3…2…1…Happy Chinese New Year!! This is the year of the rabbit and it’s said to be a placid year, which is welcomed and much needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. So what could be more relaxing than cooking? Though it actually fell on February 3rd and I’m a little behind, I thought it…
Before college I had never tried sushi- I was missing out! Lucky for me I was introduced to sushi soon after I started school at Michigan State. We are very fortunate to have authentic restaurants offering fresh sushi within walking distance of campus. Sushi Ya was the closest restaurant to me and I soon became…
MSU offers some really terrific study abroad programs- I am lucky enough to have taken advantage of a couple of these programs. I spent my spring semester of 2010 in Sydney, Australia. I had a blast and made some great friends. A couple weeks ago I headed back to Sydney and spent some time basking…
Welcome back to MSU! Hope everyone had a great holiday and new years. I spent my Christmas down in Dallas because my Aunt and Uncle live down there, as well as my sister who is a fellow Spartan. The holidays are often spent carrying out traditions that have been past down from years to years. …

Now it’s time to talk about the potatoes! Mashed potatoes are such a huge part of comfort and I think comfort is what make Thanksgiving so special… or maybe it just the full feeling from the potatoes that makes us so happy…I’ll leave that up to you to decide. This recipe really jumped out at…
Pumpkin pie is no surprise for desert at Thanksgiving, and that is something I really don’t mind. I love pumpkin pie plain and simple. I always hear recipes about how people elaborate on the pie and change it up with all different flavors and spices. But in my opinion if the pie aint broken don’t…
Fall is here and I hope all you “foodies” are thoroughly enjoying it! With all the great things at the market such as squash, pumpkin, and pomegranates, I hope you are gobbling it all up. With gobbling said I bet you all are just thrilled that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! At my house…
I’m so excited to start this food blog! It’s pretty self-explanatory, but just is case, this blog is going to be all about food! I know, so exciting. To start, I think you should know a little about me and why I’m writing a blog all about food. I love food, and I mean this…
