Orecchiette with Tomato Sauce and Kale
Thanks to Lauren I ate things other than coffee and boxed mac and cheese for dinner! This recipe came from the Times, but we left out the added sugar… tomatoes are sweet enough already.  Also, we forgot the parmesan and then tried to buy it from 3 different delis.. major fail.  
We are now watching the Grammy Awards while a full on Whitney Houston tribute plays out in the street in front of our apartment.  It’s a great night for learning all the music the “kids” are listening to.  [Did you know Bruno Mars is a singer and NOT tv show?]

New Apartment, Old Roommate!

I mentioned briefly last week that I was moving out of my apartment… and it’s finally over with.  (Minus the 15 boxes left to unpack.)  

Some highlights:

  • I’m now living on the west side of Manhattan for the first time in the 8 years I’ve lived here.
  • I’m no longer living alone!  Living alone was a great experience and I would definitely suggest trying it at some point.  But I’m thrilled to be back with my friend and old roommate, Lauren! Lauren LOVES cooking which is excellent news for this blog.  Also… gentlemen… she’s single. 
  • My apartment has STAIRS.  Apparently, if you move far enough away you can get some awesome amenities.  
  • Things are pretty great.  I no longer have a 50 minute commute via bus and train to Columbia.

Tonight, Lauren made dinner, so I’ve decided to keep her.  Whole wheat pasta, tomatoes, chickpeas and arugula.  And beer.  New apartment rule: there will always with beer.

Welcome to my blog! I’m Michelle, a 26 year old vegetarian, runner, future doctor, and healthy-living enthusiast. My life revolves around food. Cooking food, eating food, discussing the politics of food. We’re surrounded by so many false advertisements and misconceptions about nutrition, its difficult to know where the truth lies. This is my attempt to make everything a bit clearer.

Follow me while I eat delicious food, cook healthy meals, run marathons, and strive to separate the food truths from lies, while living an exciting life in the Big Apple.
