Ask me about something...
I’m starting to get bored and lazy by only writing about things that I already know a lot about. Yes, I could prattle on about shawarma for hours, or give you a complete rundown on making your own ginger ale, but I’m writing for an audience damnit! I can’t just wax poetic about all the things I like and expect my readers to follow along like lemmings following a piece of cheese...

3 Ingredient Tomato Sauce
I know what you’re probably thinking: “Kevin, you pretentious twat, this sauce has been around for years! The internet sensation surrounding it was monumental, and practically everyone in the online food community knows about it already.” Yeah, yeah, I know all that. But let me tell you, when I first heard about this sauce on Smitten Kitchen, I was more skeptical than...

Shawarma Carts
As many of you know, I work as a food writer for my college newspaper. My editors are lovely people, but sometimes I wonder if they know how much it costs to write about food every week when I’m not getting reimbursed. Usually its fine, because I would probably spend money on food anyway. But this week, since we have two weeks to write our articles (there’s no paper printed during...

Iraqi Food Cart
I’m usually not that big on fundraisers, but when I saw that there was a fundraiser with Iraqi food, I stopped reading and hopped on Google maps to see where I needed to go. If I had read a little bit more, I would realize that it was all the way in North Portland, in the not so nice area. ”Damn,” I thought, “how am I going to get up there?” Fortunately,...
WatchI know I don’t usually reblog, but this is a great way to break down a chicken. Its so much more satisfying to buy a whole bird and break it down. Plus, it allows you to have the portions of meat that you really want on each piece of chicken.

1 bird. 9 pieces. the easy way.

The Perfect Roasted Chicken
Lately, I’ve been on a quest to make the perfect roasted chicken. After some rigorous research and a few experiments, I think I have found a winner. Not only does this recipe produce amazing results, it’s quite possibly one of the easiest things I’ve made. This recipe is meant to pay homage to the magnificence of the bird we all know and love, the chicken. Being both a...

How to make your Kraft Mac and Cheese taste better...
Really? Mac and Cheese again? But I’ve already had Kraft Blue Box five times this week. It’s such a pain in the ass to be a college student sometimes. I can’t tell you how tired I get of the same food. Before coming to college, my aunt would always tell me about how often she ate Mac and Cheese, to which I arrogantly thought “Ha! That won’t happen to me.”...

Less than traditional Pasta Primavera
Yes, it’s springtime, and I love spring vegetables. I love the idea of making something with seasonal things, especially in this day and age where you can get tomatoes year round in the grocery store. That being said, I don’t have a great knowledge of what vegetables are in season during which times of the year, so I consulted my trusty friend, Google. If you type in...
