    Caramelized Apple Omelet [Intro to Cooking]

    When adapting a recipe, it is important to identify the key flavors, and replace them with something similar. Here, I replaced the sugar, crème fraîche, and caramel with honey, as I don’t keep crème fraîche on hand. I also added the gouda cheese because… well, I’m an apple and cheese fanatic.

  • One Month Challenge: Fun with Fitness, Week 3

    One Month Challenge: Fun with Fitness, Week 3

    I basically live my life by the phrase “go big or go home.” I’m an extremist in every way. I either love something or hate it, am obsessed or utterly disinterested.

    Intro to Cooking: Banana-Nut Whole-Grain Pancakes

    I am a self-confessed hippie eater. No, I do not eat hippies. However, I do eat in the way that most hippies do—that is, staples of my diet include wheat germ, quinoa, and organics of all kinds, and, occasionally, I will even go out on a limb and try something like Kefir. Basically, I want my body to be as healthy as possible, so I’m going to put healthy things in it.

    Do you loooove breakfast, so much so that you often eat it again for lunch, and dinner?

It’s easy, it’s quick, and it’s ethnic to boot.

  • Intro To Cooking: Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

    Intro To Cooking: Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

    Though it’s getting a bit chillier these days, it’s still Fall, pumpkin-flavored anything is still awesome, and there’s basically nothing better than waking up and making yourself pancakes on a blustery morning, afternoon, or night. Ok, so maybe having some hottie do it for you would be nice, but you’ll forget all about that once you bite into these badboys.

    5 Things to Learn Your First Week on Campus

    I learned more my first week at college than I did in my entire life. And I don’t mean academically. I mean socially, financially, emotionally and drunk-ly.

    Intro To Cooking: (Legitimate) Pizza for Breakfast

    Frittata’s are a personal favorite because they’re insanely fast (10 minutes tops), super-easy (if you can stir, you’re set), can take pretty much whatever you have hanging around the fridge (baking soda – not recommended) and makes it look like you have actual cooking skill. Bonus points for giving it a fancy sounding name!
