…and THAT is Why Cooking is Evil

Well, at least it tasted good.

To attempt to accomplish my goals of saving money and eating healthier, I’ve taken it upon myself to make, rather than buy, many food items. Yes, I am trying my hand at cooking! (God help me, and all of those who get to eat my concoctions. But I digress.).

For example, the vegan staple: hummus. Continue reading

That Back-to-School Feeling

When I was growing up outside of Buffalo NY, the first day of school was the Wednesday after Labor Day.

I mean this in the best possible way – I can still smell the crisp air, feel the cool breeze, hear the first fallen leaves crackling under my shoes, and sense the excitement over the upcoming Buffalo Bills season.
