The second half of our week-long detox was just as fun and delicious as the first half. I found that I was often a bit hungrier in the morning (pre-breakfast) but attributed that to the lack of random nighttime snacking, which I tend to do. I also felt that I started sleeping better, but can't say if it had anything to do with my eats. Enough talk, on to the food!One of my favorite parts of the week was experimenting with different breakfast foods--...

Horizons
Posted on 17:36 by balbindra nath

With our detox heading into the weekend, A & I knew we were going to have to make some careful choices. Our weekend dining adventures usually take us furthest off the path of healthy eating- there's just so much scrumptious food calling our names! While we typically embrace the indulgences, this weekend we decided to try out the popular vegan restaurant Horizons, just off South Street. While vegan food should never automatically be designated...

Posted on 17:31 by balbindra nath

We're just three days in to our week-long "spring cleaning detox" which J so nicely described in her pre-detox post.

Hooray, Spring is here! Sunshine and some warm(er) temps have us quite happy. Along with more daylight and trees coming back to life, lots of people tend to do some major "spring cleaning", uncluttering and prepping for a return from hibernation. Although A & I do have a major closet clean-out planned for next weekend, we also decided to do a week-long diet detox. Well, I shouldn't use the word "diet"- we're not trying to lose weight. However,...

Sang Kee Peking Duck House
Posted on 06:26 by balbindra nath
While A and I certainly enjoy our peaceful "twin dates" that revolve around consuming food, sharing dishes, and relaxing after a long week of work, we also appreciate the merits of a more social gathering of friends. We've hosted family dinners, partaken in potluck brunches, and gotten large groups together for dim sum. When I recently mentioned that I'd never had Peking duck here in Philly, a knowledgeable friend quickly rallied a group of eight-...
