I am nooo food blogger, obviously.  There are plenty of amazing ones out there, and cooking has never been much of a passion of mine.  Plus, do you know who my sister is?! Ms. Culinary School herself, Gabby?  Yeah, so there’s really been no need for me to venture into her domain.  I know my role.

Until tonight.  Tonight I borrowed her totes adorable Anthropologie apron (because if I’m going to cook, I’m gonna look cute), put my blackberry down and made a super healthy, and yummy fritatta loaded with veggies for dinner. All by myself.  My blog is just me…fashion, men, love, my pursuit of happiness and also, being healthy, which has become a huge part of my life as of late.  I know how to drop weight fast, and subsequently feel like shit in the process.  I could exist on coffee and a few almonds, but I’m choosing not to do it that way this time.  I’m also working out so hard that my body needs food-but the right kinds.  I’m so inspired/supported by blogs like 20somethingcupcakes, (blog/girl crush alert!) and of course everyone at In It To Gym It.

All the working out and eating right is definitely having physical affects, but I’m sleeping better, and you guys know I have the worst insomnia.  My anxiety is decreasing rapidly.  I have more energy during the day and a sense of control where I didn’t have it before.  So while I might go on and on about getting bikini ready, and the photoshoot I have next week, and yay my jeans are baggy-at the end of the day, the mental and emotional reasons are the ones that keep me going.

Bethenny Frankel’s “Naturally Thin” Easy Impressive Frittata (The recipe shown is for 1 person-I was feeding 3, so I kept the egg to yolk ratio and added about 5 cups of veggies. The more the merrier!)
Cooking spray
1 cup vegetables (onions, spinach, zucchini, broccoli, or tomatoes)
1 egg yolk and 3 to 4 egg whites
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon crumbled feta or grated Parmesan
Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a small nonstick pan with an ovenproof handle with cooking spray.
Over medium heat, sauté the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and egg whites with a little salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and move it around with a spatula until slightly solidified.
Transfer the pan to the oven.
Bake until the frittata is almost firm to the touch (approximately 15 to 20 minutes). Sprinkle with the cheese and bake until firm.
Serve immediately.

Don’t judge my pictures, ya’ll. Tasted way better than it looked, and it was Gabby approved. I’m just stoked I pushed myself to do something different, because chicken breast and broccoli every night was making me incredibly stab stab stabby. Don’t like eggs? Try something else!

Hey dolls!

Hey friends…

D on REAL NEW YORKERS!!! (Yay! I learned so much. It’s not all like SATC? And I guess I need a metro card!) Hey, everyone! First of all, I want to thank Liz for giving me the opportunity to do a guest post on It’s Unbeweavable! I’m a huge fan of her blog, and am excited about her future move to New York, my home sweet home for over ten years now… Some of you may already call New York home, many of you have visited, and most of you have seen pop culture depictions of New York City. For my guest post, I thought I would highlight ten misconceptions about the city and its fabulous residents. Life in New York for me is definitely NOT like a Woody Allen movie, nor an episode of Sex and the City or Real Housewives of New York! And thank goodness, too…

(4) It may be expensive to live here, but there are plenty of great free and inexpensive ways to keep yourself occupied here, especially for you foodies! I do enjoy a Michelin starred fancy meal now and then, but cheap, good eats are what really excite me about living here. Where else can you find great Thai, French, Pakistani, Chinese and Italian on one city block? There’s also nothing like a hot slice of New York pizza– sorry, Chicago! (I picked this image of G.P-because I have great memories there…lol…sorry if this is not what you meant D! )

(5) Real New Yorkers complain… a lot but it’s just their way of telling you they care. I first noticed this when I moved here years ago– my friends in New York would complain about every little thing under the sun, from the weather, the rising cost of housing, the temperature of food to their love lives. Now at dinner parties, I might complain about a lot of things related to New York, but really, it’s my coded way of saying I wouldn’t live anywhere else…(6) Despite working hard and playing hard in New York, we find a lot of time for trashy TV, even shows that revolve around fictional depictions of New York, such as Gossip Girl, NYC Prep and Real Housewives of New York. Missed that last episode of American Idol or Dancing with the Stars? You can expect a New Yorker to keep you up to date on the latest and greatest. We watched it on DVR, just like you.

(7) For a city obsessed with great restaurants and convenient delivery services, a lot of New Yorkers spend time in their tiny kitchens cooking up a storm. This place is foodie paradise, and even though I don’t personally enjoy cooking, the Mr. loves expressing himself through food. And I’m happy to experience the fruits of his labor! Yum.

(8) New Yorkers may work hard, but of course, we play hard too. And often, the best parties take place during the work week, and not on weekends. I don’t party as hard as I did when I was younger, but I love discovering a new bar or club during the week. It’s kind of a fun surprise to find yourself dancing on a banquette on a random Monday night. Sometimes you find yourself in situations where you’re out on a “school night,” and wondering who these people are and what they are doing out so late on a school night. New York is full of people with interesting schedules. (9) New Yorkers secretly LOVE chain stores. Yes, you may be moving to the city from a suburb where stores like Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond rule strip malls. But, since stores like that have invaded the city, people have been wondering how they lived without them in the first place. Sometimes I like going to a store like Bed Bath and Beyond to wander the aisles when I feel homesick about my Southern California suburban life. I think a lot of people must feel the same way, as you can glimpse people with blissed out expressions on their faces at these stores.
