I cannot wait to edit my second video, review the awesome cookbooks and kick-ass food memoir that I finally finished, and post more recipes, but my schoolwork and real-life responsibilities have been taking center stage as of late. You’re gonna have to settle for my Instagrams as today’s post, ye loyal readers.

Banana muffins for the soul

My go-to après gym snack: peanut butter on banana, washed down with low-fat milk. Basically, a deconstructed smoothie.

Yellowtail roll w/ brown rice

Red velvet cupcakes w/ cream cheese frosting for my friend Irina’s birthday

Rene and I recently spent a weekend visiting friends in Williamsport, PA; Acme BBQ is always a highlight of our trips there. Their pulled pork is still the best I’ve ever had, and the brisket is incredible as well.
