I was talking with some friends on Spoutible a day or so ago about the best type of pies. Savory or sweet. I LOVE sweet pies. So much so that I haven’t had a birthday cake in years, opting for pie instead. This also makes it easier for anyone making it for me, to guarantee…

My Homemade Seitan (Chicken Flavor), School, & More!
Well, my friends, it has been a long time since I made a substantial post. This last year has been crazy! Travel alone to Hawaii, Australia, Germany, Italy, and France took up about 6 months! Boy was it fun though! Diving, researching, an amusement park I wish I could live in, amazing food, seeing…
What The Heck Kayla?! Where Have You Been???
I know right? Since I got back from Australia, it’s just been crazy—commencements, politics, diving, training, and helping Jaq recuperate from appendectomy surgery it’s just been crazy.

Yakisoba Yum! A Thanksgiving Treat
Thanksgiving is a HUGE holiday for my family. No, we don’t celebrate it to revere a group of people that arrived in a new world and took advantage of the indigenous people. Thanksgiving is a day of Thanks, in my family, and that means spending it together and being thankful for each other. So when…
Site Look Overhaul
Over the next couple of weeks, my blog may be ugly or malformed at times. 😄 I am having someone look into changing the look and layout as it seems to only work correctly in the Chrome browser. All other browsers and on mobile it falls apart. So please be patient while we work through…
