Recipe: Tofu Lettuce Wraps.

5

Ah, poor tofu. The butt of every vegetarian joke. Tofu is actually quite fantastic IF you make it right. (My college cafeteria used to serve it cold and plain at the salad bar…NOT good.) It’s tasty and filling and full of protein. A tofu recipe that doesn’t require pressing or marinating makes these a stapleRead the whole post >>

On Picking my Camera Again.

I got an iPhone at the beginning of this year. (And had a new iPod touch for the end of last year, before returning it for an iPhone) (Which, by the way, the 5th generation iPod touch is AMAZING.

exhale. Oh, hi. I am alive and not kidnapped. Just spent the whole weekend trying to migrate to a new host (Bluehost – where I host all my other sites). I bought a premium plugin to help me do it, but it turned out to be a Very Bad Idea because it didn’t migrate theRead the whole post >>

Oh, hi. I hope you’re having a good Friday. I have something pretty to show you. So, I got an iPhone this month. The first app I downloaded was Instagram because, well, photos + social media = my dream. (Although it turns out I mostly take pictures of food. Sorry.) InstaThis is a website (withRead the whole post >>

Grown-Up Taste Buds.

28

Many adults recount the things they’ll eat now that they wouldn’t touch as a kid – like onions, tomatoes, or peas. We generally start out pickier and learn to try new tastes and textures. We learn that, hey, goat cheese is actually fabulous and fresh tomatoes were only gross because they weren’t in season. Well, I grewRead the whole post >>

I usually pair it with a bright jewel tone shirt because I don’t really like wearing black. Color is my friend! I amRead the whole post >>
