I apologize for the lack of content recently – I was pressed for time, between finishing up my psych rotation and relocating to Pittsburgh for a family medicine clerkship. The drive wasn’t bad – in fact, I made it here from Philly in only 4 hours. But when I decided to check out my accommodations, […]

After returning from my Costco run this weekend, I realized I had to start thinking of creative ways to get rid of the 4 lbs. of plums I purchased (seemed like a good idea at the time). I could have made some type of plum sauce, but since it’s July 4th weekend, something just had […]

I recently helped a friend pack up his apartment for a move and let him stay at my place because we had taken apart all of his furniture. The next morning his mother picked him up and bestowed upon me a giant bag of food and other items they wouldn’t be bringing to his new […]

Taking a trip to the grocery store can be more dangerous than you’d think. Waiting for you in each and every aisle are marketing ploys aimed at suppressing your better reasoning, the ultimate result being you making poor dietary or financial decisions – whether you know it or not (enter the 100 calorie pack, my […]

Owner & sole operator René will treat […]

Who doesn’t love fresh pasta? Don’t be intimidated by the thought of making your own at home – it’s simple and requires nothing you don’t already have in the house. It can be done in about an hour, start to finish, and the result is well worth the effort. Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, […]

I had a bag of my favorite Trader Joe’s tortilla chips in the pantry, and a few perfectly ripe avocados. I also got out of class early yesterday. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the perfect storm for some homemade guacamole! To be honest, the recipe I originally came up with involved toasted walnuts, but […]

I decided to take a snow day because a couple of lectures on dermatology and arthritis simply weren’t worth the dangerous road conditions (don’t worry, I’ll be streaming them later). I rarely have time to cook anymore, so I took this opportunity to try a new pancake recipe. These turned out to be some of […]

A watched pot never boils, but an unwatched grilled cheese sandwich will run like Sarah Palin from an interview with Katie Couric. I am, however, thankful that my friend caught it with just enough time for an emergency landing onto the glass, which is much easier to clean.
