Smooth Spinach

The other week a friend from class came over to teach me how to cook a traditional hot pot style meal. She assigned me a list of veggies and greens to bring to the hot pot, while she bought the traditional meat and other items. Because there were going to be four of us eating, … Continue reading →

Amy’s Kitchen

Have you heard of Amy’s Kitchen? I don’t remember when I first discovered Amy’s frozen meals but I do remember what caught my eye- the vegetable pot pie. I love pot pie and after reading the nutritional facts (not awesome but not terrible… I mean it is a pot pie) and that it was vegetarian … Continue reading →

Review: Kashi’s TLC Cereal Bars

I kept hearing great things about how good they taste and healthy. Every time I walked up to them at the store I was like wah, that … Continue reading →
