Hey all! I’m taking a few days off of work this week, as well as from blogging. But no fear, I’ll be back next week with a new tasty recipe, I promise! Have a great week!
You never know when inspiration will strike! A little while ago I found myself in the grocery store, wandering around, waiting for something interesting to catch my eye. I happened upon the prepared sushi section where I found a favorite–veggie sushi. But this version was different; it had a beautifully red-hued mayonnaise splashed on top,…
The fridge finally arrived on Tuesday! Yippee! Though this is still an apartment-size fridge, it’s quite a bit bigger than my previous one. There is so much room inside I don’t know what to do with myself! The only downside is that the light is kinda funky. It’s a very pale blue that hardly lights…

My name is Brooke and I’m a cheese-aholic. It was a sad, sad day when I became lactose-intolerant shortly after starting college. No more milk, cheese or ice cream? Sob! Things have gotten better since then—there are a myriad of lactose-free alternatives; Lactaid milk is a Godsend; and Cabot Cheese has a wide variety of lactose-free…
