Freshman year of college is officially over! We moved back home this Tuesday. It feels good to be home, but we’re going to miss school and our friends who live throughout the country this summer- it’s certainly an adjustment going from being surrounded by thousands of other people your age to being with your family…

Pistachio-Crusted Asparagus with Feta
After a power outage and some technical difficulties, I am finally getting a post up this week. Yay! Luckily, it’s a post about something delicious. I know, this is our second vegetable post in a row. I don’t know what’s come over us either! Asparagus is one of our favorite vegetables, but it is so…
Broccoli Slaw
Gosh, I guess it’s time for a blog post, right? Our blog has been sorely neglected- last week we were at college orientation and then on vacation in New Hampshire. Needless to say, there hasn’t been too much cooking going on in our kitchen, but we’re trying to get back to it. The food at…
Greek Pasta Salad
We only have two more days of being high school seniors! Saturday (graduation) we’ll be considered college freshmen instead. It still hasn’t really sunk in that I won’t be going to my high school anymore- we’ve been over there a bunch of times over the past two weeks for graduation practices and such, not to…
Lighter Poppy Seed Dressing on a Strawberry, Parmesan, and Almond Salad
Today is our eighth snow day of the school year! I find it funny that we originally had today off, but after our first few snow days the administration made today a school day again. Unfortunately for them, it snowed yesterday and last night, so today got re-cancelled. I personally really like snow, but I…
Honey-Lime Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos
Are you a Hunger Games fan? For me, Harry Potter will always be #1, but I have to admit, I really, really liked Catching Fire. It was cast very well (Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Liam Hemsworth…you can’t go wrong with them), the special effects were great, and I may or may not have been…
Baked Potato Wedges
French fries can be fickle. Sometimes they’re not worth the calories at all- lukewarm, soggy, saltless, and tasteless hunks of potato that make you wish that you had chosen a salad side with your burger instead. On other occasions, though, they are impossible to stop eating, with their crispy exterior, perfect level of seasoning, and…
Sweet Corn Cakes with Tomato-Avocado Relish
Sometimes I wonder what my favorite fruit is, and then it comes to me- avocado! I love it in guacamole best, but most recipes that have it are great! Although I recently saw bloggers make cookies and pudding with avocado, and I am not too sure about those…I question such a choice (there is no way…
Grilled Ratatouille Muffaletta Sandwich
Our family has a subscription to Martha Stewart Living Magazine, and the two of us and our mom love it because it has beautiful things in it- gorgeous fashion tips, classy decor, and pictures with the most golden light you ever saw. They also make whipping up a fancy 3-course meal complete with a decorated tables…
Feta, Roasted Red Pepper, and Spinach Pizza
If you haven’t been able to tell before, we love pizza. If it’s good pizza, we wouldn’t mind eating it every day. It’s always fun to try new variations on the classic pizza (even though that doesn’t need much improvement). So, here is our latest pizza creation: a crisp pizza crust topped with a super…
