The Snack: Sliced apples dusted with cinnamon
The Story: Recently Laurel was offered plate of tart, cinnamon dusted apples while getting a hair cut at Fekkai in Soho. It reminded her of when we used to watch our grandmother make apple pie. We would wait for the moment when she would hand us one of the sugar-covered apple slices meant for the pie's filling.
The Mix: Steel-cut oats with banana, hemp seeds, and dried blueberries and cranberries
The Story: Most of us East Coasters need a boost right about now, so I'm topping today's oats with hemp seeds. These tiny superfoods look like sesame seeds, have a nutty taste, and are packed with protein.
After eating peanut butter and rice cakes for a few days in the aftermath of Sandy, I was feeling famished, stressed and lacking energy.
