The creative mind behind the ultimate New York shoe and handbag brand, Loeffler Randall, is not only a stellar designer, but a stellar mom, too! We could probably list 100 reasons why we love her- but here's our top 5 for now: 1. She's a Friday Night Lights (and embroidery) fan 2. Her fascination with cacti is equal to our own 3.

This is a super easy and super filling meal idea. The classic cheese quesadilla stands great on its own accompanied by a good salsa or guacamole, but add some grilled shrimps and you've really got a balanced dinner together. It's got a lot of creamy components, so we recommend serving with an arugula and endive salad to add more colour, texture, and of course nutrients. For those who like things spicy, thinly slice some red or green chilies to add in alongside the shrimp and cheese. As always, this is a dish easily tweaked to suit any taste preference.  Quick...
