Grilled cheese is proof that beauty doesn’t have to be complicated. All you need is some bread, butter, and cheese to win over even the most hardened of hearts. I have nothing but fond memories involving this sandwich like when a drunk Jackson tried unsuccessfully to make one in a friend’s toaster at a party. Or when our…

Another great thing about this glorious season: it’s the best running outfit weather. I’m talking long sleeves and shorts. Hands down the best running clothes combination there is. I finally got to wear this winning combo the other day, when I ran a whole 5K! Did I ever feel great. And man, was I flying. Or at least…
Oh my goodness, I am so excited about this sandwich! One look at this monstrosity of vegetable goodness and you can see how it got its name. This one goes out to all you vegans out there with the appetites of a hungry, carnivorous T-Rex. Just because you can’t eat meat doesn’t mean your sandwich game has to suffer!…
It’s been one of those weeks where nothing in particular has gone wrong, but I’m so ready for it to be over. I’m pretty sure every human being on earth has had weeks like these. Weeks like these are kind of the worst because they’re not the worst. As in nothing has actually gone wrong so I have nothing…
My younger brother kindly informed me the other day that the food I make is pretentious. By the way, this younger brother of mine comes over every Sunday for dinner and help on his Econ homework. Which means I provide dinner and dessert while Jackson does his homework for him. And he had the nerve to call my food…
I went for my first run in a whole month and a half yesterday! I haven’t taken this long of a break since I started my oh-so-promising running career way back in 2006. Thanks to the wonders of high school pools and this thing called “walking” (It’s like running, only frustratingly slower), I have not lost my mind.…
This one time, I thought it might be the best idea ever to quit my desk job and become a baker. Imagine how exciting my life would become! My days would start at 2:30 AM (I’m not a morning person, but was sure I’d get over that. Besides, doesn’t 2:30 AM still count as the middle of the…
When you live with a person who hates soup with a passion, creativity is key. Like with a standard grilled cheese: The addition of tomato soup is not an option. It’s soup after all, and soup is just unacceptable. What is acceptable? A small cup of soup (AKA grilled cheese ketchup) exclusively for dipping. What a weirdo. But hey,…
