So, as I said before, I have pretty much zero time to cook this semester. And when I do have time, chances are Im way too exhausted or drained to actually cook something worth blogging about. However...
Hi everyone! Im still around, just exploding a little over the sheer amount of work I have this semester--and next semester looks like its going to be about the same, hurrah! I dont have a recipe for...
Hi everyone! It hasnt quite been a month since my last updated. I feel like Ive been neglecting you all! I havent, really; Ive just been so busy with school this semester. Taking three writing classe...
I think Ive mentioned here before that I dont often make breakfast. If I wake up early enough that breakfast is warranted, I either get a latte or eat whatevers left in the fridge from the past few n...
Its time for this months Taste&Create! This month, I was paired with Becky of Baking and Cooking, A Tale of Two Loves. I went through her archives and found that her very first recipe, "Sunda...
This is another one of those recipes that I grew up eating. My uncle moved here from Japan. Id love to say that this means I grew up familiar with lots of different Japanese foods, but really it mean...
So my classes started up yesterday. Hooray! Im actually excited. So far, I like them all. Then again, Ive only had 3 (out of 5) and only one session of each of those, so I might be completely wrong. ...
My experience with panko bread crumbs has been, until recently, extremely limited. It seems that some of the sushi I enjoy is covered in them, but that was really about it. Luckily, this changed fair...
Hi everyone! Look at me, blogging on a Tuesday like Im supposed to. I was really excited to be paired with Dragon Musings for this months Taste&Create. She has 3 kids, I believe, and does a lot o...
It seems like forever ago that I told you all to buy the Poor Girl Gourmet cookbook. Have you bought it yet? Because if you have, then this post is probably completely unnecessary, but if you HAVENT ...
Hi guys! I promise theres food in here, but I have to be a fangirl for a moment. Youll probably learn more about me than you could from all the rest of my posts combined here. If you dont want to hea...
Im excited! I invented this all by myself. It started as a "oh no, what should I do with this chicken" that turned into one dish, and after eating that one I decided I wanted to invent someth...
I promised a post today, didnt I? Was I specific? I hope I wasnt specific. I intended to post my new favorite summer food (from Poor Girl Gourmet), but...well, last week, I went to water my tomatoes ...
Hey everyone! Ive been trying recently to actually have a regular update schedule. It wasnt a conscious effort at first, just an idea to post twice a week, and I looked back and realized that, the pa...
Have you guys heard of Sandra Lee and her "semi-homemade cooking" phenomenon? I hadnt until just recently, when I read something about her using baby food and muffin mix and trying to pass it...
Wow, its been a while since I posted a dessert on here! I dont actually make dessert all that often--in the summer its too hot and we just go out for ice cream, and when Im in school I dont have a lo...
You may remember that, last month, I participated in a food-blogging "event" called Taste&Create and really enjoyed searching for recipes from my partner blog, My Year on the Grill. Becau...
A while ago, a couple of the blogs that I follow posted recipes for asparagus risotto. Ive never made a risotto before--well, not a REAL risotto--and I absolutely love asparagus, so of course I absol...
I dont post a lot of breakfasts on here. A long time ago, I posted a recipe for banana pancakes that I just titled "Breakfast." This isnt because I was too lame to come up with a good title, ...
Ive been terrible about blogging this week. Every day I think, at some point, "Oh, Ill write a blog post today!" and it hasnt happened yet. This may be because Mike brought his Wii over to my...
One thing that frustrates me as a person who likes to cook is the barrage of questions that I frequently have to face when feeding new people. "Where did you learn to cook?" "Where did yo...
This is another favorite that I discovered on Recipezaar ages ago, "ages" here being defined as "7 or 8 months." Its easy and delicious and I have a bunch of basil plants now because ...
So, a while ago I finally got around to getting those plants I wanted and potting them--I have four tomato plants that are growing amazingly fast, three basil plants (I know its a lot, but I really R...
Hi everyone!This month, I decided to participate in Taste&Create, a food-blogger-community event that pairs you off with another food-blogger and you each have to cook something from each others ...
So I know Ive been talking a lot about grilling this summer and how exciting it is, but I havent posted anything grilled yet. I know, I know. But, the thing is, theres really not all that much to pos...
Hey everyone! Just a quick update today--Im re-organizing my blogging world! Hooray! (I should be re-organizing the rest of my life, but hey, this is a start).I now have an email address dedicated to...
During the summer, I really like having a salad as a side dish, or even as a light meal. Unfortunately, actual "salad"--that is, the lettuce part--makes me really sick. I miss things like Chi...
It has been a cloudy, rainy, icky week. I seem to have developed something of an awful cold, with a super scratchy throat and sinus headaches and refusing to get out of bed until noon (oh...wait, I d...
Okay, so given the pie crust post from the other day, I doubt any of you are surprised that Im following up with the actual pie. (I dont remember if I mentioned that it was coming, but it was.) This ...
I hear a lot of people saying that they cant make a pie crust. This never quite made sense to me--I made my first pie when I was 12. I read the instructions and followed them and the crust came out p...
