Remember the beginning-of-the-year resolution you made to yourself to act like a grown up? It’s okay, we all know that the last time you actually went grocery shopping was a late night run two weeks ago….but don’t worry! As always, Bwog has you covered. Tatini Mal-Sarkar and Gabrielle Lipson channel their inner Rachael Ray and show you how to cook up some culinary creation with whatever you find in your fridge.
