5 Food Experiences You Must Have Before Graduating from College
Eating out is pretty much a staple of the college experience. The plethora of options at the dining hall can only sustain you for so long until everything starts to taste like the same processed crap. But while you may have settled for a few favorites (au bon pain’s caprese sandwich and Bagel Gourmet’s burritos were personal favorites), don’t miss out on some classic college food experiences that will prepare you for the real world…no seriously.
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?

Breakfast Casserole: The Breakfast You Won’t Burn After 8 Beers
I don’t know about you, but for some reason when I’ve had a couple of drinks, breakfast food starts to sound pretty appetizing, and the morning after I’ve had my share of cocktails, it’s about the only thing that sounds appetizing.

Ingredient of the Week: The Beauty of Blueberries
You know how people say something is “as American as apple pie”? Well I don’t know where that saying came from, but someone needs to dust off the history books. The saying should go, “as American as blueberry pie.” Not only are blueberries delicious, but also they are one of the only fruits that we [...]
Avocado Egg Bake
In her book How to Eat, Nigella Lawson invokes a genre she calls “temple food.” Without even reading beyond those words, I knew exactly what she meant. It is a meal both carnal and virtuous.
