Despite my lack of cool food photography skills, I am starting this compilation of food obsessions, recipe attempts, travels, and thoughts as a way to continue apartment #301’s adventures in food when I’m no longer on the beautiful west coast! Follow my hopes to suppress separation anxiety from my bi-coastal roomies!

I am known to use whatever’s in the kitchen, trying to stretch my college budget and am always happy to make a meal to bring people together. Currently I want to learn how to grill, experiment with marinades, and nail down hosting fun dinner parties!

Some of favorite culinary inspirations come from the Barefoot Contessa, Rachael Ray, Sprouted Kitchen’s Sara Forte, Jill Donenfeld, Chrissy Teigen, SpoonForkBacon, Deb Perelman, Emeril Lagasse, Roble Ali (ok I’m like obsessed with the show), and Richard Blais
