I stopped across this recipe many times–a couple times here, and another few times here. Each time, it never occurred to me to bookmark it because it looked strange and… healthy. It’s as though someone decided to toss a whole bunch of healthy ingredients together and called that a dish. Hey, that’s what the whole [...]

Halfway through the semester, I have decided that I needed to broaden my understanding of the world, so I acquired this newly found interest in cheeses. I am not sure the logic behind that because it is clearly unfair to a lactose-intolerant person to suddenly express fascination with cheeses. There are limitations to my ability [...]

I suppose you can call me the case of the late bloomer. I was (and still am) the quintessential dork, nerding my way through the books. I still get the unfortunate case of the case of the giggles over the dorkiest jokes. Somehow between the all-nighters and overdoses of caffeine in college, I shifted from [...]

In business, people recommend not to eat anything with tomato sauces. Common sense, right? It splatters, and it stains. Nothing looks more professional than having a perfectly ironed white blouse with a lovely dash of marinara across it. Unfortunately for me, I am an aspiring business person yet adore tomato sauces. I enjoy alfredo and [...]

Lately, I have been trying to make more savory dishes to carve my way out of the sweets. Don’t get me wrong–I still <3 my sweets dearly, but I need to be able to cook and feed myself once I start living out on my own. This has me thinking about pastas more often. Before, [...]

Between the scribbles of numbers and account titles, I can taste the freedom from school. I have one semester left to go, but that’s all I have been thinking about as of late. I am not sure what that cliche is supposed to taste like, but I envision it to be something like stepping out [...]

As the weather perks up with the first signs of spring, people are starting to ask, “What are you going to do in the summer?” For the first time, I have a more interesting answer than summer school or moping around at home. Haha, it appears that a summer tax internship is quite the conversation [...]
Day 7: Gnocchi Verdi al Gorgonzola

One of my childhood friends loves to eat gnocchi. If that dish is on the menu, she is almost certain to order it regardless of the sauce base. Over time though, she has observed that not all gnocchi dishes are of the pillow-like wonderfulness that people rave about. In fact, some taste downright rubbery and [...]

When I first started baking, I avoided recipes that involved my hands getting dirty. I know that might be weird since cooking and baking are pretty hands-on activities, but I didn’t like the feeling of getting grit stuck in my fingernails or flour clinging to my shirt. It sort of makes sense if you consider [...]

Some people believe that you crave what you need, but I don’t know about that. Sometimes, I think it’s true when I have been eating heavy meals, I want to reach out for a salad or, at the very least, an orange. Other times, I am not so sure since it seems so random. I [...]
