Natural vs. Organic

I recently watched this video that mocks what the advertising industry has been classifying as “natural.” The man narrating the Only Organic promo plays the boss at the infamous False Advertising Industry. He chuckles that people will buy a bag of chips if it says “natural” on it just because it seems fresh and inviting. […]

Shepherd’s Pie

Well, guess I’m a little late for New Year’s sooooo, happy almost new month, guys! I would say my excuse for not writing is school and work, but to be honest it’s truly been a unmotivation to blog. Bloggers go through phases, right? All I’ve felt like doing after homework is watching Netflix, knitting and […]

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

I hope everyone had a relaxing and happy day yesterday! Cobalt and I spent another year with his family, opening stockings, eating homemade eggnog cinnamon rolls, sharing presents and enjoying lunch with their grandmother.

It was a […]

How to Make Homemade Rolls

Ever since my mom taught me how to bake my own bread I’ve avoided buying it from the store. Not only does homemade bread TASTE better but it’s such a joy to make. Having the opportunity to add whatever ingredients I want to it–aside from the basic recipe–and actually to be AWARE of what ingredients are in it!…to touch the dough, to shape it, to […]

Peanut Butter Granola Cookies

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love peanut butter! I’ll stir it into oatmeal, yogurt fruit dip, pasta, granola bites and smoothies! This cookie recipe I made the other day was originally an oatmeal chocolate chip recipe but I — of course — modified it to go with the ingredients that I […]
