It’s been real hot. These past few days have probably been the warmest of the entire year, really. And so while I was sitting at my desk with sweat rolling down my face after a long 6 hour school day of Zoom classes, I decided I was going to do something about it. First I…

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…
I made ice cream… with no ice cream machine!
You read it right. I made ice cream today, and without any fancy machinery! When I was looking for foods to make a week ago for my rapid blog series, I stumbled across a couple of interesting recipes that I thought to try later. Included on this list was this really neat homemade no-churn ice…
Day 5: Tuna Melt Sandwich!
Hey everyone! This is, unfortunately, the last day of my rapid blog series. Today was a little bit different. I only had until 12, noon, to make my dish because I was going to drive up to Tahoe in the afternoon. I didn’t want to make a meal that would yield a large amount of…
Day 4: Chinese + Vegan!
In an attempt to change things up a bit, today I tried out this new “Kung Pao Cauliflower” fusion recipe! Kung Pao Chicken is a very famous and popular Chinese dish that you can find at restaurants or especially fast food chains. It’s sweet, yet slightly mild sauce is what usually attracts most people to…
Day 3: Baking Time!
So today I decided to change things up try some baking. I found this fast berry cobbler recipe and thought: “Why not?” For a quick recap, the dessert was relatively basic and turned out a lot better than I thought (kind of a theme this week). It took around an hour and fifteen minutes to…
Day 2: Red Clam Chowder!
Yes, you read the title correctly… Today I made red clam chowder (tomato based)! As difficult as it sounds, I actually had a really great time putting the meal together. Even though I’m not much of a chef, the recipe that I used for the dish was super straight forward and basic. If you don’t…
Day 1: Beef Ragu Pasta
Hey everyone (sorry for the late post)! This is the first post of my rapid blog series. Today I cooked a pasta dish for dinner called beef ragu. The recipe was quite simple, but it still tasted very delicious. The tomato based sauce was super flavorful and yummy (think comfort food flavors), which complimented the…
Next Week: Rapid Blog Series!
Hey everyone! I hope your summer has been going great. I am writing this post to tell you that next week I will be doing something a little different on my blog. With all this extra time during the summer, I decided that it might be a cool idea to learn how to cook some…
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…
