I really, really love vegetables. Kinda goes with the whole RD2Be thing. So when my mom made approximately five pounds of roasted vegetables this week, my heart soared and my stomach rejoiced (if internal organs were capable of emotions and thought). I love roasted vegetables. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, making…
Asian Sugar Snap Peas
Who loves sugar snap peas? Me too! Sugar snap peas are a magical vegetable. A perfect shade of green, delightfully crisp, and chock full of vitamin C. If I’m not careful, I can polish off a one-pound bag in an afternoon… It may be my favorite vegetable of all time (at least right now!). But…
Mushroom-Lentil Potpie
I love Pinterest. Seriously, I love, love, love Pinterest. If I could, I would sit around all day and scroll through the millions of crafting ideas, recipes, makeup tips, and exercise regimens. As much as I would like to do this (preferably in my pj’s with a cup of tea and something sweet), I usually…
Chocolate Molton Cakes
You all know that I don’t really do the whole Throwback Thursday thing, but I’m throwing it back to this weekend when I whipped up some amazing chocolate molten lava cakes. Chocolate cake + molten center = a happy Grad School Foodie And this recipe by Emeril Lagasse is super simple to whip up!
Baked Eggs with Kale
You know that I love kale. You also know that I love baked eggs. So it makes perfect sense that at some point I would stick both of them together. That point was Sunday night after I got home from the airport… I was hungry, cranky, and had absolutely nothing in the fridge except eggs,…
Oatmeal Craisin Cookies
Happy Snow Day, everyone! I hope that everyone is safe and warm at home, curled up with some TV, a good book, or a big cup of hot chocolate. This snow day reminds me of grad school, where waking up to thick blankets of snow was a common occurrence. And nothing makes me want to…
Baked Eggs
Hey there! I missed you! Are you having a good Sunday? Know what will make it better? Baked eggs. Yes, baked eggs. My family stumbled upon the food tradition of baked eggs by total accident during our family trip to Paris a few years ago. We were staying at a wonderful hotel that put out…
Buche de Noel, Day 3
It. Is. Finished. Oh my goodness, everyone, I am so unbelievably happy today. Yesterday, with some help from my dad, I pulled together the famed holiday dessert – The Buche de Noel.
Buche de Noel, Day 2
Another day, another step in the creation of the Buche de Noel! Last night I whipped up the chocolate ganache that serves as the filling and icing for the Buche de Noel. Ganache is just a mixture of cream and chocolate and can be used in so many ways. I usually dip cookies in it,…
Buche de Noel, Day 1
Hey kiddos! How are you? I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season, whether you are in the midst of celebrating Hanukkah or prepping for your Christmas or Kwanza celebrations!! It is four days until Christmas and I am not prepared at all. My room is not clean. My family’s gifts are not wrapped….
