Ah, frappuccinos. The deliciously caffeinated milkshake made with ice cream and cappuccino. What most people didn’t know is that the frappuccino originated in Boston from a coffee chain called The Coffee Connection. It was a deliciously well-kept secret until Starbucks bought The Coffee...
The best dish to order at any Indian restaurant is chicken tikka masala, no questions or debate about it. This dish is seriously one of the best things to eat, since it’s creamy, rich, and full of spices that you just can’t get in any sort of Western cuisine while having the warmth and...
We all have those days – where we just eat a little more than we know we should, where we know that we feel full but one more bite, or two, or even the whole thing is just too good to let up. We all have those days after as well, where our pants don’t fit just right, or even…
It’s the staple of our childhood lunches- what our parents made for us, tucked into our lunch satchels along with a carton of milk or juice, with some apple slices or celery sticks and some peanut butter. A peanut butter sandwich has so many ways it can be made- creamy or crunchy, with...

Egg rolls are a staple in Chinese takeout. Their crunchy outside, filled with shredded vegetables and dipped in a sweet and sour duck sauce is always the same- no matter what the other food is like. Fusion food these days is becoming more and more popular as America fills on new cultures that...
We all love cake. Marie Antoinette had the right idea, even if she was telling the wrong people at that time (historically speaking she didn’t actually say “let them eat cake”, but it’s fun to think so). No matter how you make it, a cake is delicious and what could be better than a...
