Choosing the Proper Coffee, for the Proper Occasion
Coffee, no matter the time or place, will always be there for you. Whether you are alone on a bark bench, or surrounded by friends, it all seems better with a mug of roasted bean blood. Sorry, that didn't sound as appealing as I initially imagined—I promise you I don't have psychopathic tendencies.

Low-Calorie Greek Turkey Meatball Gyros Recipe
It's only Tuesday today and I'm having a bad week already! Does anybody else have constant nagging thoughts in their head? My mum passed away almost two years ago now and I'm starting to really struggle without her. When she was alive people walked all over her because she was such a giving and loving person and I feel a lot of the time that she's still being disrespected in death. I suppose the only way I'm going to feel better is to express and share these feelings with the people involved but to top these thoughts off, my kids keep playing a game of who can out scream each other! If anybody has a headache, you can guarantee it is me!

The Best Iced Coffees in London
Coffee: The elixir of life. The cocoa coloured drink that awakens our senses, stirs our emotions, and fuels our fires. The humble coffee bean, whether it be Arabica or Robusta, shapes our world by keeping us going in our hours of fatigue and need.

Loaded Chicken & Potato Casserole
Before you start the main dish, make some bacon and set to the side to cool. I used eight slices or so. It really just depends on how much you love bacon (which should be a whole lot). I usually cook my bacon in a cast iron skillet. Great flavor, it doesn't stick, and you get to save all the leftover fat to cook other delicious things in. However, prepare it whatever way works best for you!

Loaded Potato Soup
This is my favorite potato soup ever. So easy to make. I make a large pot all at once. Everyone says to do this and freeze the leftovers for the future. I love this stuff so much that I just eat it until it's gone. One pot of this lasts me several days. However, if you're not into leftovers, this freezes easily and you can pop it out of the freezer and heat up in a hurry.

What's Wrong with Whole Foods?
I spent four years of my life in Decatur, GA attending college. Although I was born in New York, I identify closest with Georgian suburbs and the metro-Atlanta area. When I was in high school, one of my family’s favorite things to do on the weekends was to go the big Whole Foods store thirty minutes away. We loved their warm yet industrial interior and intense hot food bar selection, and colorful gelato. My parents loved the clean floors and selection of health food vitamins. I particularly loved their selection of cross-cultural foods. I felt like Whole Foods's selection gave me the tools to make almost any food I wanted to try. However, like many students, during college, I was too poor and too far from Whole Foods store to shop there. Alternatively, I would begin to shop at Decatur's local Dekalb farmer's market after hearing about their great prices on food. In my later years of college, I studied abroad in Germany and South Korea. It was this culmination of trips when I rapidly fell out of love with shopping at Whole Foods.

Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks
I am NOT a chef. I'm a ridiculously picky eater. And I don't know proper cooking terminology for roughly 80 percent of what I make. But, I do dig cooking. I find it to be soothing and, somehow against all odds, I stumble my way into some weirdly good food. More than half the time I don't even have proper measurements. So, I advise you to do what I do and adjust spices and whatnot to your liking.

Rosemary and Grapefruit Shortbread
Cookies are patient, Cookies are kind. Cookies do not envy, they do not boast, they are not proud. Cookies don’t dishonor others, they not self-seeking, they are not easily angered, they keep no record of wrongs. Whether they’re that one cookie your mom makes every once in a while, those square prepared cookies that lounge next to the butter in the grocery store, or those heinous and somehow good frosted sugar cookies that never, ever go bad, when you needed cookies, they were there for you. When your wallet's looking a little slim and you’ve got some thanking to do, flour, sugar, and butter are there to replace any tie or Cross pen. Cookies are humble. They don’t need to be set on fire, served brûlée, or served alongside a fine sherry. They don’t need a 3 Michelin star face-lift alongside goat’s milk ice cream and the finest Peruvian cacao nibs. I’m not saying I’d turn that shit away, but at 3 in the morning after a few too many I’ll happily down a Milano or Famous Amos or five. But every once in a while, I want to give cookies some love, take them from “sure I’ll have a cookie” to “where the hell did my cookies go?”
