Week 19

Hello! And welcome to Lunch of the Week! We're officially on the one month countdown until we leave New York and head back to Nova Scotia for the winter. I have very mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I will be glad to live in the woods in the quiet, smelling pine trees (and…Read More

Four Banana Muffins

“Oatmeal raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason I have trust issues” – Ancient Internet Proverb I would argue that the same goes for many other food pairings. Vanilla and white chocolate. Strawberry jam and cranberry sauce. 7Up and Tonic Water. Or THE WORST: chicken salad and tuna salad (A…Read More

Cobb(ish) Salad
