Founder NY Foodgasm: a blog that combines from my passion for nutrition, health and the enjoyment food. I have loved food all my life, leaving me obese since a child. I had to transform myself and my eating habits. So I got in my kitchen and I got creative!

I also promote the blog to all social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
