November, to me, is always the month that really drags on. It knows how to make you feel like you aren’t getting enough done: it gets darker much sooner and the newspapers are getting thicker, packed with all the Christmas goodies you are supposed to buy for your loved ones. This is why I love…

Healthy Banana Milkshake
When I buy bananas, I go all out. I can probably feed a couple of zoos and still have some to spare with all the bananas I have bought. This is one of the reasons I don’t buy bananas during the summer. They would be ripe before I could even get them home. So I’m…
Strawberry Spinach Salad
What have I been eating lately? Burgers? Fries? Things that I can get my hands on fast and easy so I don’t need to worry about taking time to prepare something. Well, I think I definitely need to reconsider my priorities. Or reconsider my food choices. I never knew how delicious and easy making a…
Easy Ice Cream Cake
You know, I should really just name everything I make now easy. I should have an easy category as my go-to “I’m going to make these because I only have 5 minutes to spare and I want to make something good” pile. Although it feels as though I would be going there a lot regardless:…
Strawberry Cranberry Smoothie
You know that I bought too many cranberries when all my smoothies are somehow loaded with these left-over frozen cranberries that I bought for thanksgiving. I should really celebrate another thanksgiving next month. You know, like the rest of America. Instead I made this. I have got to say though, I have grown to love…
Peach Cranberry Mint Tea Smoothie
Well, it seems like I’m pulling an all nighter. Yet again. But instead of guzzling down some coffee or grabbing a can of red bull, I opted to make this delicious smoothie instead. I know, the other two would have been faster to make so that I can get more stuff done, but I have…
Cranberry Lime Smoothie
Wow, it seems like I have no time for anything! I thought I could handle it. School full time plus tutoring 4 people plus running two first year calculus workshops plus working another job… But now I can plainly see that I need to give something up.. Making food? I think I may have given…
Lemon Sorbet
I have finally bought an ice cream maker you guys! Seriously, hands down, the best thing I have bought in the last, oh I don’t know. Long time. The best part about it though? I didn’t actually pay for it. I bought it with my airmiles. Because, sadly, I’m not going to be traveling anywhere…
Blueberry and Blackberry Smoothie
I have been sinking deeper and deeper into a state of sadness. Why, you all are probably wondering? Well, I have just finished grading the quizzes of the students in the first year calculus workshops that I’m running this year. And let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. I told myself at the beginning, right…
Cheesy Garlic Bread
The other day, I was at Safeway, strolling down the aisles, when I saw those pre-made garlic breads in the bakery section. You know those ones lathered in cheap margarine and garlic that would make your breath smell for days. I used to love those things. They used to be my dirty little secret. But…
