a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
So, I have a kinda funny story for you all. Well, my life is all kind of a funny story, but this situation really takes the cake. Leading up to Christmas holidays I was experiencing discomfort in my lower jaw near the back of my …
With my personal week from hell now officially behind me, I am in a rather celebratory mood and what better way to celebrate than with cookies? For all those who are unaware, last week I had four midterms, which was already bad enough, but I …
Well, it’s finally starting to feel like fall and I don’t just mean because of the weather. At this point every one of my roommates (including myself) has been sick, midterms are getting ready to kick my ass and it gets dark before 8pm. Continue reading Warming Veggie Noddle Soup
