Eggstra Easy

I’ve never been a huge egg fan. Just like hot dogs, I’d be fine with having one once a year. That all changed when I lived alone this past winter. I’ll take ease over taste any day – you’re probably lying if you say you wouldn’t. As I’ve mentioned, I’m pretty new to this cooking thing. […]

Short and Sweet (Potato)

I’m always looking for quick, easy lunches that require few ingredients. Turkey sandwiches tend to get tiring after the 6000th consecutive day. Sweet potatoes are usually my go-to side with any dinner because they’re so easy, pretty healthy, and very delicious. I microwave them (whatever, judge me) because I am not into a veggie that […]

Donut Worry, They’re Healthy!

Happy National Donut Day! As much as I hate to admit this, the first thing I do when I wake up is check social media. First Instagram, then Twitter, and finally, as my attention span wanes, a quick Facebook scan. I guess it’s our generation’s version of reading the paper. Before I knew it, I […]

#avotoast

Over the past several months, my Instagram feed has been bombarded with tons of artsy, edited photos of a certain food item.

Not even pastel-colored macarons arranged strategically on the plate […]

I’ve been using the Carnation Instant Breakfast (No Sugar Added) packets and […]

Don’t Kale My Vibe

If you’ve seen my Instagram lately, you probably noticed a picture of a brownie with green flecks inside. Maybe I’m too innocent for my own good, because it took me a while to process some of the comments I received, like “are you sure that’s kale??” I promise they were NOT weed brownies. But next […]

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa

I’m a Patriots fan. I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan. But I am not a football fan. Don’t be mistaken – I’m not a bandwagon fan. Being a bandwagon fan would require me to at least watch when my teams are doing well. Hey, I love the whole experience of going to games – the tailgating, the camaraderie, the spirit, […]

Guilt-Free Goodies

Moving back home to the suburbs of Massachusetts has given me quite a bit of free time. In less than seven months I’ve gone from a full-time college student and sorority sister to a part-time worker with zero social life. Sure, you’re probably thinking I could spend that time searching for a full-time job…but that’s a discussion […]
