One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I think its safe to say that my schedule was all over the place this summer and even something as important as Fathers Day I missed. I was just beginning my adventure in Brasil when June 19th rolled around this year so I knew I had to make it up to my dad with…
The Easter bunny has been hoping down the bunny trail and he stopped by East Lansing to ask me to do some serious experiments this Easter…perfecting the hard-boiled egg. I have been annoyingly attempting to peel eggs for years now and normally lose half the egg from the shell being stuck to it! I decided…
Lent is well upon us and I hope I’m not the first one to break the news to you! Lent is a time when girls give up junk food as an excuse for a diet and your parents tell you to be a better person. I’m really challenging myself this year and decided to give…
Hopefully you are all recovering from waking up early to start the celebration of wonderful St. Patty’s Day! I also hope you all ate a lot of corned beef and cabbage, but wait, you might want to put that fork down and read this before you continue eating. Believe it or not corned beef was…
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. …

Everything looked as good as it tasted. The mashed potatoes had such a great, rich flavor that wasn’t an overpowering…
Every year I always make whipped sweet potatoes. Last year I tried to spice it up a bit by making whipped orange sweet potatoes which were actually really good. But this year I am not making them whipped. My white potatoes are going to be whipped so I thought it would be nice to have…
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…
