Note to self: never go grocery shopping on the day you’re recovering from a red-eye. These are some of the things I purchased during my so-tired-I’m-basically-drunk excursion: 2 mangoes 10 lemons organic turkey burgers collard greens store brand tomato sauce a loaf of white bread The majority of the stuff I bought was organic, which…

dinosaur cornbread
If you’re not from Syracuse, you’re wondering if I made you cornbread in the shape of a dinosaur. Like the dinosaur chicken nuggets from elementary school! Because everything tastes better when it’s in a bizarre shape, right?! No. Just a copycat Dinosaur BBQ cornbread recipe that I was given by my home cook idol/second mother,…
cinnamon roll bread pudding
As I mentioned, Kevin and I spent last Tuesday in Harry Potter world. I am unabashedly obsessed with Harry Potter. I’ve read the books so many times I’ve lost count (though it’s comfortably in double digits). I’m not big on the movies because they really don’t do the books justice, but I’ve seen them all….
chocolate layered ice cream cake
Who doesn’t need an ice cream cake recipe in February? My little Kev-Wev is turning 14! Which is so weird, because I was 12 when he was born but I’m currently 18 and living it up as a college student at Loyola sooo… I know my presentation isn’t the best. I tried the parchment paper…
coconut craisin walnut cookies
Technically these are a “kitchen sink” style cookie. But that title makes me gag because do you ever think about how dirty your kitchen sink probably is? All the germs and wet-sponge smells and airborne poultry bacteria?! No, that’s just me? I mean, I clean the sink regularly with a Clorox wipe but STILL. It…
whole wheat chocolate pomegranate bread
Here it is, the quintessential “basic” photo of fall: A few weeks ago when I made this forbidden rice with pomegranate seeds, I had some leftover seeds. At first I thought, “Salad!” and then I thought “Chocolate!” Chocolate always wins. After ruining my shirt with the last pomegranate, I figured there has to be a…
margherita pizza
WEDDING COUNTDOWN IS IN SINGLE DIGITS. I hope my mom isn’t reading this, she’s stressed like crazy and doesn’t need a reminder. On Monday this week I thought, “Maybe I’ll do a juice cleanse!” Not that I want to be crazy and lose a bunch of weight, but after all the dining out all summer…
crème brûlée, almost.
This post is coming to you from O’Hare Airport in Chicago, where I’m waiting to catch a connecting flight to Iowa. I missed mine by about 10 minutes. I’m having great luck traveling so far, as you can see. Anyway- good time for blogging I think. For graduation, Aaron gave me a blow torch. This…
aunt diane’s italian cookies
BIG NEWS! (In case I have any followers that don’t actually know me in real life.) My sister is engaged!! It makes me nostalgic for my pre-GS third wheel posts with Kelly and Aaron. Now they’re getting married! My cousin, Hannah, is also getting married (in less than a month!) and I volunteered to make…
aunt pat’s oatmeal cookies
I’m already sad that I’ll probably have to leave Rochester after my residency is done in a year. That’s stupid, I know. But I love it! Here are some highlights: 1) Everyone at my job is so nice. They love each other and seem like they are friends outside of work and I want to…
