My favorite NYC restaurant is ABC Kitchen on 18th Street, between Broadway and Park Ave. Everything is local and organic… love.

Favorite Menu Item: Avocado and Carrot Salad.

Thanks for brunch Louise!

Carrie Underwood’s thoughts on going vegan:

”My veganism is based on a concern about where my food is coming from. In my perfect world, I’d have webcams wherever food is processed so I’d know how clean it is.”

”I’ll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it, but if I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome!”

Brussels Sprout Salad with Tahini Dressing:

• Cut up 6-10 brussels sprouts
• Mix 1.5 tablespoons of tahini, a splash of lemon, water (add as much as desired for consistency), 1 crushed garlic clove, Celtic sea salt, & pepper.
• Add above dressing to brussels sprouts. Mix.
• Lay on plate and top with organic raw cashews and any green garnish.
• Enjoy! Conscious eating people…

Can’t believe I need to hold this in for a little longer, but I have a big announcement to make… Will let you all know the news later this month!

Going out for a run now, need the fresh air. Excuse the messy apartment, gearing up for a move.

Yes it’s true, I started off as a full 100% raw vegan about 5 years ago, but realized that I’m happier when I’m not so strict with myself. Therefore, I eat about 90% raw now and leave 10% open for other fabulous vegan dishes such as the one I made below for dinner tonight. Everyone is different and should do what feels right for them… I admit it’s nice to have something warm in your body during these colder months.

At the end of the day, it is about eating natural organic produce that the body recognizes and knowing where your food comes from…

Cut up yams, red onions, and brussel sprouts, and drizzled olive oil, celtic sea salt, and rosemary on top. Delicious!

As mentioned, my brother’s flight got canceled back to Miami, so he stayed here with his GF. And Stefan made breakfast for all of us.

Clearly my avocado toast and green kale smoothie is way better than his pancakes 😉

My bikram yoga studio had 4 classes total yesterday (yippi), obviously packed… And beforehand I stopped by lululemon athletica for some new shorts. Can’t show you the second pair I got cause their drenched in sweat. 🙂 Anyways they really have the best workout stuff. Try it!

We were so lucky! Still have power and water here on the Upper East Side, but downtown (where we used to live) is a disaster zone. My office has no electricity so this is my 4th day home from work… My brother Gustaf and his girlfriend Monique stayed with us for a few days and forgot these magazines, so here I am, catching up on the season’s must-haves and drinking Mamma Chia. Very thankful for my situation. And wish our two visitors a safe drive down to Miami…
