I like to think that I will own a little cafe one day. Pastries, espresso, fancy sandwiches, wine, petite desserts…It will have it all of life’s guilty pleasures . Speaking of guilty pleasures, tonight I had a craving. A craving for crusty Italian bread with a delicate center. This bread I speak of goes by [...]
I returned to my parent’s home yesterday evening right in time for dinner. We had take out, however; this isn’t your ordinary fast-food meal. My dad picked up Mexican food from a local place called Alto Cinco. It is one of those eateries you find once in a blue moon and I always look forward [...]
Breakfast today was salty. I am at the very bottom of my sunflower seed butter jar and was taken back by the potent flavor of the last few bites. I added some sweetness with honey, Crofter’s Europe Superfruit Spread, banana and homemade gingersnap granola.~3/4 (last of my container) plain Chobani Greek yogurt, 1 TBS chia [...]
Dear Heat Wave, Please end. Kind Regards, Nora I have been on the go all day and so has my food. I’m avoiding the heat at all costs. Working in the bakery today was AMAZING! I had to stop working there about a month ago when I started my full-time internship. I truly miss the [...]
It’s Sunday again, which meant one thing: Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen was open for business! Behold: Dad’s Legendary Strawberry Belgian Waffles. Sunday is always such a peaceful day in our home.

Working in the customer service bakery of a large grocery store has taught me the importance of consumer relations and shown me [...]
Did I really just complete my undergraduate college education? Ladies and gentleman, at 4pm this afternoon I emerged from the confines of my minuscule apartment looking half-human and walked to campus to hand in my last college paper ever. It still hasn’t hit me yet. Do I really not have any readings to do? Tests [...]
Happy Cinco de Mayo! I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m READY! I’m ready to take MY LAST TEST and ready to be DONE WITH COLLEGE! I started today feeling quite prepared. Last night as I was waiting for my artichoke to cook, I assembled both breakfast and lunch. I knew I wasn’t going to have much [...]
AH! I feel like I have been away for ages! This weekend was a little NUTS and filled with a few too many NUTS. I began my Saturday with a lovely breakfast with my roommate of Cinnamon Peaches and Cream Kodiak Cakes with sliced pineapple, watermelon, orange juice and coffee on the side. I love [...]
Do you ever have days where you feel like you are constantly racing against the clock? It is either moving too fast or too slow, leaving you bored and idle or overwhelmingly busy.
