A couple of years ago we were celebrating my hippest friend’s graduation from the Rhode Island School of Design, and visited a local vegetarian restaurant The Garden Grille. When perusing the Menu, her veg-skeptical father shouted “Beet Latkes!?!” and so I ordered them and forced him to try. Man, were they good. I love a […]

Black Bean Soup
Four cans o’ beans. That seems like a lot of beans, doesn’t it? Well, guess what? That’s only going to be about $4. I even found 6 ounce cans of black beans for 78 cents each- whadda deal! I know I post a lot of soups on here, but I love soup so I don’t care! […]
Simple Roasted Vegetables
Look at this exotic beet. I’m gonna tell you a secret. I’m gonna tell you how to make yourself look like a culinary school graduate by blindly grabbing farmer’s market produce and throwing it in the oven for a ‘lil bit. People will ooh and ahh and you will beam. Dead serious. I impress […]
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Come on. I know you love this soup. I know that you tense up when you see it on the menu, or in a beauteous, hot cauldron in a cafeteria, or dining hall (such as mine for the two years I was a dining-hall-goer). It’s so good, but is basically, really, just cheese-drenched broccoli, and […]
Big Moves, Small Budgets
I moved across the country with a man who wears a Flamingo shirt. The buffalo, however, stayed right where he was in South Dakota. The feeling of freedom is hard to describe. Right now I am young and the world is my oyster. Once I felt that college diploma in my hand, I knew there […]
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars
Probably the best part of being a nutrition major is that a required course is a lab in which you play with food. Sometimes it is boring, such as concocting starch pastes and racing them down a plastic sheet to see which was most viscous. Or when we cooked broccoli for three hours…. Like, what? Mostly […]
Oaxaca, Mexico
Hello there. I’d like to show you some pictures of a place I went a while ago. I’m not going to talk much. These pictures speak for themselves. If this meaty picture doesn’t peak your interest, then I’m not really sure what will. It’s Oaxaca Mexico, a place I have since dubbed “delicious food capital […]
Food for Thought
Everyone is taking pictures of their food these days. It seems to me that the human pre-meal ritual has switched over from saying grace and praising god, to hashtagging, gramming and showing the world how beautiful our meals can be. Snap, filter and post, so that the world will know of your delicious chow. I […]
Banana Blue Muffins
Oh Hello. I know it has been a while. Ok, ok, it has been over a year since I have posted. Guess what? If you don’t know me, I’ll just tell you that I am a consistently inconsistent person. Always have been, always will be. A lot has happened since I last wrote, including but […]
African Peanut Stew
I was babysitting my favorite little friend Annie and caught scent of something delectable-smelling coming out of her mother’s kitchen. Upon investigating, I found the dish she was preparing contained a few of my favorite things: chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and peanut butter. What a combination! I had the recipe copied and vowed to make it the very […]
