Freezing temperatures call for hearty, stomach-lining foods like mac and cheese and stews. Since comfort food tends to veer on the unhealthy side though, I love making turkey chili to fulfill my need for a warm bowl of food while keeping my waistline in check. Plus it’s perfect for game day, especially with the Superbowl …
Buffalo Chicken Football Pizza with Garlic Blue Cheese Cream Sauce
We are fully into the fall swing, and I for one am cheering on its return. While others may complain about the cooling temperatures, fall is actually my favorite season for a few reasons including but not limited to: my birthday, Halloween, beautiful changing leaves and trees, less sweating, more sweaters, and most importantly, FOOTBALL. …
Pumpkin Mac and Cheese with Italian Sausage

Cheesy Chicken & Artichoke Cauliflower Casserole
For my fellow artichoke lovers out there, this recipe is for you. While one of my favorite artichoke-focused items is the namesake slice from Artichoke Basille Pizzeria, it’s safe to say that an artichoke slice is nowhere near healthy. So I sought to create a low-carb dish that was easy to make and on the …

NYRR Brooklyn Half Marathon 2014 – Race Day Essentials, Personal Records, and Plenty of Eats
I’ve been quite busy of lately thanks to loads of running as part of New York Road Runners’ 9+1 marathon program, and of course, lots of subsequent eating. A few weeks ago, I ran and set personal records for my 10K and 5K respectively during NYRR’s UAE 10K and 4 Mile Japan Run. But those …
