Pizzarte – Midtown Manhattan

One of my favorite restaurants in the city for sure. Every time my mom comes into town, we have to go here. She loves this place just as much as me, if not MORE. From their apps, to their pastas, to of course, their pizzas, you really can’t go wrong with anything on their menu… and trust me, I’ve about had it all.

A Look into my Newly-Adopted Sushi Addiction

Sushi is healthy, OK. I reason with myself as I hesitantly spend more of my already tight budget on sushi for the 3rd time this week. Honestly, with no regrets (other than the faint whine that I hear coming from my bank account).

Within the past year my life has gone from “Yeah, I like California rolls” to “SUSHI? PLEASE. NIGIRI? MY FAV. ESCOLAR WALU, ALBACORE, YELLOWTAIL HAMACHI, SAKE SALMON, UNAGI” (which is squid and is so mf good). And unfortunately yes, I did just copy and paste my last Uber Eats receipt.

The reason being is still unknown to me. Have my tastebuds matured and this is what they beg for? They beg for rice and uncooked fish? YES. YES THEY SURPRISINGLY DO.

Sushi is low in calories and full of healthy omega-3 fatty. It can also be a great (and delicious) way to manage your weight. PLUS DID I MENTION THAT ITS FREAKIN DELICIOUS.

Here are a few of my fav sushi pics. I hope you ENJOY as much as I did!

My Current Healthy Food Fav

Eating healthy isn’t always the easiest. Often the preparation can be time consuming and require multiple fresh ingredients. FALSE, not with an easy and simple sweet potato.

Sweet Potatoes are a great source of fiber, have cancer treating properties, rich in vitamins and are tasty as hell. EAT THE SKIN PEOPLE. The skin is full of nutrients that will keep you healthy and happy… also its also tasty as hell.

There are so many different ways that you can prepare this tasty treat. I bake mine in the oven for about an hour at 425 degrees. AN HOUR, YOU SAY? Yes! And that may sound like a long time, but you just pop it in the oven and then get ready for the day/ shower/ or do whatever miscellaneous activity! Then boom ready.

If I need the tater to cook faster, I will cook it on the stove. This way is actually more challenging for me because I have to be physically present while it cooks.

Both ways are DELISH.

Here are some of my most recent sweet potato creations.
