Today, we have another guest post, courtesy of Lisa Schramm — my lovely mother. I’m glad she’s looking out for my mental health during midterm month, because I certainly don’t have the time to! 😛Anyway, she’s provided us with a nice little how-to on homemade pasta sauce (which, as someone who has made homemade pasta

This casserole is more like a lasagna, but no matter how you slice it, it’s delicious and super simple. It’s also a recipe that you can throw together, stick in the oven, and have ready in about an hour. I used a rotisserie chicken, so the only thing to cook was the casserole itself!The recipe

Today’s post is a guest post, courtesy of my lovely mother, Lisa. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any of this soup, but I hear it was quite good! Now, without further ado: Cream of Leek Soup! — When Jeanette first asked me to do a guest blog post, I hesitated. It felt like I was being

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

Ever since I started this blog, my dad has been asking me to make something for him. Now that classes are finished and my job has not yet begun, I finally have time to go home and cook for my parents. At first, it was kind of weird. I’m used to my kitchen: My appliances,

The school year is quickly closing in on the dreaded finals week, and that means I have to fight to have a life outside of projects, papers, and studying. As a result of this week’s ridiculous workload, this week’s blog post is a college go-to: Macaroni and cheese. I’m not talking Easy Mac, like the freshmen

This recipe is from a favorite source of mine, 12 Tomatoes. It’s supposed to be a homemade version of an Olive Garden meal: Pepper and Sausage Rigatoni. The recipe, it says, serves six, so I decided to invite some friends over for dinner, rather than cutting the recipe, as I usually would. The boyfriend and

After a long day of job searches, committee meetings, and classes, I finally made it home around 10 p.m. I treated myself to a shower and was preparing to climb up in bed with my book to wind down for the evening when the boyfriend asked me if we had plans for dinner. As usual, stressed-me
