Outstanding Taqueria

| August 24, 2010

New York City is known for outstanding restaurants and every type of ethnic cuisine imaginable. One type of eating we absolutely fall short on is Mexican.

As we’re approaching 2010 and the end of a decade, change is the buzzword on everyone’s lips. What resolutions will you be making? My suggestion….see “Fresh The Movie.” I saw this movie a few months ago and it moved me so that I (a healthy eater) will never look at food and farming the same […]

Good For Your Belly And The Environment
