Praising Portobello!
On a mission to eat as healthy as possible without relinquishing flavor and taste, I’ve been scouting out guilt-free fare that is neither bland nor boring. Yes, there is a plethora of salad options to choose from, as well as fruit medleys, but what if I’m craving something with substance? Something meaty, something that will…

Splurging on Scallops!
Happy Sunday, Ono readers! We need to treat ourselves every now and then, and if it’s not with sweets, then it should be with scallops. These cute little critters are everything you could ever want and more. Bite-size, mild but sweet, velvety and dense … boy, are they worth every bite! Regarded as the only…

Feeding the Body and Soul With Eggs Benedict
Butter me up with decadence, because this week I’m celebrating America’s love affair with none other than eggs Benedict. Because seriously, Ono readers, what’s not to love about the classic, killer combination of an English muffin, paired with a carnivore’s meaty delicacies (yes, I consider bacon to be a delicacy), and poached eggs dripping with…

Paninis With Pizazz!
Sandwiches are the standard for an easy and filling lunch option, but this week, Ono readers, I’ve upped my expectations and a good old-fashioned sandwich just won’t do the trick this time.

Here’s a Blast of Unagi Energy
In this day and age, who doesn’t need that occasional boost of energy to make it through the day? I know I do. International coffee chains and mainstream energy drink companies are raking in the bucks and making a fortune off of us just because we need that additional jolt. Yet, tell me why we…

Irresistibly Italian Prosciutto!
Italy is beckoning me. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been back to my fatherland, but I think this year is the perfect time to make that much anticipated journey back to Southern Europe. What do I not love about Italia? The moment I set foot in Rome, I feel right at home…

Going Gaga for Guava
I’ve been trying to increase my fruit intake lately, but really, there’s only so many oranges, bananas, strawberries, melons, apples and grapes that I can take without having a craving for something more, something substantially filling. So, as I racked my brain for new and fruity ideas, I recalled a longtime favorite of mine that…

Keeping Fit With Salad
Happy New Year, Ono readers! I don’t know about you, but I feel as if 2013 is filled with possibility and opportunities for greatness. Now, I’m not one to make new year’s resolutions every year, but 2013 is different. This year, I have made a promise to myself that I will work hard to get…
