Welcome back to reality, Bwoggers.

So, be sure to feed yourself well—food is fuel! Try making your own buttermilk dressing and […]

So, it has come to my attention that some people don’t like breakfast… I’m sorry, but WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? It can be just as creative and multi-faceted as any other meal (sweet, savory, salty, creamy, crispy, etc) and can set the tone for the rest of your entire day. Or, if you are like me, […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again– eggs are amazing little self-contained ovoids of golden glory. Plus, they’re cheap and versatile. So, on a weekly basis, the number of eggs I consume would boggle your mind. A lot of people I know hate eggs, BUT that is only because they don’t know their preferred cooking method. Ya see, […]

Oh, Prezbo– it’s finally here. Spring is in the air and I am throwing up my arms and pretending that finals aren’t right around the corner. In my typical fashion, I have been off enjoying the weather and good food– like this veggie stir fry– rather than doing actual work. Please procrastinate with me and […]

This Bwogger has held the Nutella Stuffed-Browned Butter- Chocolate Chunk- Sea Salt Cookies near and dear to her heart for a very long time. They have made grown adults cry tears of joy, resulted in ceasefires and calmed the most rowdy of small gremlins (aka the children I babysit). These are THE cookies for every […]
