We all love trying the latest diets in a quest to skim some inches off our waistlines and get our bodies in shape for the latest fashion trends. One such diet is the paleo diet, which many people actually swear by. It consists of only eating food the way humans would have before agriculture was...
When you think of Boston, you might think of the American revolution, or better yet, the Boston cream pie. This dessert has a history longer than you might think, spanning all the way to 1865 – only a hundred years after the American revolution! This decadent cake features cake layers with...
Banana cake is a novel concept, but not an altogether unusual one. We have so many different types of cakes, such as strawberry cake and mango cake. While most fruity cakes have an artificial flavor that you can always taste, this one is different because it only uses real bananas. By making the...
We all know someone that hates seafood- maybe that person is even you. And even if they (or you!) don’t hate seafood, they’ll refuse to eat anything beyond maybe a nice can of tuna, or a filet of salmon. While this crab cake recipe might seem like an extremely new thing to them, this recipe...
We all crave a cold, refreshing drink to cool us down on a hot day. What we all don’t crave is the diluted flavor we get if we don’t chug a drink fast enough. Because of this, ice cubes have become a problem in drinks- we love to have them for their temperature and abilities to cool us down...

The best way to get over last night’s hangover is by downing a bloody mary with the rest of your brunch to start your day. Sadly for most of us, this is not possible when we have work or classes the next day – especially on Mondays. Truly, Monday is the worst day of the week, since it...
Even though it’s not taco Tuesday yet, it’s never a bad time to enjoy an enchilada. The only problem that comes with an enchilada is the massive amount of calories that leave us all bloated in the morning, making it difficult, if not impossible, to get into our favorite pants the next day...
We all know that apple pies are American, but apples are also a great sign that autumn (or fall, whichever you prefer) is upon us and that apples are ripe for the picking. While churros aren’t the most American nor the best symbol of Autumn, their flavors go amazingly well with apples and...
Do you love corn? It’s the amazing vegetable that works as a starch and vegetable. You can use it in anything, and it will be amazing. Like avocados and potatoes, it has a subtle flavor that lends itself to any thing, any where, any time! Corn is a staple in Hispanic foods, such as Mexican...
