Fast Food Done Right
In today's world, it is no longer a valid excuse to say, “I did not know fast food is bad for me”. It is also no secret that fast food giants such as McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy’s to name a few, have been a big part of our lives for the past seventy plus years. These corporations have spent billions if not trillions over that time investing in our hearts, minds and stomachs. As kids we grew to either fear or absolutely love that red white and yellow clown we all knew as Ronald McDonald. The red pigtails of Wendy’s sticking up and her freckles popping out of her cheeks as she welcomed us with her smile. And oh how the kids loved The King.

The First Sign of Summer
Recently, as the NYC weather finally starting getting better, my boyfriend and I began the season-long "what do you want to do today" argument, because warm weather means emerging out of the comfort of your Blanket Burrito and Netflix, and returning to the outside world. As always, I'm going to want to go out to eat. The issue with that though is the simple fact that neither of us is the richest person alive—or even richest in our neighborhood. The struggle to find good food on a budget is super real, and oftentimes leads to some sort of bickering.

How People Prepared Food in the Dark Ages
Cooking is one of the most human acts that you can perform. The art of cooking is something that has bonded people together, become a part of our cultural identities, and also become part of our history. Though the very basics of cooking never seem to change, the truth is that cooking styles do change over the years.

Move Over Basil. Mint and Feta Are the New Flavor Essentials of Summer
When the first of the summer vegetable and fruit crops start to ripen, simple preparations are all that are wanted. A ripe peach or watermelon eaten by hand with their juices dripping down chins and hands is just perfect. So is corn on the cob, steamed or boiled, with butter and salt. Or fresh zucchini sautéed in olive oil and garlic.

How Will We Eat in the Future?
The world’s population is increasing. It’s projected to rise from 7.4 billion people in 2016 to 9.2 billion people in 2050. That’s 1.8 billion extra mouths to feed in a world where, even now, people often go hungry. What’s needed is a revolution in how our food is grown, delivered and prepared. By using technology to further advance crop and meat production, the human race could create a sustainable future for not only our planet but for generations to come.

How to Make Queso Fresco. Top Story - July 2017.
If you ever have gone to an authentic Mexican restaurant, you may have noticed that the cheese there isn't in "string" form. Instead, it's a white, crumbly substance that is savory, crumbly, and cheesy. This substance, as you might know, is queso fresco — and it's amazing!

The Vegan/Vegetarian Challenge (Veganuary)
Earlier this year I met some friends who are dedicated vegans and they were promoting Veganuary (a month of eating vegan only food). This was so that people could take advantage of the fact that they are filled with a desire to change their lifestyle into something healthier after the excesses of the festive period. It’s also very good on your wallet as it’s a lot cheaper than buying meat on a regular basis. While I wanted to join them, I wasn’t sure how I would go about doing that and I had decided to undertake a different challenge and that was Dryanuary. This is where you give up alcohol for a month which I achieved, although it was not without its difficulties as I was still undergoing a healthy eating challenge but I was very happy about the result it produced. I also repeated the experiment abroad, 3 months later, with my family; however, we did slip up for Easter which was in the middle of this abstinence.
