It’s no secret. I love peanut butter. I always have and always will. My tastes have changed over the years. I’m a tried-and-true crunchy gal, but once upon a time I had an affinity for creamy. I love it in all forms. In sandwiches, topping oatmeal, in ice cream, candy or heck…it’s perfect by the [...]
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.

The answer to these questions may be obvious for some, however; after four years of Model United Nations in high school, I challenge everything.

Good morning and happy MONDAY! How is it already Monday again? I returned to my apartment late last night after a wonderful last meal (complete with a brownie and mint chocolate chip ice cream ) with my parents. Unfortunately, commuting home on the weekends often means that I am nearly out of weekly staples. As [...]

In my oversize cappuccino mug: 1/4 cup oat bran, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 banana, 1 TBS chia seeds, 1 cup (plus ~1/3 cup added after stirring and cooking) water, cinnamon and [...]
Happy Wednesday! I thought you might be getting sick of my daisy bowl and cold oats, so I decided to switch things up for today with a new combination. Actually I’m lying, the daisy bowl is dirty. Enter: dancing crab bowl. For the first time in months I was craving hot oatmeal for breakfast. I [...]
Saturday was my last day working at the bakery. This job has been one of the best experiences of my life and has influenced me to pursue a career in the food industry. Working in the customer service bakery of a large grocery store has taught me the importance of consumer relations and shown me [...]
