Salmon with Mango Salsa
Written by Michaella Last week I cooked fish for the first time, without adult supervision. I was nervous because seafood is “fancy.” It’s something that marks a special occasion or serious culinary expertise. There is danger involved – mercury levels and the possibility of food poisoning being on my mind as I placed the blue [...]
A spoonful of tomato sauce
Written by Michaella I’m going to let you in on a secret. It’s my tomato sauce. The recipe I have been tweaking and perfecting for some time now. A good tomato sauce can make a meal from just a bit of bread and olives. The entire character of Italian cuisine can be summed up in [...]
The New Pavement
Review written by Gabrielle For the roomies and me, our favorite Sunday morning source of bagels was Espresso Royale Cafe on Gainsborough St. right near Northeastern’s campus. ERC is no longer there, but instead has been remodeled into the new and improved cafe, Pavement. The old ERC has actually been independent from the Espresso Royale [...]
The Elephant Walk
Review written by Emily Restaurant week in Boston is so great that it lasts TWO weeks! With everyone’s busy schedule we were only able to take advantage of one night out with the special menu. I’ve always wanted to go to The Elephant Walk and was pleasantly surprised to learn that they participate in restaurant [...]
Chickpeas, Four Ways
Written by Michaella My pantry shelf is boring. If someone were to take a look inside, they would come across the following: coffee, a ridiculous amount of tea, almonds, cereal and an even more ridiculous amount of chickpeas.

Five-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
I found this recipe at ivillage.com. They have a great selection of recipes reviewed and uploaded by readers. Personally, I love to end my meals with some chocolate but chocolate desserts tend to be complicated and time consuming. Luckily, this cake claims to only take five minutes to make! I can’t wait to try this [...]
Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers
I love a good veggie burger, especially one that is creative and different. I don’t think I have ever eaten or made one with sweet potato, but what a good idea! Sweet potatoes are delicious, healthy and cheap! I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest and the avocado on top is definitely what drew me [...]
Lentil and Kale Soup
Who doesn’t crave soup when it’s 75 degrees out? On what seemed like the hottest day of the semester, I decided to make soup. Despite the 75 degree weather outside, I was craving a piping hot bowl of soup. Instead of going to Au Bon Pan and spending $4 on a small cup of soup [...]
