Since I’ve been getting cozy with my cookies, I felt like a healthy lunch was in order.

Mac and Cheese Redux
I’ve been planted at my desk studying for finals and finishing up projects for school. Yesterday, I had an exam at 2pm, but wanted to make sure I had a good lunch because that’s one less thing to worry about during the final! I had a bad experience with stomach grumblings at the SAT (so…
Knife Skills
I don’t claim to be a knife expert, but I do know when I’m hungry, I want things to be chopped and diced as fast as possible. I made chicken marsala for dinner the other night, and needed to dice up a shallot for the recipe. If you’re looking to cut down on prep time,…

On Christmas morning, my sister and I did our traditional present sort, in which we go up to the presents “under” our foot-high plastic christmas tree and distribute them to ourselves and parents. We call out the respective name and hand it to them, then we each open a present, going…
Animal Cracker Deliciousness
Today, I was inspired. No, it wasn’t Obama. And no, it wasn’t the onset of spring and the plethora of baby geese I’ve seen waddling all over town. Wild Harvest Organic Animal Crackers have driven me to start a blog in order to tell you how delicious they are. I should know. I just inhaled…
