If you have wanted to experiment with healthy side dishes to balance out your Thanksgiving meal, this is a great year to get started!

We have found some great recipes for you to try to make in your Glenwood kitchen! Keep reading to find out more.

Vegan Creamed Spinach

Creamed spinach is one of my most favorite fall and winter side dishes! But, I know it is far from healthy, so this year I have found a great recipe from Bon Appétit that is vegan and I won’t feel as guilty going for that second serving! This recipe will serve approx. 4 people.

Ingredients:

• 11 4oz packages silken tofu, drained
• ¼ cup grapeseed, vegetable, or other neutral oil
• 8 scallions, thinly sliced
• 13″ piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
• 1 chile (such as serrano or Fresno), thinly sliced
• 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 4 bunches mature spinach (about 2 lb.), trimmed, torn into large pieces, pinch of Kosher salt

Directions:

Step 1:

Purée tofu in a blender until smooth and the consistency of heavy cream. Transfer to a small bowl.

Step 2:

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Cook scallions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add ginger, chile, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is softened and mixture is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Working in batches, add handfuls of spinach, letting it wilt slightly before adding more and stirring occasionally, until all the spinach is in the pan. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted and bright green, about 3 minutes. Uncover and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in tofu mixture and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt.

Quinoa Salad With Sweet Potato and Kale

A beautiful, richly colored salad that has a fall flavor spectrum is a perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving meal. This recipe from Cookie and Kate is as delicious as it is healthy.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (about ¾ pound total), peeled and diced into ½-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 ¾ cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups stemmed and finely chopped curly kale
• ½ cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds*
• ⅓ cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Pesto dressing (yields about 1 ½ cups, so you’ll have extra leftover)

• ½ cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves
• ¼ cup firmly packed fresh parsley leaves
• ½ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. To prepare the sweet potatoes, transfer them to the prepared baking sheet and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until tender and browning. Set the pan aside to cool.
3. Meanwhile, combine the rinsed quinoa and broth in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid, about 20 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool.
4. To make the vinaigrette, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until mostly smooth, but with small pieces of herbs still visible.
5. Transfer the chopped kale to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and then use your hands to “massage” the kale, grabbing big handfuls at a time and gently squeezing them in your fist until the kale is darker in color and more fragrant, about 15 seconds.
6. Add the sweet potatoes, quinoa, kale, sunflower seeds and sliced basil to the bowl. Drizzle with about ⅓ cup dressing and gently toss until all of the ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and mix in more dressing if desired.
7. Serve the salad at room temperature or cold. Leftovers will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.

I made this dish and loved it! I added some pomegranate and chickpeas because my husband loves them and served it inside a roasted squash!

Devilish Eggs

Deviled eggs are a great appetizer to put out for your family while you finish preparing your Thanksgiving meal! This deviled egg recipe by Ellie Krieger found on the Food Network has the same great flavor, but is in fact healthier!

Ingredients:

• 1 dozen eggs
• 2/3 cup silken tofu, drained
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
• 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions:

1. Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9 minutes. Remove the eggs from water and run under cold water for about 1 minute or until cool enough to touch. Peel eggs under cold running water.
2. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and discard 6 of them or save for another use. Set aside the whites.
3. Place the remaining yolks in a medium bowl and mash with the tofu, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, horseradish and chives. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Spoon the mixture into the corner of a plastic bag and snip off the end. Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with paprika.

Beet And Apple Salad

This recipe from Food & Wine by George Mendes blends fall flavor and color into a light, healthy salad perfect for your Thanksgiving table!

Ingredients

• 4 large beets (2 1/2 pounds) 
• 5 thyme sprigs 
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling) 
• Salt and freshly ground pepper 
• ¼ cup apple-cider vinegar 
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 
• 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish 
• ⅓ cup salted pistachios (chopped) 
• 1 green apple (thinly sliced) 

Directions

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 375°. In a baking dish, lightly drizzle the beets and thyme with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast until the beets are tender, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel the beets and cut them into 3/4-inch dice.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar with the mustard. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until emulsified. Add the horseradish and season with salt and pepper; toss with the beets and pistachios. Transfer the beets to a platter, top with the apple and serve.

Have a picnic lunch with co-workers. I hope that this curved grass surface will feel like an embrace and an expanse at the same time, and will reimagine the Plaza as a site of social infrastructure, like a town green – a place to gather, a common ground.”

Living in NYC, we all know how chaotic our lives are, especially now! Your apartment can be your sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of New York City. This January, make an effort to create the perfect space for you! There are some great tricks and tips to be able to achieve the ultimate zen ambience in your home! Read below to see what we suggest to ensure you come home to your Glenwood apartment and feel that you have a space that is calming and stress free.

Scent

Scent is very important for creating a relaxing environment. Specific fragrances such as lavender, vanilla, and sandalwood have all been proven to promote calming effects in your nervous system when inhaled. After a long day of work or kids, who doesn’t want to be greeted by a nice aroma! Place an aromatic diffuser wherever you unwind at home. A diffuser is a great way to avoid the hazards that come with using a candle—additionally, many candle brands have diffusers so if you have a scent you love, make sure to check if it comes as a diffuser too. You can also purchase essential oils and place a few drops in your humidifier, which will give your entire apartment or room a wonderful fragrance. You can even check out some places like Olfactory NYC, close to Glenwood’s downtown buildings, where you can customize your own scent to create calming fragrances that come in body wash and sprays.

Electronic Free Bedroom

Electronics have become an integral part of everyday life. But, when you are home it is nice to have one space that is designated for electronic free relaxation—that’s right, no tv, computer, or cell phone! Seems extreme, but it is worth a try! You might end up enjoying it. If you choose your bedroom to be this electronic free zone, you may find an extra perk!  While you will feel relaxed in any room you choose from not being constantly bombarded by texts, news updates, or television shows, if you implement this in your bedroom you likely will get a better nights rest! The blue light that emanates from your computer and phone screens makes it very difficult to fall asleep at night. Having your bedroom be a place of rest and calmness is sure to help unplugging from a busy work day.

Interior Decor Color Schemes

How you decorate your apartment is a very personal decision! Certain color schemes can promote a soothing, relaxing environment. Stick with neutrals, grey, blue, white, creams for the large areas such as your bedroom and living room to help achieve a tranquil space. Your couches, rugs, and curtains in neutral tones can all help promote a calm space. Your apartment doesn’t need to be all neutral tones though, be sure to add those fun pops of color for your accent pieces like a throw blanket, a coffee table book, pillow or vase! You can even switch up your accent colors by seasons! For summer bright colors like orange or turquoise are great while in winter maybe a black or emerald green!

Organization

Returning home, it is always nice to be met by a tidy apartment! But, we all know that is not an easy task. If you create your own organizational system for your home, it is a lot easier to keep everything in order. Here are some of our tips for creating at home ease with organizing! In your closet or living room, using storage boxes that can come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and patterns is a great way to start making sure your shelves and closet spaces are tidy! You can tuck away your books, kids toys, and items like gloves or hats! The Container Store located on Lexington Avenue between 58^th and 59^th and Rainbow located at 1^st Avenue between 75^th and 76^th Street, which is very convenient for many of the Upper East Side Glenwood buildings like The Pavilion, The Somerset, The Lucerne,  and The Stratford, are great places to find organizational items for your home! For the kitchen, using clear containers for snacks, cereal, sugar, baking powder and more is a great way to see what you have and what you need to restock! You can buy fun labels to personalize them too.

The post Secrets to A Serene Apartment appeared first on NYC Luxury Apartments for Rent | Glenwood Management.

Moving into a new apartment in NYC, you want your space to feel like your home. A great way to do this is to put up some art! Art is an easy way to personalize your own space and bringing character to your Glenwood apartment. While some of us may know what type of art we are drawn to immediately, other may find the process a bit daunting. Whether you are an art aficionado or novice, attending The Armory Art Show this March is a great way to gain some inspiration!

Attend The Armory Show

The Armory Show is taking place March 5^th-8^th, from noon to early evening, at Piers 90 and 94, which are at 711 12^th Avenue. The show usually is hosted at Pier 92 and 94, but due to some structural damage of Pier 92, the works that would have been shown at Pier 92 are being relocated to Pier 90.   This is convenient for Glenwood residents living at Emerald Green, Crystal Green, The Sage, The Encore, Hawthorn Park, The Regent and The Grand Tier, and is definitely still worth the subway or cab ride from uptown or downtown Glenwood buildings. The Armory Show exhibits some of the most critical artworks from the 20^th and 21^st centuries. This year is the 26^thAnniversary of the event, so it is sure to be extra special!  Click here to find out some more logistics for the show. This art show was founded by four New York based gallerists Colin de Land, Pat Hearn, Matthew Marks, and Paul Morris, who held their first fair at The Gramercy Park Hotel in 1994. Notable artists like Tracey Emit participated in the very early years of the fair while it still took place at The Gramercy.

At this point in time, the art fair was called The Gramercy International Art Fair. You may be wondering how the name of this world known event became The Armory Show. Well, due to the popularity and size of the show, it needed to relocate to encompass all of the galleries and artists who wanted to display their work. So, in 1999, the fair moved to The 69^thRegiment Armory in NYC to be able to display a large amount of works. With the art fair’s consistently growing popularity, it eventually had to move to the NYC Piers, where it is today and kept its name of The Armory Show.

Make A Day Out Of The Armory Show

Do:

If you are looking to make a day out of this art fair, you are in luck! There are great things to do and eat close to the Pier!  If you are looking for another activity to tag onto the art fair, The Intrepid is close by. The Intrepid Air and Space Museum is located at Pier 86 on West 46^th Street. This unique museum is aboard a US aircraft carrier, The USS Intrepid. There are numerous, interactive exhibits that are fun for all ages! And, who doesn’t want to experience what being on a real aircraft carrier is like!

Another fun activity is Lucky Strikes, the bowling alley. It is also close by located at 624 West 42^nd Street. The bowling lanes fill up, so make sure to reserve a lane ahead of time. Be sure to note that the bowling alley is 21 and over at night.

Eat:

If you are visiting the art fair during the day and are looking for a coffee shop to grab a coffee and bite before or after walking around, visit Fika located at 824 10^th Avenue. Not only does Fika have great coffee, but it has the best chocolate! A wonderful Swedish coffee and chocolate shop, it is sure to make your day that much sweeter!

If you are looking to have a nice dinner after visiting the Armory Show, there are great restaurants close by! Marea is a high end Italian restaurant located at 240 Central Park South. It is sure to have a lively crowd filled with many people from the Art Fair—you will definitely have a fabulous time! Another great dinner spot nearby is Taboon, located at 773 10^th Avenue. It is a great Mediterranean restaurant with a fun ambience.

Find Inspiration For Your Apartment:

Now that you have visited one of New York City’s most popular art fairs, you may have some inspiration ready to fill your Glenwood apartment walls with art! Paying attention to colors, patterns, and types of art that spoke to you, you can begin your artwork search. Was it bright reds or cool blues that you liked most? Perhaps you found a specific artist that really spoke to you? Instead of splurging for the astronomically priced piece, you can sometimes find great posters online. Now, yes, some posters can look rather bleak on a wall.  But, if you take it to your neighborhood framer, you can turn that poster into something really special! Additionally, be sure to check out The Affordable Art Fair taking place March 26th-29th at the Metropolitan Pavilion that showcases contemporary art starting at $100.
