Eataly

Now, I know that I promised this post a few weeks back - I'm sorry it's taken me so very long to post!

About a month ago, when my mother was visiting for the weekend we popped into this lovely market in Chelsea: Eataly. If you live in the area or are travelling to NYC I highly recommend checking it out. It's huge, crowded, amazing, and totally worth it - that is, if you have the time and patience to navigate the maze of people. 

I've been to Eataly a few times, but never to sit for dinner (only because of timing issues though) I'm looking forward to going back soon for a proper dinner! There's so many different things to choose from - many of which are either organic, or locally sourced. Beautiful wine and sparkling too!

PS. The gelato is incredible.

Breakfast Smoothie

There's nothing like a bonus Monday off! I even tricked myself into thinking I had to go to work today and got my workout out of the way by 8 AM. This means I can enjoy a leisurely breakfast curled up on the couch before I attempt any more productivity.

My breakfast today? A smoothie . . . surprise surprise! It wasn't my most creative, but it was still pretty delicious.

Berry Banana Smoothie

1 banana

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

1/2 cup frozen strawberries

1 scoop greens powder

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup organic milk

BLEND and enjoy!!

Sunday Morning Lists and Photos

This week was cut slightly short by the "gigantic nor'easter" that hit the  . . . wait for it . . . north east. I   put gigantic in quotation because, had it not been for the snowless season we had last year, a snow storm that dropped 10" inches wouldn't have caused such alarm and panic. There was admittedly, a lot more snow in New England and on Long Island than we had here, but none the less snow in winter should be anticipated.

I can't complain though, the storm meant a nice cozy weekend at home (that started early Friday afternoon!) with movies, hot chocolate, and snowy walks in my Sorels (which haven't had much wear since 2011).

Currently:

Watching: Skyfall, we started watching it last night and fell asleep.

Reading: Cook's Illustrated. The most recent 2 issues. Want to make everything!

Procrastinating: Going to the gym. My gym clothes are on!

Wishing: To make it to the beach in March.

Loving: This clean apartment! For the moment.

Waiting: For my iPhone to update so I don't have an excuse to not go to the gym.

Enjoying: Instagram and Afterglow apps. So much fun playing with photos! (See below)

Listening: This American Life, Pandora piano playlists, and Beyonce.
