Seventeen Fashion Finder (2)

School’s starting again and every girl knows what that means! Boys! … Okay, maybe some boys, but really, I think you know what I’m talking about. Clothes. I wouldn’t call myself a fashionista, a regular reader of Elle, Glamour, W, or any other fashion or women’s magazine (I tend to stick to Gourmet and The ... Read More

College is expensive. There is no doubt about it, and the difference in tuition hikes alone are dramatic in just a few years. A New York Times article highlighting the most expensive Colleges in the United States was written just in October of last year, and the most expensive college was revealed to be Sarah ... Read More

8/31/09 •
It’s that time of year when students everywhere are gearing up for their Freshman year at college, returning for upper division, or perhaps embarking on their first year of Graduate school. Some schools – many of them in California – start extraordinarily early, from the penultimate to the last week in August, with other schools ... Read More
Tap and Track Calories (2)
8/29/09 •
I am not fat, but yesterday three people called me skinny-chubby. I immediately downloaded the Tap & Track Calories iPhone app figuring maybe I can regain my title as skinny (or fit even) and loose my handles. Tap & Track Calories determines your caloric intake based on the Body Mass Index (BMI) which takes your ... Read More
Chipotle Mexican Grill Ordering (2)
8/28/09 •
Oh man, do I love burritos. My boyfriend likes to give me a quizzical expression when I say this, and toys with the corners of his mouth, in a half-smile, stating the obvious: “Well, you are half-Mexican.” True, my mother is from Guadalajara, deep in the heartland of Mexico. But trust me, the burritos we ... Read More

Last night I had difficulty coming up with something creative for dinner. I wracked my brain, trying to think of something inspired and original – something fun – but I settled for a hackneyed, tired and done, romaine salad with pear tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, cucumber rounds, and a Sesame-Shiitake dressing from Annie’s Naturals ...

I love farmers’ markets! Because of this insane passion, I have been going through iPhone apps to find one that is both easy to use and useful in finding local-tastic farmers’ markets. Sprout is offered for free in the Appstore, so I thought I should give it a chance. Budding Aspects A step in the ... Read More

Ever try to make dinner reservations at the last minute? I wouldn’t recommend it. Restaurants are usually crowded from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and even on the less busy nights, you’re gambling against pretty heavy odds if you and your party simply show up to a restaurant in the hopes they have space. Obviously, the ... Read More
An Appetite For Apps: Best iPhone Apps for Foodies (0)

We are a culture of food. Throughout our lives, from young to old, we celebrate the many events and occasions in our lives with food. When ill, our mothers tend to us with aromatic chicken soup and, once better, treat us with homemade brownies – chewy and fudgy, with a slight crisp to the outside. ... Read More

I recently made a Vegan Blueberry Grunt, just with some spare ingredients I had on hand, using all my blueberries before they’d go soft and spoil – a grunt for those you unhip to the Pennsylvania Dutch lingo, is a simple dessert similar to a cobber, only with hefty biscuits baked atop the stewed fruit ...
