I love finding small places with good eats. I don’t really care for fine dining or an exceptional dining atmosphere. With that said, today I stopped by Smitty’s Wings & Things:

I started noticing this cart off of Main Street near Chanellos and the Car Quest  just a few weeks ago. Turns out, it’s only been [...]


tragic, I know

For the past month or so, I’ve been waking up each morning in prayer. Not the kind you force yourself to do, not the kind you do out of discipline, but just a genuine attempt to love on God as soon as I’m half conscious. Every day I tell God that the day is His, [...]

I used a marinade I learned from Lisa, primarily made of balsamic vinegar + honey. I grew up on fried cabbage, so it’s always been one of my favorites. I also chopped some onions in there to caramelize and give it great flavor and sweetness. This meal probably cost me a little under $2.

Some of you remember the cooking streak I went on last summer. This summer is slightly different. I’m not living at home. I’m actually at JMU until mid-July for graduate school. I also don’t have a meal plan anymore. During the school year, I either ate on campus, or ate out. Every day. In retrospect, that [...]
