I am going to share one of my easiest salads to make when you need a full meal or a side salad.
I love a delicious Greek salad but am allergic to red onions so I found a way to pack a lot of flavor into a Salad using ingredients that are delicious and healthy! This salad is packed with Vitamin A, C, K & Fiber from the Kale, Tomatoes, Cauliflower rice & Pomegranate seeds. Also protein from the Feta cheese & Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Dip

I had an incredible dining experience and left extremely full.

Read MoreThe Food:
The food here was delicious. I had a lot of eggs & lobster and I was OK with that! Once we landed we checked in and headed out to a late lunch. We went to the Libertine which was a 5 minute walk from our Hotel and we both enjoyed soft boiled eggs with tomatoes, cheese in a skillet and a piece of garlic bread. That night we had reservations at Soho House Amsterdam since it was a block away from my Hotel and I went Friday night for dinner and drinks. We sat at the restaurant and both were craving burgers! That was shocking for Veronica since she isn’t really a meat eater but after a day of travel it was much needed.
Read MoreI partnered with Dallas BBQ to enjoy a delicious dinner with some of my best friends! When I think of Dallas BBQ I think of hearty and delicious comfort food. Growing up in NYC - Dallas BBQ was always my go to for dinner, especially when I was craving something on the heavier side.
One of my favorite thing on the menu is the onion loaf! I had to describe to my friends what an onion loaf is and it is a loaf of fried onion rings. ((Could it get any better than that))
We also started with the hot chicken wings and cool ranch and and order of the new truffle Mac and cheese. BBQ to me means Mac and cheese, fried food & ribs!
For our entrées we ordered chicken and ribs! I ordered a quarter chicken white meat and BBQ ribs with rice. I love the rice and ribs combo as the rib sauce tastes amazing.
Safe to say we all left extremely full & happy! Thank you so much Dallas BBQ for this partnership.

Staying hydrated this summer is key! I am trying to break my obsession with Diet Sodas by upping my water intake. I have partnered with Core water which delivers a delicious water at the perfect pH level which we are suppose to drink at 7.4 and infused with electrolytes. 7.4 pH is important because too alkaline or too acidic can be harmful to your body, so keeping a natural balance is important. They also have amazing flavored options offering my a healthier substitute for soda. These flavored waters are USDA Organic and contain no artificial flavors and are less then 1g of sugar per serving.
With these waters & 8 flavors of Core organic staying hydrated will be anything but boring!

For Chinese New Year a friend of a friend organized a delicious and cultured dinner in Chinatown at Deluxe Green Bo. I do not often go to Chinatown but I will definitely be going back again. Since I went on Chinese New Year there was so much excitement on the streets and at the restaurant. The restaurant was not the most upscale but it the food was amazing. I ate so many dumplings and loved every bite! We ordered a variety of food, fish, soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, egg drop soup, sesame chicken, vegetables, orange beef and a sesame sticky rice dessert.
I had most amazing time at Mamma Agata's in Ravello for a cooking class. I went with my family and was greeted by Chiara, Mamma' Daughter, who was warm, loving, and hilarious. She made us feel right at home as she introduced us to everyone! We then met Mamma in the kitchen frying up some eggplant for her famous eggplant parmesan. Once we finished making eggplant parmigiana with Mamma Agata, Gennaro, the husband of Chiara came to take over the cooking. We were treated like family and had delicious lemon cake to start, amazing wines and explored the estate and saw all of the pets! The food was delicious and the experience left many memories.
We cooked eggplant parmesan, meatballs, 3 different sauces, and my fav was the Rigatoni Bolognese
I must say this was one of the highlights of the trip and we left feeling so fun and so happy!!
Read MoreFor the past week I have been staying in the Southern Coast of Italy exploring and eating my way through all of the towns, Naples, Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Sorrento & Capri.
The pasta, pizza and fish are beyond amazing. The south is known for its white fish and local sweet wine and I was sure the indulge! I am also a huge pasta lover so I had pasta at every meal.
We ate at some of the most delicious spots
I don't usually have a sweet tooth but when I do I really go for it! One of my favorite desserts and treats is Dominique Ansel's famous Cronut. This treat is a delicate combination of a donut and croissant. This butte flaky crust stuffed with a filling is mouth watering and delicious. The flavor is changed monthly based on seasonality of the ingredients used - this month is Blackberry Buttermilk and it is a must have if you are around soho! Oh and they are made in limited quantities so you better go early or they will run out
Byblos
One of my favorite restaurants that we went to in Miami is Byblos. Located on Collins Avenue this Eastern Mediterranean restaurant represents a marriage of strong traditional and local ingredients. The vibrant menu served family style really had a perfect dish for everyone at the table. The fish we ordered was filleted table side and so light and fantastic. The crispy artichokes, octopus, fish, black truffle flat bread, and short ribs were our favorites. We loved the food so much that we had to make room for dessert and ordered honey donuts.
If you are in Miami Byblos needs to be added to your list of reservations!
The Versace mansion is an iconic mansion in Miami - The building itself is gorgeous and extremely detailed and then there is of course, the history behind it. The mansion is a functional hotel and restaurant serving delicious Italian food. The walls of the mansion feature stone mosaics with such intrequiate detail. Overall we love it there but it is definitely on the more expensive end and you are paying for the vibe, especially the drink that I ordered - a 24 karat margarita.
For my launch party food was very important! I planned a dinner party for 20 of my friends and I wanted to cater something that would be delicious and chic! I ordered sushi from one of my favorite local sushi spots Momoya and since I wanted more of a finger food dessert I went with Momofuku Milk Bar and some of my besties brought famous Levain cookies!
I ordered:
Matcha Box – A cool little matcha spot I found in LA. I ordered a matcha lemonade with mint and it was amazing and refreshing, the drink even came with a piece of heaven, a small chocolate cube. Safe to say I visited this Matcha shop more than once.
