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.
Top Ten Refrigerator Do’s and Don’ts
When settling into school, my mom continuously versed me in how to properly store food. I received the ring around from everything from foods that spoil, foods subject to refrigeration and foods to toss within a week. All to my benefit though, as my room is free of those poignant moldy smells that seem to [...]
Why A Slow Cooker Should Be On Your Christmas List This Year
I was sitting around the other day, thinking about cooking—don’t judge me—when I realized how lucky we are to have modern appliances. I mean, seriously, I would be lost without my microwave, I NEED coffee in the morning and how would I get my bagels to golden-brown perfection without a toaster? OK, so there are [...]
A New Way to Use Ramen Noodles

But as the semester progresses, that time seems to dwindle, and to make it to class on time [...]
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. It is a voluptuous licking of the spoon, without ensuing culpability. It is food that loves the eater from the [...]
Painless Pulled Pork
I wish I could take credit for a recipe this simple and this delicious, I really do. But, unfortunately, I can’t. This pulled pork recipe is something I found while perusing the website allrecipes.com, one of my favorite websites for recipes. I like the website because it allows real people to submit, discuss and review [...]
Avocado-Feta Cornbread
I hate waste, but my roommates and I love avocados with the sort of passion normal people reserve for cookie dough. We go to the market together about once a week to buy our staples and the produce and proteins I’ll be cooking for dinner. (Yes, we eat as a family…) Last Saturday, we met [...]
