HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Be safe tonight and have fun! We hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year filled with lots of YUMMY FOOD! *** I will be the first to admit that I use hyperbole more than any other person on this entire planet – or solar system even. There is literally … Continue reading

Broccoli and Cheese

Broccoli and Cheese

Google broccoli and cheese and you will be left with pages and pages of websites claiming they have the best recipe for this winning combination. Personally, I don’t think you even need a recipe; just combining the two ingredients is good enough. The other day I was craving broccoli (yes I crave broccoli) and spotted … Continue reading

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas yesterday! Here’s what I made for the wonderful family that invited me into their home for Christmas. I decided to change it up and make a new type of biscotti, although this recipe will always be my favorite. This was the first time I made biscotti without a stand … Continue reading

GOOD NEWS

Aaaaaaaaaaand now we have jobs! That’s right folks, you read that correctly: Taylor and I are now (under)employed and on our way to becoming fully functioning adults!

If you haven’t yet heard, today is apparently the End of the World. Though I guess if you’re reading this the world hasn’t ended yet – but it’s only 10 am so I guess we’ll see what happens. I certainly hope the world doesn’t end today. First of all, I need to know how Breaking … Continue reading

In the last couple of weeks I’ve had to deal with things like figuring out which grocery store carries my gluten-free necessities, how to get to these stores (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten lost), the way people drive (dare I say … Continue reading

Happy Holidays everyone! It doesn’t feel like I should be saying that so early, but if the Christmas music I’ve been hearing everywhere since early November is any indication, we must be pretty darn close. Being unemployed during the holiday season can be difficult. Going to parties and having everyone ask you what you’ve been … Continue reading

Biscotti

Biscotti

For my road trip, I wanted to make a gluten-free treat to bring along in case I was in a situation where I couldn’t find a gluten-free option. I decided to make biscotti and I ended up eating it at all times of the day. It’s perfect for dipping into your coffee at breakfast, a great snack, … Continue reading

Spinach and Leek Gratin

While I’m settling into my new apartment, I will be posting some recipes I made while I was still at home living with my parents. (Also known as the time when I cooked for more than one, and could afford fancy ingredients!) This Spinach and Leek Gratin is a dish I actually made for Thanksgiving … Continue reading
