maybe it's time I should start updating this again

I’ve been a little distracted, what with working full-time now. I get up between 5 and 5:30, get ready, work from 8 until 5, come home, relax, and go to bed between 9 and 10. Since I’m completely responsible for all of my bills, I’ve had to make a few “lifestyle” changes. Namely, “fine dining” is now much less prevalent in my life. When I eat out, it’s usually at Subway. Even my beloved Chipotle has been given the boot. I used to get Chipotle once a week - now, I’ve gotten it maybe four times since I moved to Phoenix. I don’t think I’ll be going back, because the past two times it has made me sick. Womp womp.

I’ve also been working on losing some weight. I gained a lot at the end of senior year, and it’s been gradually melting away - thanks mostly to my inadvertate Subway diet regimen. I decided to go with “develop heavy eating habits” instead of “rapid weight loss.” Why? Most of those cleanses, diet pills, etc, don’t actually do anything except remove water weight. They’ve never worked to actually keep weight off, and they’re incredibly unhealthy. Your body needs nutrients, not caffeine and hoodia.

This blog will be getting a content redesign. I’m not sure if I will update every day, but I will be updating more frequently than I have been!

I actually have this in my delicious bookmarks from a long, long time ago. I was thinking of making some this weekend for a friend’s birthday, but that might be a bit too complicated…besides, I have plenty of recipes to try out! It’ll be hard to narrow them down.

Does anyone else find the Hillshire Farms brat commercials really, really annoying? What is your least favorite food commercial?

presenting...my kitchen!

At the beginning of July, I moved to Scottsdale. I officially left Chicago and Evanston behind and have gone on to life on my own. I thought I would share some pictures of my first kitchen.

My latest project, Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins, had just come out of the oven. They are delicious. I had two today. I also have corn flour to make tortillas this weekend.

About to start a weekly project - cutting up veggies and freezing them
