The red carpet. It’s nothing you ever get used to, having been on both the receiving and the giving side of the gawking, it is a surreal experience. The cameras, the yelling, the well rehearsed poses. It lives in the intersection between weird and fabulous.
During Fashion Week I was a gawk-ER not a gawkEE, but a gawker for a good cause.
One of my absolute hands-down favorite events of Fashion Week is the Red Dress Event. I love it because despite the fact that the event is to bring awareness to a very serious topic, Heart Disease in Women, it is an event that really doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
Every year, celebs don red dresses designed by some of our first name favorites, Donna, Diane, Ralph, Oscar, Carolina, and walk down the runway strutting their stuff.
Check out my exclusive interviews with the likes of Heidi Klum, Regina King and Raven-Symoné.
And because Raven Symoné wanted a healthy Chipotle sauce option, and we are all about healthier food options. Here goes:
“That’s So Raven” Heart Healthy Chipotle Sauce
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
Article continues below...
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 cup yogurt (I LOVE Fage Total 0% Yogurt, totally fat free!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Put it all in the blender and blend it on high. Store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I put it on everything!!

“If you fry it; I’ll try it?!!!” What a cool line. Also, Regina King is an incredibly beautiful woman. I’ve had some computer problems lately but had to come back to this blog to find out who she was (am kind of actor/actress illiterate.)
This blog did help me, though, because I don’t watch TV a lot and when I’ve seen my (big) local hospital’s billboards on this, I haven’t known what it was about . That is, I’ve known it was heart health, but the video with the blog gave me much more of a sense of the passion, warmth, and scope of this event. Thank you again, EVETTE!!!!!

Raven’s Chipotle’ sauce sounds great! One spice I use a lot to get the smoke but control the heat level in my cooking is Smoked Paprika. Try it on roasted potatoes with Garlic and S & P!
