Regina Regina Regina!

We love Regina Spektor!! Last year Jade and I checked out Regina when she performed on a rainy day at McCarren Park Pool (pic below). Brooklyn lager, umbrellas and Regina's fabulous set made for a perfect day in the pool. Jade and I just checked her out at the Beacon on June 17th! So fun!! Above is a snap shot of the girls after the show. From left to right is Erin, Meagan (Jade's sister!), Jade and me. Regina's new album FAR hits the shelves June 23! "Blue Lips" and "Laughing With" are our favorites so download download download! ~MvL

Sunshine lunch

Trying to not buy extra food, I decided to make a dish with what I had left in the refrigerator from my Urban Organic box. Corn, yellow squash, red onion. Mostly yellow and definitely sunny-looking. I came up with something totally yummy.

Sunshine Bowl
2 small yellow summer squash, julienned
2 corn-on-the cob, cooked and cut from ear (about 1 cup)
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
2 Tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
juice of one lemon (about 2 Tablespoons)
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, toss. EAT. xoJzB

Best. Show. Ever.

Last night I went to see The Giraffes at The Knitting Factory. Great fabulous amazing show. Loud music, great musicians, hot lead singer, small venue, not too crowded. All the ingredients for a great rock show. $12 dollar tickets and $6 dollar cocktails..BLISS xoxoJzB

Veg City Rockers meet the Lazy Environmentalist!!

You never know who you're gonna meet at the chiro. A couple of months ago, we were getting a quick crack and ended up talking to this guy, who also rode his bike to his appointment. We started talking and turns out, he's the Lazy Environmentalist. He's super cool and we LOVE his blog. Today we were riding home form work together and a New York City bus came up on our side while at at red and saw Josh's mug plasted on the bus. Turns out he has a TV show! Yay you!! Josh if you're listening, we're available anytime for FREE advice on cheap veg fun! wink

Fast & Healthy Lunch? Hell Yeah!

We love Morning Star Farm's new hickory smoked Riblets. We made up a quick lunch for ourselves that was absolutely delicious (and of course healthy). Whole wheat wrap, Riblet, sprouts, green peppers and tomatoes. Wrap it up and viola! Lunch is served.

Vegan Latin food is alive and well and living in Park Slope!

This Saturday my hubby and I were exploring a new neighborhood, we choose Park Slope. While wandering around we found the most brilliant discovery. V Spot. This place is amazing. It has an extensive menu - which includes brunch, organic wine and beer and a fabulous outdoor patio dining area. Mike and I decided to go simple and got the appetizer sampler 1 (the unhealthy one) which included nachos, buffalo chicken, empanadas, crispy nuggets and 2 Stellas. SPLURGE! Was tons of fun and we highly recommend it! Check. It. Out.

Veg NY Pizza?!

You bet! If you have lamented eating New York City street pizza ever since you went veg well your prayers have been answered. Freddie and Pepper's Pizzeria on Amsterdam & 75th makes a tasty whole wheat soy cheese pizza loaded with lots of yummy vegetables! Perfect pit stop after a night of drinks (we all know it's the magic solution). It's a wonderful healthy solution to balance out those cocktails and it's CHEAP! So check it out and let us know what you think!
