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

Here I am, sitting in the school library between my first two classes of the day, desperately trying to scrape together words for a blog post. I was in Albany, NY, this weekend, attending a bridal shower for my cousin-to-be, so even though I brought a computer, I was too caught up in the busyness

So I seem to be on a slightly alcoholic tangent lately, what with the wine tour and the whiskey bacon, but it’s all good.Today, though, we’re taking a cooler route. I’m talking about something you can relax by the poolside and enjoy. I’ve always wanted to try a wine slushie, and personally, I love peaches.

Ask just about any man. What are two of the best “guilty” (yeah right) pleasures of the food world, and they’ll likely tell you booze and bacon.This recipe was originally for beer candied bacon, but whiskey works well, too. Especially when that whiskey is Jim Beam maple whiskey. The end result is a crunchy piece

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!

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

A few weeks ago, an article featuring boozy milkshakes was brought to my attention (I can’t seem to find it again, but if you search “boozy milkshakes,” Buzzfeed’s got you covered). Now, as someone who likes sweets and really likes rum, I had to find a recipe for myself to see if these sinful sippers

It’s no secret, as I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I have a major sweet tooth. These cookies are the perfect snack for someone like me: they’re sweet, citrusy, soft, chewy, soooooo not health food, and they’ve got that sinfully-rich mouth feel, which is odd for a lemon cookie, but wonderful, nonetheless.The best part
