I have to admit I love watching reality tv. Why, I have no idea. It’s not like I don’t have enough drama going on in my own life that I feel the need to watch someone else with 10 times the issues I do. I guess in a way it makes you feel better about your horrible day after you watch their issues. I’m hooked on So You Think You Can Dance, Real Housewives of NY and Orange County, Big Brother, American Idol, Top Chef, Hell’s Kitchen….you name them there’s a chance I might watch it. Anyway, Bethenny Frankel I originally saw on Martha Stewart’s version of Donald Trumps show where she was a contestant. Now she’s a star on Real Housewives of NY and promotes her new book and line of Skinny Girl products. I decided to give a couple of her recipes a try so first up is an easy side dish to eat with our not so skinny steak for Sunday Steak Night at our house. 🙂
Our thoughts on it was that it was ok, but as usual we had to add more seasoning to kick it up to be considered “spicy”.
