I love peanut butter, so when I saw this recipe for peanut butter-based brownies on 12 Tomatoes, I got really excited. What’s even better, I had time to make them before a football party at a friend’s place, in Sunday. I had all the ingredients I needed, too, except for the peanut butter chips. Worried

Sorry about the late post, all! I hope everyone had a great Labor Day, and I would just like to point you guys in the direction of RIT Behind the Bricks. I do writing and photography for them, and my boss was kind enough to let me do a joint post, this week, between BTB

Tonight, the boyfriend is making dinner (well, with a constant narrative from yours truly on what to do). We decided to make stuffed peppers, because I hadn’t had them in a while and I had never tried to make them myself, so I figured, why not? How hard can it be?You’d think I would have

Whether it’s Chinese, Thai, Japanese, or Indian, leftover takeout rice is almost inevitable. Half of the time, I’ll bet you don’t even get around to eating it. Well, waste no more! While this might not be my mom’s recipe (or, who knows, maybe it is), it sure is a good one. For what?Leftover night rice

Yesterday, for one of my friend’s 21st birthday celebrations, a group of us went on a wine tour around Cayuga Lake. We ended up going to six wineries (well, five and a cider mill), which was about three more than was probably healthy for me, but we had a great time and tried lots of

I am broken. :c I was at a trampoline park with my cousin the other day, and I missed the trampoline and came down on the little divider beam instead and wrenched my ankle with a loud crack. SO… Now I’m on crutches. Yaaay. As a result, I’ve spent a lot of time lying on

Yesterday, when I biked to my Poppa’s house, I noticed a little produce stand in front of a house around the block from my apartment. Their sign read “SQUASH, 60¢,” and I kid you not, these squash were all about the length of my forearm and about the same circumference as both of my fists
