Let's go behind the scenes, shall we?
For HTLA, I had a lot of cooking to do! First up HH's Baked Onion Rings (from The Happy Herbivore Cookbook).
Just before they go in the oven!
200+ onion rings for dinner! Seriously--don't they look like the unhealthy kind? They're baked (totally fat-free) and made with wholesome ingredients! They were a huge hit. I was very proud.

My last day in NYC involved prepping for our move --- and finding a whole new meaning to the word "minimalist" (more on that later)
