Anel works at an incredible gym on the Upper East Side called Inform Fitness Their theory is that 20 minutes of high-intensity lifting each week is all you need in order to tone and build strength. I've been working out there for about 2 months and already look a lot more toned in my arms, legs, back, and abs.
After discovering this recipe, it became an instant classic in my home. Whenever we want a light dinner, this 101 Cookbooks Otsu dish is my number one go-to.

In 2nd grade, my teacher, Mrs. Metcalf, assigned us a project called "Children as Teachers" where my classmates and I each got 20 minutes to teach about the topic of our choice. Being the color-lover that I am, of course I chose to teach my fellow 7 year old friends all about rainbows!
This weekend one of my best friends from college came to visit New York. She and her husband own a beautiful home in Maine, so I was a little nervous about her reaction to the junior one-bedroom 3rd floor wonder that I share with Anel. She loved the apartment, we had a great time, and we showed her how to live it up, Manhattan-style.
