	Recipe suggestion: Soy-Sesame Zucchini by Beki PagesI may not have tons of time to tell you all about what I've been making myself, but here is something I found that will appear on my building's menu next week. The whole blog looks pretty cool, and includes nice pictures, but I really should get back to writing... ick.Soy-Sesame Marinated Zucchini (original found here)4-6…	1 vote 353 views

	S--er, Tuesday Splurge: Ginger Syrup and Candied Ginger by Beki PagesThese go together because one is the result of the other. Unless you set out to make them both intentionally, which is even better! This 'recipe' takes a decent bit of time, but not a lot of attention. I think it's a cool use for left-over ginger, though you could also peel it, wrap it up and keep it in the freezer (thanks,…	1 vote 438 views
	Saturday (non) Splurge: No-bake Cheesecake by Beki PagesYou know, I just realized after typing this all up that it's not actually a splurge at all! It's delicious. It's pretty darn healthy. You could easily replace the sugar with your favorite other sweetener if you'd like to decrease the carbs and calories (listed at the end) even further. This is just good food. Let me give you a…	1 vote 360 views
	Broccoli Kale Salad with Ginger Sesame Vinaigrette by Beki PagesWell, the other day I realized that there was a giant box of Kale that was delivered last week and not used in its destined recipe. Sad, because a good bit of it had gone bad. Cool because it gave me an excuse to use it. There was also ginger from last week. Again, a pity that it wasn't used. But what luck for me! Today's menu…	1 vote 537 views
	Baked Kale Chips by Beki PagesOk, not a lot other than the recipe tonight. 7 Class days left! 17 days til my last final (25 pg paper) due! But, I cannot forget my public. Especially when my little sister (who tasted these over Easter) asked where the recipe is. Here you go.The drying is important here, since you want them crispy in the end. And you can salt…	1 vote 569 views
	Saturday Splurge: Lemon Ricotta Muffins by Beki PagesFirst, a big apology. My only post this whole week. I had a big presentation on Wednesday for my statistics class (ugh) and I have a 20-25 page paper due on Monday at 3:30. Not. fun. But, that's what they pay me to be here for and all, so I'll do it. You just can't make me smile about it. At least not during the last 3 weeks of…	1 vote 436 views
	Saturday Splurge: Birthday Cupcakes with Boiled Icing by Beki PagesOk, this one is on the healthy side for a good scratch cake, especially one that's iced, but the boiled icing can be a MAJOR pain, which means it's going into the Saturday section for that reason alone. One of my friend here turned 22, and she often makes things for other peoples' special events, so I thought it was fitting to…	1 vote 470 views
	Spaghetti Carbonara by Beki PagesWell, I have made this twice now, and still no picture. I think that it does not want to be photographed. The first time I just forgot. The second time, I almost forgot. Then I ran upstairs for the camera, brought it down, switched to macro, clicked the button and.... the battery died. Fine. Good news is that it worked well…	1 vote 505 views
