It is safe to say that I have had copious amounts of Chinese food in the past two weeks. My family has a tradition of eating a Chinese buffet for Christmas and I ate A TON of it that day. I also ate Chinese food a couple of times in Boston’s Chinatown between Christmas and the New Year….

Curry Butternut Squash Lentil Soup
I haven’t posted in forever and I’m sorry about that. This past month has been a rollercoaster to say the least. I had some personal issues going on and grad school midterms/group projects that took up a lot of my time. But now, I am back! I promise! And I present to you this Curry…
Strawberry Balsamic Lettuce Wraps
I am so excited about the warm spring weather that recently came over Boston. Yesterday, everyone was sitting outside on the grass, riding bikes, walking their dogs, and indulging in picnics.
