F3: Protein Packed

Apparently the NYU kid, who has forsaken the meal plan because his dorm apartment has a kitchen, is wasting away. All he seems to have time for are apples and zucchini and is befuddled as to why he might have low energy and dizzy spells. Really, I should be happy that his spare diet consists of…

Gifts and Cheesecake

They are synonymous, yes? It is the gifty season, if you pick up the December issue you’ll see a whole gaggle of locally made food gifts and fun little trinkets available for your giving pleasure. Food gifts are great because of the potential ROI: Thanks for the blender, let’s make smoothies! Win.

Keep Calm and Pumpkin On

Panic, panic, panic … all day panic for some today. The uncertainty of an election and letting things be decided by your fellow Americans can be scary. There is need for comfort and there is need for gathering. I think the bars will be jammed tonight with people…

F3: Beating DoomGloom

It’s tough out there. You know how I know? Because every political ad is telling me so. It’s beginning to mess with my head, either we’re wickedly worse off than we were a few years ago or we are surely headed into a world of peril if we don’t act now. What’s an optimist to do…
