In The Kitchen With FunSized Returns!

Giada De Laurentiis has her recipe for grilled chicken with apple-mango chutney in November's Glamour magazine, so I decided to try it out while changing it up a bit!

Here's the recipe from the Food Network's website, Glamour didn't have their version online.

First of all, I must say the dish was absolutely delicious! It wasn't too heavy or over-bearing with all the different flavors, it was absolutely perfect... just look!

Now, what I did different was...

- Instead of frozen apple juice concentrate, I used frozen cranberry juice concentrate.
- Instead of apricot preserves, I used orange marmalade.
- Instead of dry mustard, I used dijon mustard (which she specifies in the Glamour Mag recipe).
- No use of jalapeño chile pepper or hot sauce. (I don't like my meals too spicy!)

With these minor changes, it was still absolutely scrumptious.

Have you made any of Giada's other dishes recently? Which ones?

Everybody Needs to be Compensated Properly, Equitably, & Above Board

image from @evanrosskatz instagram Amanda Seyfried said it best “Everybody needs to be compensated for their work. That’s f*cking easy.” She said this in reference to the recent WGA strikes happening in Hollywood. However, I would like to take her quote and apply it to what I’ve noticed the issues are with how the entertainment industry is ran here in Florida. After working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years in New York City, I expected some things to be handled differently in Florida but not to the extent that I have witnessed. The biggest issue here is that people are, simply, not compensated for their work. Let’s start off with, how Florida does not see the value in models. Business owners believe that if they provide you with a free item from, let’s say their restaurant, so a cocktail, that’s enough compensation to use your likeness and image in perpetuity on all mediums and formats. This is so wrong. Modeling is a profession and it should be treated as su...

Fun New Fitness App!

Thanks to InStyle Magazine , I found out about this great new Fitness App called ' Teemo .' It's a free app you can get from iTunes that I recommend you get right this second! For someone like me, who needs discipline while working out, this app is perfect for you. You get an at-home trainer, a challenge, and a work-out all on your phone! What's better than that? ...Well I could name a few but let's focus on the app for right now! Teemo makes it fun for you to exercise! I've recently read multiple health articles that say the best kind of work outs are ones of short quick intervals that combine strength training, cardio and are bound to make you sweat! Teemo does all of those things and they make it a game too! Depending on which challenge you choose, after you complete about 5 exercises they reward you with an item related to the challenge you are on. The challenges vary from a 'Desert Dash' to 'Climb Everest.' Each challenge involves differen...
