In yesterday’s post—apricot almond muffins, daughter-made and mom-approved—I talked a bit about how and why my mom has been on a mission to improve some of her eating habits. Full recap is here, but to sum it up: my mom has made a ton of healthy improvements in the last year, minimizing dairy, cutting back [...]

Today was the day after an epic exam, which means it should have been relatively empty.

The first time I tasted goldenberries, I swore I’d never eat them again. They were tart, the texture was strange, and they had none of the easy sweetness of goji berries or mulberries, of which I’m personally very fond.

Happy humpday! Having just spent a solid two hours working on impossible dilution problems with my fellow post-baccs, I can officially say that I’m glad the week is drawing to a close.
