I’ve been feeling my age lately. And I think it’s because I’ve been reminiscing about things that happened 4 or 5 years ago…and feeling like a full-fledged adult in those memories. Somehow, my brain can’t figure out if those memories occurred last month or a million years ago. It’s disorienting, to say the least, and… Read More Homemade Kimchi
Brownies never get old. I like them gooey, fresh and warm from the oven…and preferably with a healthy dollop of ice cream melting on top. Brownies were the first thing I craved when I cut out gluten, dairy, and soy this fall. Thankfully, they are also one of the most adaptable of the delicious desserts, and… Read More Sweet Potato Brownies
Sadly, as I write this post I am experiencing some significant stomach pain. Tragically, I believe it is because I consumed a perfectly innocent – looking sandwich yesterday for lunch. This is tragic because it is only the most recent (and most painful) evidence that gluten and I might not get along so well –… Read More Lemon Blueberry Fig Muffins
I love making sangria, but I only ever make it for parties – especially summer parties. I don’t have a logical reason for this, but it has become enough of a trend that whenever I’m having people over in the summer I have the urge to make a sangria. This summer I have been completely obsessed… Read More Peach Basil Sangria
In case you hadn’t noticed, classic french macaroons have been blowing up the food blogosphere for the past year. I have been completely entranced. Over this past year, I have not had as much time – or equipment – for culinary experimentation as I had previously been accustomed to. Because of this, I have instead… Read More French Macarons with Dark Chocolate Espresso Ganache
Hello everyone! I actually have been cooking a lot recently, I just haven’t had internet to update this blog! I graduated just a few weeks ago and the internet company decided to turn off our internet one month before we moved out. Thankfully, I was done with exams by then… I’ll keep this short and… Read More Life Goes On
Lately I’ve been running in the mornings, and when I get back I’m always famished. I always want something substantial and savory, and usually that means eggs. Usually, I’m too hungry to be imaginative, so I end up hurriedly frying the eggs and topping it with a generous slice of goat cheese before eating them… Read More The Ultimate Breakfast Eggs
Since my last post, I have started my final semester of college. Come May, I will be a university graduate and will hold two bachelor’s degrees! How crazy is that? Knowing that this is my last semester has made me re-evaluate my life a bit, not only in terms of career choices but also in… Read More Quinoa with Steamed Kale and Sweet Potato Fries
This might be the best cake I have ever made. It’s light and airy, but dense at the same time. It’s sweet and gooey but also substantial and somehow reminiscent of cornbread, in a really good way. I am officially in love with this cake and have made it my official default easy-wow-factor cake. I… Read More Apple Skillet Cake
Today’s recipe is a throwback to last year: the year I discovered The Perfect Roommate. This roommate and I cooked together, studied together, and most importantly laughed together-more times than I can count. I was sad to lose this roommate last semester, but it turns out she’s returning to graduate school and we can therefore… Read More Cream Cheese Quesadillas
