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.
30 of the Most Incredible Brunch Photos
The number one reason I’m a lover of weekend livin’ is not entirely dedicated to sleeping in, vegging out, and having a few beers without worrying about what time I have to wake up the next morning. I love the weekend for one thing, and one thing only: brunch.

Intro to Cooking: Shakshouka
Do you loooove breakfast, so much so that you often eat it again for lunch, and dinner? You could pull off the thrice-daily cereal routine -and yes, I’ve been a culprit – but as great as three servings of Frosted Flakes tastes, I’ve got a dish for you that is as wholesome as a hot breakfast, delicious as a quick lunch, and hearty as a home-cooked dinner. It’s easy, it’s quick, and it’s ethnic to boot.
Eating Green: Know Your Labels
Whenever I go to the grocery store, I always try my best to load my cart with socially responsible products. Cage free eggs? Uh, yeah why not? Organic lettuce? Sure, throw that on in there. The truth is, though, up until recently, I didn’t really know what these things meant. They’ve just been over-marketed so that I think I’m doing good when really I may just be wasting money.
It’s World Vegetarian Day! Pass the Broccoli
I have never really liked meat. The idea of a bloody steak with neatly criss-crossed grill marks on my plate has never been appealing to me, and I have basically limited my carnivorous intake to the occasional chicken breast. My boyfriend is a vegetarian, and I can go for long stretches of time without eating any meat at all. So why am I not a vegetarian, too, already?
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!
The Real Cure for Hangovers
So you went out hoping to have a wild night of drunken fun with your friends. And you totally did. And then you woke up the next morning. And felt like you were going to die. Yep, we’ve all been there: the lovely hangover.

Tuffy Luv Luvs Eggs
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’m broke. But I’m still in college so I can’t work full-time. So I had this great idea. I’m going to donate an egg. Do you know anything about this? All I know is it’s going to make me money.
Thank you, Tuffy!
It’s (Easter) Party Time!
We all want to go home for Easter, but sadly, it’s nearing the end of the school year, and so we’re more likely to be munching on terrible dining-hall food than we are on delicious hollow chocolate rabbits. Before you get depressed about all the candy (oh yeah….and love) you’re missing back home, try bringing the Easter spirit into your own home. No, I’m not talking about Jesus. I’m talking about an Easter bash.
