Before I start, I want to say sorry for the late post. I guess I was enjoying the holiday so much that I didn’t actually get the chance to write about it! Thanksgiving has a lot of great attributes like no HW or the fact that you just get to hangout, but, obviously, my favorite…

Another Great Home Dish
This post might be a bit repetitive, but I just had to write about another great home dish, as you can tell from the title. Think to yourself. Have you ever remade a dish for dinner because it was so tasty at lunch? Recently, my mom did just that with the Grilled Chicken Salad from…
Looks can be deceiving
When I first looked at my mom’s pork couscous dish, I thought it would be more of a “superfood” meal. Instead, I tasted a delicious combination of tomatoes, cheese, and pork all on top of some Israeli couscous. To you, couscous might seem like a grainy substitution for rice, but the Israeli style one tasted…
Healthy Harvest
You may think that ripping kale shreds into a bucket may be boring, but to me, it’s actually quite enjoyable. In my Stewards in Action Class at Woodside Priory, I was given the opportunity to do some vegetable picking (there were too many people doing the other activity). Jill, the person who helps out in…
Savoring The Stew
If there’s one food I can eat at least five nights in a row, it’s my grandmother’s stew. Usually when she visits, I look forward to her humorous character and great massages. But this time, my mouth was excited for stew. There are many variations of this dish, but her’s (not being biased) totally blows…
Help The Hungry
I don’t know if you know this, but one out of ten people don’t have food in the bay area. In my school bulletin, I saw an opportunity to receive a grant from a company called Tutor Corps to fund a project that would help people in my community. I thought that being food insecure…
Julianna’s Big Impact At My School
It might seem weird writing about a person who passed away four days ago, but it’s also meaningful. Julianna, a person I never got to know, seemed like the greatest lunch lady to ever work at a school. Unfortunately, after a hard battle with cancer on Monday, she went on to the next stage of…
Think Before You Drink
Let’s think… Cows are expensive, very expensive. To own (and use) one cow would require a large amount of land, resources, and most of all, water. That’s right, WATER. On average, it takes 1434 gallons of water to get a gallon of milk! That being said, you can probably say every couple of sips from…
How is it Even Possible?
When I watch various food contests on TV and see people finishing off their 70th hot dog, cookie, or chicken wing of the day, I can’t help but think, “How is it even possible?” I mean, it’s hard to think that someone can consume that many calories in 10-20 minutes. Another “gross” fact I think…
Is It Really That Good?
“Ohh, Nate that looks good,” my cousin Christina might say to me on an average day of watching television, but the question is, really? All those food adds you see when waiting for your program to continue typically show items that look extremely appetizing (many fast food restaurants). The thing is, when you actually go…
