  • I'm just a college girl who likes flannel shirts, Jane Austen novels, and wool hats. I love Bono, the Beatles and believe Gandalf is a superhero. I drink too much coffee and always make a mess in the kitchen.

    Succulent, fresh blueberries make my eyelashes batter, chocolate makes me blush, and I have no doubt in my mind that peanut butter should be its own food group.

Homemade Tomato Sauce

Homemade ice cream has become my most recent obsession. It’s pretty much up there with no makeup, sunday waffles, and bikram yoga. A few weeks ago, a good family friend of mine lent me a terrific vegetarian cook book, written by the chefs at Cafe Flora in Seattle. Little did she know, I’ve read every … Read more

Strawberry Creme Pound Cake

I made us more pound cake. Now don’t be mad, but my brain has been a bit flakey about posting healthy recipes recently. The act of browning butter and creaming it with granulated sugar is an act I’ve become all too familiar with. Of course, nothing sounds better than the addition of strawberries and creamy Greek yogurt. … Read more

Brown Butter Vanilla Bean Banana Pancakes

My bikini pile looks like a pile of chocolate and vanilla ice cream just laughing at me. Wait… Are bikinis really considered undergarments? Or are they just bathing suits? Translation: bikinis are underwear that you wear in public. That’s downright horrifying. I hate bikinis. You know those women who look like absolute babes in bikinis? … Read more

Chewy Goji Berry Granola Bars

1. I’ve been watching Ryan Lochte’s reality show because apparently I like abs more than quality TV. I keep thinking to myself that perhaps if Ryan Lochte had a British accent, it would help disguise his absolute stupidity. But then he speaks again and I’m at a total loss for words. 2.

Springtime Lemon Chicken with Saffron & Lavender

Graduation is slowly approaching. I received a schedule for the day. I have my cap and gown. I’ve even been getting alumni emails about donations. Thanks, Elon. I didn’t realize tuition every dang semester wasn’t enough. I don’t have a new dress or heels, but don’t worry they’re coming. One of my best friends, Olivia, graduated … Read more
