Cooking Simplified
In addition to the countless papers and presentations, being a part-time graduate student has introduced me to an entirely new community in NYC. Given that all of us are passionate about communications, I was bound to meet some fellow bloggers in class – and in fact, I met Adriana and Sarah of A New York …
This is one of those “I can’t believe I’m posting this non-recipe” recipe posts. It’s just a matter of cutting a few things up and tossing them together. On the other hand, when I find something I love (and feel good about eating) I can’t help but share. If you have a Wegmans or Whole …
