{STUDENT LOANS}
I have not blogged in several months. No one has really even said anything, which is fine, good even. I press on.
A lot has changed in my life, I am no longer dirt poor. Well, that’s what I like to tell myself- but really I owe my good friend Sallie Mae a good sum and really have nothing to call my own.
After 4 months of working and going to Starbucks on each break and being generally reckless...

{Sweet Potato Empanadas- My very first made up...
Given my recent personal budget crisis, I have been having to get very creative with food and making meals only with ingredients I have at home. The perfect storm for my very first made up recipe. As I have previously mentioned, I always have sweet potatoes on hand. And of course the basic spices, flour, etc. Cassandra’s Sweet potato empanadas are born.

3 c. flour

{poor people fun}
So it was January 2nd. Holiday fun was over. All my loan money was gone. I LITERALLY had a budget of $15. “What the heck am I going to do for the next month of my Christmas break,” I asked myself…….
Well, break is done and I had SUCH a good time. Now, I’m not trying to say that these things were mind-blowingly awesome, and I’m not trying to say that you...

{For the Wisconsinite Doubters...}
Hello from Wisconsin everyone. I recently got back to my home state, and immediately started receiving comments from certain people that restaurant.com was not a good deal. Naturally, I was very saddened and looked into it. Well, turns out there are still very good deals in the Milwaukee area. I used the dream team (Yelp and restaurant.com) to come up with some suggestions for those hailing from...
Life is definitely in the way of my blog right now. I am finishing up the last semester of my undergraduate career, and when I am not doing that I am looking at Christmas lights while drinking peppermint mochas. I promise that after finals week I will blog about all of my little secrets. Maybe I’ll even do one when I’m procrastinating. Heres what I’m working on (what you have to...

tasty treats #1: sweet potato fries
My inspiration for this particular post comes from the delicious cinnamon-sugary smell wafting from my oven at this very moment. I thought it would be mean of me to not share it with you.
Sweet potatoes are my latest food obsession. Yes, I have some obsessions with food. I will keep a large supply of a certain type in my pantry and I will prepare and eat it many different ways for a couple months...

Good Deals #1: Restaurant.com
This one I can not credit to my own wile ways, I must give the credit to my boyfriend, Pierce. We have been able to go on some amazing dinner dates and get a ton of food because of this website he discovered. We went to a nice Greek place on 2nd Street in Long Beach, a bunch of cool restaurants in downtown Fullerton, a restaurant at Pike Place in Long Beach, and many more.
What you do is go on...

Creative Titles and Other Things not to Expect...
Well here I go. Beginning my very own blog despite the fact that I was a blog hater not too long ago. For this I apologize.
I’m pretty sure that if you are reading this you already know who I am, but if for some strange and wonderful reason you are reading this out of interest, welcome. My name is Cassandra and I am currently a senior at Biola University in California. I really like to cook...
Computer Illiteracy
OK, so, I am very excited to start this blog. Thing is, I want it to look pretty before I do. Other thing is, I have no clue how to do it. Furthermore, I have a Pharmacology test tonight that I haven’t even begun to study for. So I guess we’ll just have to wait one more day to learn about all of the exciting things that go on in my life. Sorry!
