Alright, so this sandwich is horribly unhealthy. I was going to rock the cucumber and chivey cream cheese sandwich, but when I pulled out the cucumber in my fridge..it was growing! So I improvised. With bacon.
This sandwich would be really good for breakfast. I think it would work better on a bagel, even.

bread/bagel
cream cheese
bacon

During one of my teenage birthdays, my mom helped me throw a tea party for my friends. My friends and I got all dolled up in summery dresses and funny hats, and it was a blast!
In planning, we tried to make it as fancy as possible, with all of the little candies and pastries and [...]

After being spoiled by all of the quirky, well-priced groceries at Trader Joe’s for the past 3 years or so, I am seriously hurting without it. I know it’s only a grocery store, but there were a lot of things that I purchased regularly there that I can’t get at the “normal” grocery stores. I [...]

As a grad student, I don’t have a ton of money for eating out all the time. (And, honestly, I can’t even figure out how I managed that as an undergrad. How I miss my more-than-weekly Chipotle trips!) Most of the time, I come home to eat. Living close enough so that I can do [...]

Today I got really ballsy and decided to make a real pumpkin pie out of real pumpkin that I picked a couple weeks ago. Now you can too!
Start out with a pie pumpkin or two. Pie pumpkins are smaller than your average carving pumpkins. Here’s some scale:

I really wanted to make some peanut butter cookies last night. You know when there’s something you just have to have? Yeah. Well, I wasn’t completely impressed with the last PB cookie recipe I tried. I mean, they weren’t bad, but they just weren’t amazing. I stumbled upon this recipe [...]

I guess the interview yesterday went pretty well because..I got the job!! I couldn’t be more pleased. (That’s a lie; it’s a 40 minute drive each way, but it’s not a huge deal.) I’m really excited about the position, and I hope to start this week or next. The best part is [...]

Last night I had friends over for dinner, giving me the perfect opportunity to try out more lovely kitchen-themed Christmas gifts! (Seriously, I was spoiled this year..so now I’m going to pay it forward and spoil everyone I know with food.)
After some careful deliberation, I settled upon pesto pasta with chicken. And I made my [...]
