  • Ginger Almond Butter

    Who doesn’t love nut butter? Okay actually I shouldn’t say that, because.. I’ve been there. I’m very back and forth, going through a jar in a week, then not eating it for a few weeks. But I always return to it (throwback to the first time I made it!!) When I was a kid, I […]

  • WIAW ( + VEGFEST & upcoming recipes!)

    Happy WIAW folks! It’s been a while, but my days are chaotic, I eat at weird times, and don’t get photos. Of all days, I didn’t think I’d document a Thursday! Thursdays are my only early class- 8:30 am Food Lab. It’s a very unpredictable day because I usually don’t eat that early, let alone […]

  • WIAW: a popular, easy dinner on repeat

    Happy WIAW! So, I’m really liking living in an apartment and cooking for myself! I do miss the social aspect of dining on campus with friends and some of the buffets, but the one I like is quite a bit far away from me anyways, so it’s generally not even an option for me to […]

  • Creamy Zucchini Polenta

    Hi all! How’s your week going? Ours went from snow… to 60’s & 70’s… back to sleet and snow! The grey has had me craving warm, hearty bowls, and that’s what I’ve been trying to do! I think it’s a continuation of the hearty, creamy, hummus theme! But really, the savory craving has been strong […]
