Keep Calm and Choripán: Choripán con Chimichurri
I love reading days. By the Thursday prior to exam week, my term papers are all submitted, and there’s this easy feeling about campus – for most people, finals don’t start for another four days or so, and it’s easy to forget the storm that’s coming. I usually haul my books to the pool and [...]
But MOM! Broccoli Cheddar Soup for the Homesick Soul
“Mom?” “Yes, baby?” “Can I ask you a question?” “You want pancakes for dinner, don’t you?” “…Yes.” This is a common exchange in my apartment, and although I should mention that to my knowledge I currently have no biological children, I do have two beautiful roommates whom I love to spoil.

Channa Masala for Cheapskates
Well folks, we’ve made it to mid-Winter. It was a bit touch and go up in the Northeast where I’m situated, especially after Nemo and Plato (whoever devised the names for winter storms is clearly a boss). Depending on where you’re located, you very well may have had enough of snow and bitter coldness to last you for a few years. At this point, you’ve been doing all you can to stay warm, which probably means you’ve been consuming copious amounts of soup to the point where you’re sick of every broth, cream, and lentil variety (hard to believe, but it happens).
Enter Channa Masala, a sweetheart of South Asian cuisine.

Vegan Desserts are Delicious Too: Pumpkin Crumb Cake with Pecan Streusel
Before my sister had an identity crisis a few years ago, I never really believed that vegan desserts could be moist and flavorful; I just figured that most desserts are made with dairy for a reason, so without it, how could they compare? But, boy was I wrong. While I still hold onto the belief [...]

Thanksgiving Glass Jars: A New Way To Recycle Leftovers
The leftover turkey sandwich is a Thanksgiving staple to any festive foodie. Although sweet and savory, by my third bulky roll it begins to lose its appeal. What is one to do with all the dishes full of slice turkey breast, garlic mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce clogging your refrigerator? Instead of chucking the Thanksgiving leftovers, store them in compatible glass jars. This savvy trick is versatile as a single serving ready to go, a festive gift to a friend and easy storage!
