On the very first night of Camp Wapsie’s 3-week leader-in-training program, my friend Cori and I stood in line waiting for our chili dinner. When we got to the front of the line, we asked the camp chef, William, for the vegetarian option. As he picked up the second, slightly smaller pot to serve us, […]

This week’s opinion is that Trader Joe’s non-food items are better than their food items. As someone who takes almost weekly trips to Trader Joe’s, there is no doubt that I am a fan of their products.

I also have covered multiple of their songs in various music groups, such as “Sunflower” in […]

My very first weekly favorites blog post was writing about chocolate milk. Now, the weather outside is too cold, and my week of loving chocolate milk has flipped into a hot cocoa phase. Hot cocoa is the perfect wintertime drink, and I love making it almost as much as I love drinking it. Like chocolate […]

As I hit submit on an application for a college thousands of miles away, there is no questioning one statement: I am sick of my hometown. However, here are 3 things I did these past few weeks that made my hometown life a lot more fun.  I was obsessed with trampoline parks as a kid. […]

I could write an entire blog post about Pinterest, and I most definitely will in the future. However, today I want to talk about Pinterest and how it influences and inspires my vegetarian cooking and eating. My largest Pinterest board (behind clothes of course) is my food board. Titled “yum,” this board documents only the […]
