Bake it up, Baby
Despite the fact that Wesleyan is the runner-up for most vegan/vegetarian friendly campus in the country, there are still a couple things I just don’t get to enjoy as regularly when I’m at school.
One of those being kale. (Also: baked tofu, berries, pesto). Kale is my salad green of choice, and often, the spinach or spring mix at the cafeteria just doesn’t cut it for me….
You know that college student trope of living off ramen? Yeah, I never really got that.
No, no, it’s not like I’m saying I’m the health queen at school (I think the lady at the late night falafel truck definitely knows me by face…), but noodles and noodle soup are definitely something that I like to make myself.

Guys, it’s officially Thanksgiving week!
I can’t wait to spend an entire day in my kitchen cooking and I’m so excited for all. the. food! …
Today’s an extra-special day!!!
I mean of course, apart from having a project, two essays, and two midterms due in the next two days (why). Today we’re actually celebrating something pretty epic….
Fresh pasta is just one of those things that sounds like a lot of work.
I mean, if you look at most traditional recipes, it certainly seems that way. Lots of kneading, resting, machine-ing, cutting… it’s a lot….
Wow, seriously, could this title be longer?
I’ve never quite named a salad on this blog so obnoxiously, but it’s totally worth it, because every component of this salad makes it so good. …
My first memory of Japanese food involves udon.
My dad used to take me to an Asian market/restaurant by our house that was surprisingly authentic. We would split a vegetable croquette (Think potatoes and vegetables, deep fried. I know) and each get a noodle dish. He would always get soba noodle soup (buckwheat noodles), and for some reason, I’d get zaru udon….
Oh, kitchen fails. When your counter has been floured, wiped down, and floured again and you are slowly depleting your brown sugar supply with nothing to show for it.
Sometimes, (especially when it comes to vegan baking) things (yes I’m talking about you, crumbly linzer cookies!) don’t work out. So I like to beat the complicated-baking-frustration with simple but delicious foods….
I’m calling it right now, this is the prettiest salad you’ll ever eat.
Raw beets just do the most gorgeous things when it comes to color, am I right?…
