for lunch. We went to <a href="http://www.brasserieruhlmann.com/">Brasserie Ruhlmann</a> and ate at their outdoor, less-expensive venue right by Rockefeller Center. I ordered this organic salad topped with my first fish in weeks (their purely vegetarian options were limited). It was fresh and the perfect pre-show meal, as my grandmother and I made our way to a beautiful performance of <i>Phantom of the Opera</i>. Today, I met up with my boyfriend's mother and sister for some Asian cuisine. I opted for a noodle soup with tofu and tons of vegetables, after which we spent two hours walking around Central Park - lovely, but I'm a bit wiped! I have a major presentation at work tomorrow so it's off to bed for me! Hope you all had healthy weekends! :)</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday Morning</span> </b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Food:</b> Hearty oatmeal with strawberry slices and raisins. Chai latte with real tea, soy milk, cinnamon, and a touch of honey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Body:</b> A 15-minute walk before lunch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today was my favorite kind of work day: work from home! Or some days, like today, work from a fantastic cafe! I spent about four hours this morning at the <a href="http://www.tealoungeny.com/about">Tea Lounge in Brooklyn</a>. It's got this great ambiance, friendly patrons, and really high-quality food and drinks. I started off with an oatmeal breakfast with strawberries (I'm clinging onto this fruit as long as possible!) and raisins, accompanied by a delicious Chai latte. This was not your Starbucks-style latte, made with syrup and sugar. Instead, the Tea Lounge uses real, loose-leave tea bags, foamed soy milk, cinnamon, and honey - simple ingredients for a decadent drink.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Ah, bed sweet bed. I arrived home exhausted tonight after two days of travel for work, and it happened: all I wanted to do was get in sweatpants, eat popcorn, devour ice cream, and watch Netflix. And I almost did. Until I remembered a rule I gave myself this summer: <i>salad first</i>. In other words, if I'm craving junk food or "comfort food", I can have it - so long as I eat a healthy salad first. It works in one of two ways: either (1) I eat the salad and feel great and don't want to taint that with bad foods, or (2) I eat the salad and am still having a craving, in which case I indulge, but not to the quantity I would have had I not eaten a fiber-filled salad beforehand. Ta-da! Magic, guilt-free, awesomeness. And nutrition.</div>

I had to travel for work today, so I knew it was the type of day I wanted to start off with a lot of protein and hydration. Enter this delicious breakfast: yogurt (8 grams of protein), chia seeds (3 grams of protein), peanut butter (7 grams of protein), and challah bread (4 grams of protein), plus a large glass of organic coconut water, my miracle hydrator. I wish I had added a piece of fruit, but for what it was, it was a fulfilling start to the morning!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday Night</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Food:</b> Roasted potatoes and collard greens with Israeli couscous</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Body:</b> an hour-long walk around midtown on this surprisingly-warm fall October day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yesterday's weather was that crisp, biting reminder that winter is around the corner. But today, the temperature crept back up into the upper 60s. I was in the mood for some winter veggies and Israeli couscous when I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.poorgirlgourmet.com/2012/06/israeli-cous-cous-with-roasted-sweet.html">Poor Girl Gourmet's amazing recipe</a>. Alas, my local market did not have sweet potatoes available so I went for red-skin potatoes. I followed her collard greens/potato recipe pretty much to the letter, but opted for traditionally cooked Israeli (whole wheat) couscous instead. Nonetheless, this dish was fantastic and warm - not to mention loaded with vitamins. Luckily, I have plenty leftover for lunch tomorrow!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For lunch, I was craving something savory and miraculously had the perfect place recommended to me. <a href="http://brooklynvictorygarden.com/">Brooklyn Victory Garden </a>makes decadent sandwiches with locally-sourced ingredients. Following the bread trend from breakfast, I opted for this veggie-and-cheese mix. And I'm <i>so</i> glad I did. It was the perfect blend of bitter arugula, sweet peach jam, and savory cheddar. Paired with a clean cup of green tea, it was an easy $5... I'll take this over the famous Subway foot-long any day!</div>

Today was the best kind of work day: work from home! Or in my case, work from the delicious restaurant <a href="http://www.milkbarbrooklyn.com/">Milk Bar</a> to enjoy a locally-sourced breakfast while completing a project. I opted for a hot cup of spicy chai tea and this bright toast, a secret attempt to enjoy my favorite fruit one more time before it's totally out of season. Strawberries are amazing, both for their health benefits and because they remind me of the way my mom would slice them up, throw them in a bowl, and stick them in the fridge for my brother and I to enjoy. Until late spring, strawberries...</div>
