The snack of champions Have you been missing my recipe posts? Me too. But I have literally been eating my mom’s food or my mom’s food’s leftovers since Thanksgiving. There is an end in sight though so maybe in a two weeks I’ll have cook for myself again. For now, I’ll just suggest that you…

Tea & Cake
Sorry it’s been hectic lately, school starts tomorrow! For our last day of Christmas break my friends and I had tea & cake in honor of The Finer Things Club. Here’s the menu: Lithuanian Napoleonas Torte Yummy unnamed Lithuanian pastry (raspberry filled) Tres Leche Cake Oatmeal cranberry cookies pretzels All served with Earl Grey tea…
Leftover Pizza: Revisited
This is what I made for lunch. Pizza + College student seems to go hand in hand, but I’m trying to promote making good, homemade pizzas (remember this pizza post?–sorry in advance for the horrible picture). They’re pretty simple and they taste so much better. And it was made almost entirely of leftovers! It’s Italian…
Misery with a hint of thyme
I’m sick. It feels awful. I have midterms and papers and no energy. I shouldn’t be blogging right now. But I thought I might do a good deed and maybe get some karma points by sharing a chicken soup recipe for sick people —meaning, it’s so easy to make, you can do it when you’re…
Mini Coffee Cakes
[sorry the picture is so bad] mmm. Coffee cake! I went to a pot luck a week or so ago and we all had to bring desserts so I made these. It was perfect because there was no fuss with knives and plates and no girls going “I just want a tiny, tiny, little nibble.”…
Vegetarian Tacos
This the only purposefully vegetarian dish I know how to make, which I got from RealSimple magazine: Vegetarian Tacos With Spinach, Corn, & Goat Cheese. Evan made it first so I knew I liked it, otherwise I am pretty skeptical of vegetarian dishes. It’s yummy! I made it for my vegetarian roommate, Katelynd. She insisted…
I will love you forever,
Sugar Cookies! Don’t get me wrong, I have a wonderful relationship with oatmeal cookies (sans raisins), as you may have noticed by description to the left. Oatmeal cookies are a responsible, family cookie that I knew would always be there for me. Sugar cookies are my guilty mistress. They have no pretense of nutrition in…
Oatmeal pancakes for labor day
I made these this morning and thought you might enjoy them on your labor day off so I’m posting them early. I usually use a this recipe, but last time they didn’t turn out well so I tried one from The Joy of Baking. Mmm! I think you’ll find them even more filling without the…
If you haven’t heard…
There’s a salmonella outbreak on eggs! So sad. I love eggs. And I just got an egg poacher I’m itching to test out.
Did you know there is an Egg Safety organization? Here are some of the ones I thought were most interesting:
My new favorite cereal
Mmm. Annies Fruity Bunnies. Have you heard of Annie’s? I’m not sure if they sell them at Walmart,I always get them at Safeway. They make things like macaroni, snacks, and cereal. They make organic and natural foods. My favorite cereal used to be Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which I still like, but it was a little…
