It’s no secret that I’ve been out there helping out as much as I can. Mostly I’ve been cooking, because it’s the best way I know to spread the love. There’s so many ways to spread the love, many of which require people with all sorts of talents. I recently made some parfaits for another…

4 Foods to get you Summer–Body ready without breaking the bank!
Hey All, In light of my previous submission by my friend Helen, I’ve been receiving lots of articles from writers wanting to share their tips on cooking, staying healthy, and eating in general. It’s been awesome and super fun to read things by others, and I want to support my fellow writers (and in this…
Crazy- Amazing Stuffed Squid
As much as I love to write about cooking, I myself am a professional cook in my everyday life (which explains why I almost never have time to post). One of the many amazing things about my line of work is the incredible people I have met along the way. Don’t get me wrong, the…
Adventures in Breadbaking
For the holidays, I have been given the best gift ever, and have a full week off from work. That’s right. Monday to Sunday. After years of going and going in this industry, a little time to rest is an amazing thing. Since I get bored easily, though, I decided to cook up a storm,…

I’ve gone from just understanding consomme to pulling together more composed dishes: My life, similarly, has become more composed as well. I’ve somehow learned to balance school, three jobs, and a (somewhat…
Seven Days in Sydney
A few weeks ago, I landed from a week long trip in Sydney, Australia. I’ve been peeling from the intense sun and desperate to go back ever since. It was a whirlwind trip, one that included all the major sights of the city, plus some underground spots and local watering holes introduced to me by…
Frugal Foodie in the Land Down Unda
It’s about that time again, when people start to go home and bundle up for the holidays. Not me. I hate the cold. Hate it. I can deal with cold weather for a little, after I first step outside, but as soon as that cold wind slaps me in the face, I’m done. There’s little…
Life in the Land of Consommé
The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind. Being back in school, and a technical school at that, is overwhelming and fun and scary and inspiring all at once. Does that even make sense? So I started culinary school at the CIA. What can I even say? It’s awesome. First of all, my lunches…
