Cooking And Eating When You Live Alone

It can be challenging to grocery shop, plan meals, cook, eat, and clean up when its only you. Add in trying to make nutritious meals, try new ingredients, and avoid relying on take-out, and you’ve got a lot of work cut out for you. But living alone gives you the opportunity to learn, to try new things, and to be more independent, and that’s awesome! It is possible to cook and eat healthy, delicious meals when you live alone WITHOUT spending hundreds of dollars on groceries and dozens of hours in the kitchen.

Should You Take Summer College Courses?

Quarantine has changed school for all of us. A lot of students (including me!) are trying to fill their summers with something other than their really cool internship or summer residency or volunteering or travel. I’ve taken a LOT of summer college courses, both in undergrad, and now I’ve got 6 credits of online grad school classes headed my way. Summer classes are sometimes known as the “easy way out”. But that’s not how I want to learn. I LOVE what I’m learning, so I WANT to dive in and get as much out of my summer courses as I can.

Homemade Pita Bread

I used to be intimidated by yeast breads, until I realized that they’re all just about the same. This bread dough recipe is excellent for pita bread, but I also use it for pizza crust, focaccia, sandwich bread…pretty much whatever I feel like making! I have a stand mixer with a dough-hook attachment and I LOVE it, but this recipe can easily be done by hand. If you don’t have a cast iron pan or griddle, you can use a non-stick pan or griddle. You may need to add a small amount of oil to the pan while you are cooking your pita.

Vegan Pineapple Banana “Naked” Juice

I’ve been making this Vegan Pineapple Banana “Naked” Juice all the time lately! It’s fresh, its fun, and chock-full of vitamins and minerals! My secret ingredient is coconut water! It’s full of electrolytes and even the unsweetened versions have carbohydrates. Coconut water is a fun alternative to using milk in my smoothies when I just want something light and refreshing (like this recipe!)

Grow Your Public Speaking Confidence: Tips For College Students

Today, I’m sharing my best tips for growing your public speaking confidence! Anyone who has met me KNOWS that I love public speaking! But I didn’t always...I used to be scared of public speaking, and I know a lot of college students would rather write a 10 page paper than give a 10 minute speech. Being a confident public speaker can also open the doors for unique opportunities out in the real world and definitely looks AMAZING on your resume and cover letter.
