Simple Japanese Breakfast Soup

I remember making this soup for the first time in the winter of 2015. It was my first year teaching, I had to wake up before the sun rose, and I had been sick for what felt like months from stress. At that time, I lived in a terribly insulated house with roommates, and weContinueContinue reading “Simple Japanese Breakfast Soup”

You know those mornings when you wake up and gawk at the time, even though you know you’ve snoozed your alarm six times? You jump out of bed and begin scrambling through your normal morning routine at 10x speed. As you throw clothes on and gather your belongings together, coffee and food are the onlyContinueContinue reading “No-Bake Peanut Butter Bombs”
