UPDATED JANUARY 2nd, 2019 It's been a year since I last updated this post and I am happy to report that I indeed shed those extra 10 lbs, just as I had hoped I would and kept them off all year, no problem. It wasn't hard because there was no deprivation involved, no strict diet to go on (and therefore inevitably off!), nope, it was just my  good old cuisinicity way of ... Read More »

As I am reflecting back on this past year and looking toward 2016, my thoughts keep coming back to Carly Simon's song "These are the good old days..." It may sound corny and perhaps even trite but I take this message quite literally. Twenty years from now, we will be reminiscing of these times, these days we are living now and I want to live them fully cognizant of how ... Read More »

So first of all: a BIG THANK YOU to all of you, my friends! Since then I started my fitness challenge at my local gym and.....whooooohhoo am I having fun!! I feel rejuvenated ... Read More »

UPDATED January 30 2020 It's  Super Bowl party time! I  personally love this event and...I don't even understand football (HAHA I am so French!!). It's such a fun gathering with friends and, believe me,  keeping it nutritious is really easy!

Brrrr....winter has started, and continuing where I left off last week on "uncomplicating" your menu, soups come to mind! Soups can satisfy so many aspects of what makes good food so good and simple, and when made right, they illustrate beautifully what Cuisinicity is all about. So this week, I invite you to include soups in your menu. The beautiful thing about soups is ... Read More »

UPDATED February 11, 2018 It's that time again, and I always love to bring back my favorite tried and true romantic dark chocolate and berries recipes for this special time!  But you know me, I am constantly creating new ones, so I have updated my Valentine's day post with 2 vegan dessert recipes that are just perfect for the occasion: dark, decadent and oh so ...

UPDATED March 14, 2017 in honor of the Nor'easter blizzard we are having today! UPDATED again (one of my very favorite posts!)

UPDATED January 19, 2017: I'll be honest, I decided to re-post this blog from last year verbatim, because I don't have time to write a brand new one as I am about to go back to France to visit my Mom and won't have access to my computer. I just didn't want you to wonder why I "disappeared"!  Everything I said last year holds true so if you have the time,  I think this ... Read More »
