My friend Arielle is a ridiculous cook. She takes recipes that everyone knows and makes them healthy. Normally when people do this, it comes out tasting nothing like the original but she has a certain somethin' somethin' that makes her dishes incredibly good without tasting overly healthy. But you feel great after you eat them!
She made this un-fried vegetable quinoa recipe at a dinner party I went to at her house a few months ago and I've been thinking about it ever since.
Obviously we all wish we had a gigantic, beautifully color coded closet like Bethenny Frankel's in the image above and here. But the rest of the universe isn't quite so lucky. For example, I live in Manhattan which means that I have to share one closet in the bedroom with my husband. I have one half and he has the other.
The arrival of spring has done wonders for all of us New Yorkers. Everyone seems a lot less bitter and sometimes we even smile at each other on the street (gasp!).
Today is my husband's birthday. He told me "not to make a big deal of it" but since when do I ever listen to him? (Kidding! But he's amazing and I have to honor him on his birthday in some way!).
I want to share a story about Anel (his name which is pronounced like Chanel).
