The politics behind changing the contents of school lunches is so convoluted that when you really look into it, it seems impossible to change the laws of what constitutes a healthy lunch (ex: most of them are based on the old "food pyramid" criteria and potatoes [i.e. french fries] are a vegetable). I attended the Just Food conference in 2012 and some of the sessions were really eye opening. Yuck: A Fourth Grader Reveals What School Lunches Really Look Like |

If ever there is freshly whipped cream left over from a meal or a holiday, I'll sneak into the kitchen while everyone else is digesting and eat the remnants. Sometimes it's a spoonful, sometimes it's 2 cups... I finish it all. Then run my finger around the bowl to get every last bti. And now I'm ashamed.

That rule made me sit back and stare in shock. Who makes FIFTY TIMES their rent?! The only way I got around this is I moved to Astoria (a notoriously cheaper neighborhood) and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my boyfriend.

I am salivating just looking at this dish. My significant other does not care for cauliflower but I feel like with all the other flavors here, he probably won't even notice the taste. It's worth a shot! Recipe: Pan-Roasted Cauliflower & Pasta with Tomato-Cream Sauce Recipes from The Kitchn |

I love this post, and not just for people living in a new city. I find myself at 28 years old, living in the same city, but with most of college friends moving away.

I hate that weird, slimy texture they acquire in liquids so I avoid adding them to anything soupy. I sprinkle them on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! I like the crunch and somehow it makes the treat feel a little healthier. 5 Ways to Eat Chia Seeds for Breakfast |

I'm not sure I agree with your first commandment. Sure, a WalMart piece is not worth paying a lot for but if you like it and it's made of quality materials (and yes, some cheap furniture is) than why not buy it?

@Chef Winston, I am in your boat!!! It's disgusting, it's full of fat, salt, and empty calories, but once or twice a year I buy a tiny Stouffer's lasagna and I enjoy every tiny bit of it. What's Your Secret Grocery Store Indulgence? |
