Know what’s kind of awesome?

Making something amazing that takes zero effort whatsoever!

Sometimes I like to be lazy. I think it’s important to take time out of our busy schedules to just do nothing. I’ll admit this feels slightly uncomfortable, because I’m the type of person who’s always frantically obsessing and freaking out about all the things I have bouncing around in my brain. There’s always so much to DO, right?

But hey. Sometimes, it’s totally okay to just lay around in your pajamas all day, making to-do lists, watching Portlandia and singing random songs to your dogs. This happens. This is real life.

Hey, pretty face!

If you’re anything like me, you are a fan of having clear skin. Clear skin = happy skin = happy me.

You’re probably wondering why I’m talking about skin and your face. After all, this is a food blog, right?

I know some stuff, dudes. Today we’re talking about food for your face!

kumquat poppyseed vinaigrette.

So I’ve been trying to do this crazy, wacky, totally wild thing lately. It’s called “eating healthy.”

I know. It’s bizarre.

Being surrounded by butter and chocolate and cookies every day at school doesn’t make it any easier. There are definitely days that I’m so busy at school I give in and have a cookie and 249 ounces of water for lunch. It totes happens. And I’m okay with it.

Mondays are kind of the worst, am I right?

No matter how much you love your job or your classes or whatever your weekly obligations may be, Mondays are still a bummer. The blissful freedom of the weekend is totally, completely over, and Friday seems ridiculously far away.

If I were Garfield, eating a whole tray of lasagna would make me feel better about Mondays. I would also be the world’s first lactose-intolerant cat who also happens to be allergic to cats. My own worst enemy!

Sadly, I am not a morbidly obese wisecracking cat. Sorry to disappoint you.

strawberry balsamic white pepper truffles.

Hey. You’re pretty fancy, right?

Are you into making insanely delicious treats for your valentine? Treats that are simple to prepare, but taste like they’re straight out of the fanciest chocolate shop in town?

While I am a fan of the finer things in life, like leather-bound books and rich mahogany, I’m not crazy about spending a ton of money on said fine things. Roses, chocolates and a nice meal at a restaurant are like, triple the price around Valentine’s day! That literally makes no sense to me whatsoever.

“Hey! It’s Valentine’s day! I must either really love you or I’m a little dumb, because I bought you this bouquet of six roses for $85! Hooray for love!”
