The massive amount of rhubarb I get when I go home during the occasional weekend is overwhelming. There is only so much pie a girl can make (and eat)… and force others to eat. I decided to whip up something new! This was so incredibly easy to make and it tasted amazing, too! Crumb-Topped Rhubarb [...]

My roommate, Isabel, and I were going to make a coconut cake using fresh coconut but our coconut was… fermented.

A venture into something I’ve never tried cooking before – soba noodles! This was surprisingly good. I bought the soba at an Asian grocery store; if you can’t find them, spaghetti will probably work. However, they will have a different taste. Soba with Shiitake and Cabbage 1/3 cup water 1/3 cup soy sauce 5 tsp [...]

Girl Scout Thin Mints, mint ice cream, hot fudge, and chocolate wafers layered into a cake – what could be better? I had several boxes of Thin Mints laying around and as much as I love them, I haven’t been able to finish them all yet. So I figured I would put them to good [...]

For dinner tonight, Mike and I made eggplant Parmesan and some spinach pesto. We had a nice chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano leftover from Fromagination and we figured we should use it up before it dried out. I think we did a pretty good job. We have a little bit of the cheese left over and a [...]
