Brie and Apple Grilled Cheese
If you’ve never had brie, I suggest this recipe highly. If you have had brie, I still suggest this recipe highly. Brie is light, creamy, and has a very smooth texture that lends itself to melting and melding with other flavors. In England, I would melt brie with chocolate and do grilled cheese that way, but yesterday I decided that pretending to be healthy would be a good idea, so I used apples instead. College Students Beware: brie is not the cheapest cheese out there, but if you are in the mood to indulge a little bit, give it a shot. I promise you, it is absolutely worth it.
Fudgy Mint Chocolate Brownies
You know when you’ve had a bad day and you come home and all you want to do is eat an entire pan of brownies fresh out of the oven? Well, if you have never had that feeling, these delicious brownies will change your mind.
A rich, fudgy brownie layer topped with a cool, creamy mint layer and finished off with a thin layer of chocolate. Although a little more advanced than your classic brownie-from-a-boxed-mix, they are still very easy and sure to be a hit with all your friends. The best part is that the mint layer starts off white so if you want to make it pink for Valentine’s Day or green for St. Patrick’s Day, the possibilities are endless!

Quick and Simple Curry Sauce
Curry is without a doubt one of my go-to flavors when I’m on my own for dinner. I tend to cheat, and use one of those curry sauces in the jar from the international aisle of the grocery store, but tonight I decided to try to whip up my own curry sauce, with a certain degree of success! For the base, I took a single serving container of vanilla yogurt and flavored it up with…

Bacon Chocolate
Growing up in a very food oriented household, one of my favorite smells to wake up to has always been, you guessed it, bacon, just out of the pan and the grease still hot and sizzling.
