Clamming to Clam Chowder

Yesterday I got up at 5:30. Why? I went clamming! While clamming might just seem like the act of gathering/catching clams, there’s a lot more to it than just that. After rolling out of bed and into the car, my family and I drove 2 hours to Lawson’s Landing, a fairly well known clamming location…

A Snack to Keep the Energy High

If I were to guess, ever since quarantine has hit, our snack consumption has gone up a bit. Obviously we’re at home more often, which means that, in general, we’re eating more food. And a lot of this food is probably snacks. It’s not unusual to feel hungry in between meals, especially if you’ve just…

Simple Foods put to Use

Beans, rice, onions… Does it get any more basic than that? While they might not be the most appealing to some, preservable foods are especially useful right now. With COVID-19 literally in the air, it’s nice to not have to go out for groceries as much (even though we get a lot of it online)….

Timely Takeout

For many of us, takeout during COVID is like a get out of jail free card. Cooking seven dinners a week isn’t easy at all, and so sometimes we’ll just order from one of our favorite spots. It’s fast and efficient. It can even save you a trip to the grocery store. That being said,…

Corona Cures (kind of…)

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing alright. I’m still sort of adjusting to virtual learning and being at home more often… The coronavirus (COVID-19) is no joke. In a matter of a a couple weeks, we’ve gone from leading a normal everyday life to only being able to go out of the house for…

Fermented all the Way!

I don’t know about you all, but fermented foods like kimchi and pickles are my favorite. Their tangy, acidic flavors are just so delicious and unique. They’re sort of like pallet cleansers, if you know what I mean. And the best part? They’re real healthy… Fermentation is basically this process in which a bunch of…

Butter with no Dairy?

Generally, I’m not really a butter person. Ever since I became attracted to avocado toast, butter hasn’t gotten a second glance in the refrigerator. Even when I was younger, the classic dairy product was still inferior to other garnishes like cream cheese or jam. However, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by my mom’s newest…

Meatless Mondays

Have you ever tried a vegetarian or vegan diet? It’s tough, because animal products are such a big part of the culinary world. It’s one of those things that you try with a super open mind and stick with it for maybe a week before dropping out. That’s why my family and I have decided,…
