| It may be chilly out there but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying cold desserts, especially if you have a fire to curl up in front of. When it comes to something icy, it's hard to beat a bowl of fresh sorbet. Not to be confused with ice cream, sorbets are made without using any dairy, making it a low-fat dessert alternative. Plus, skipping the dairy and whipping process that ice cream needs helps make sorbet super dense and flavorful. |

| There are plenty of reasons to get excited over a new year but for me, there's nothing better than a whole slew of brand new movies that I cannot wait to see. I look forward to disappearing within a good flick about as much as some look forward to taking their new Bugatti Veyron for a test drive on a desert road. From the Sundance Film Festival's premiers to the many award shows, the beginning of every new year is filled with anticipation. Without further ado, here are the titles (in no particular order) that I'm having a hard time waiting for. |

| Last summer, while visiting a popular juice bar in NYC, I noticed a selection of cold-pressed juices. Fairly up-to-date with juicing and raw food trends, the term ‘cold-pressed’ was something new to me. Believing it to mean either a simple, but hyped-up city fad, like moving the juicing station to the walk-in refrigerator, or requiring a ridiculously expensive piece of machinery, I chalked it up to an only-in-NY moment. |

| There have been so many reasons to throw a party lately, from award season and festivals to the upcoming Super Bowl, which means that you've probably been sprucing up your list of go-to appetizers and snacks. One of the best ways to keep a group happy is to have chips and guacamole in the room but instead of buying premade guacamole that never tastes fresh, try making celebrity chef George Duran's recipe for the perfect guacamole! What makes it perfect? It has a satisfying crunch to it that comes from a fresh mixture of diced radishes and chives. |
