In typical New York fashion, the weather has been completely unpredictable. Pouring one day, beautiful the next, and its latest mood--way way too hot for the end of May. When it gets hot,...
Im not proud of it, but every so often after a late night out on the weekend, judgment slightly clouded, I stop by an amazing place that is dangerously close to my apartment--pomme frites. What...
If youve read my blog before, you probably know by now that pizza is my favorite food. Its not even a contest. Youd think that a future nutritionist would try to pick something a little m...
As much as I love eating at cozy, local restaurants, I have a weakness for a few chains. Number one, my favorite of all which I am actually currently digesting, is Chipotle. The second, w...
I was walking through Whole Foods today with absolutely no idea what I wanted to blog about this week. Then, in front of me, appeared a massive display asparagus. Not just any asparagus.....
Yep, you read the title right. Cookies for breakfast. If that doesnt make you excited then I dont know what will. I know what youre thinking...cookies are pretty un-cook-tush-like a...
Free time has been a little non-existent for me lately. If Im not at work, then Im in class, or babysitting, or at a cappella rehearsal, or doing homework, or complaining about how busy my life...
When I was a younger, it was a tradition to decorate easter eggs every year. We would hard boil eggs, then die them various tie-dye patterns, and later they would meet their demise and be trans...
I have to admit that after an amazingly relaxing week in Cabo with my family, Ive had a little bit of trouble jumping back into the swing of things. Juggling work, school, and my million other ...
Enjoying an amazing week in Cabo with my family. Happy to say I wont be getting off my tush at all. See you next week!
With easter right around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to try a new egg recipe. But eggs really shouldnt be just for easter--since theyre truly the perfect protein source (a direct ...
I try to keep my recipes interesting. Thing like sweet potato falafel and mango shrimp summer rolls to name a few. And as much as I like to try new, unique recipes, sometim...
Growing up, meatloaf was a dinner staple for my family(not to mention my dads all time favorite food). As we became more health conscious through the years we switched from ground beef, to lean groun...
Just because its winter doesnt mean you cand find seasonal delicious produce. There are tons of hearty root vegetables, healthy greens like kale, and my favorite of all-citrus. I have a t...
I find that in the winter, I do a lot more sitting on my tush and ordering delivery than getting off my tush and cooking. My latest takeout obsession has been this thai food, particularly this ...
Happy Valentines Day! Nothing says "I love you" like fiber, right? Ok, fine, I admit it. I had a total planning fail and didnt get my act together to make a cute lovey dovey...
I know Im supposed to care that the Giants won the Super Bowl yesterday, and I guess I do, but what I REALLY care about is how awesome our game day snacks were. When I heard that the Meatball S...
I try to represent a good variety of food genres at tush cook. Ive done plenty of asian, mexican, italian, american...but never Indian. Its always intimidated me--partially because I dont...
Do you know what day of the year Americans consume the most calories? Thanksgiving? Nope. Christmas? Ho ho NO. Its actually Super Bowl Sunday. The holiday celebrating beer, junk food, and...
Ive been waiting for the perfect moment to show off my new skill, and I think nows the time. Only a few months ago, I poached my very first egg. For some reason, it had seemed to me like ...
Its January 11th and still no snow (with the exception of that little Halloween teaser). Usually, when the snow comes, I start making soup and stocking my freezer for winter hibernation. ...
If you told my 9 year-old self that in 15 years she would like, dare I say LOVE, broccoli, she would probably say you were crazy. I always hated broccoli. So much so that my sister Jenna ...
Sorry Ive been so MIA this week. Ive been enjoying a long, belated Christmukkah/New Years weekend with my family in Chicago (and many of you know how I can go off the grid when in Lubin lockdown). I ...
It doesnt necessarily feel like its time for Christmas/Hannukah yet. I just finished my finals, its 55 degrees with no snow in sight, and the only sign of Christmas in my apartment is the worlds tini...
I like to consider myself pretty well-versed in the kitchen. Ive worked with a lot of different ingredients and cook using plenty of different methods. But, I have to confess, that until last week, I...
Remember the kind of assignments youd be given college? Write a 20-page research paper, give a 5 minute powerpoint presentation, read 150 pages of this textbook (by next week). Well, my g...
Youve probably heard of wild rice before. Youve also probably assumed that its a type of rice, because it has the word rice in the name. Guess what, its not! I learned in my food science ...
Some people like a really traditional thanksgiving (turkey with all the trimmings) and some people like to shake things up (with a deep fried turkey, a turduken or even tofurkey...ew). Ive gott...
I think I brussel sprouts may be my favorite vegetable. I know its a bold statement, as I hate to play favorites with my veggies. Its especially bold, because if you asked my mom, shed te...
In the fall I find myself just trying to dream up new ways to use sweet potatoes. Last year I made sweet potato falafel, fries, and chips. I really just cant get enough. Ive found t...
