https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFpof06AhZk Ice cream cream puffs are one of my favorite treats on a hot day, but I find that buying the tiny frozen puffs in stores are really not worth the price. The outside crust is not as crisp as a cream puff’s exterior should be, and there is not a large variety in flavor. These cream puffs are quite...

Egg tarts have always been my go-to purchase at Asian bakeries and a must-have for dimsum. However, it is so difficult to find yummy egg tarts in the Inland Empire. Sure, some bakeries in the area make egg tarts, but it’s always stored in the fridge. In my opinion, egg tarts should be eaten while they are still warm....

My favorite holiday in elementary school was one that was often overlooked.

Sometimes my class would make groundhog headbands, sometimes we would watch the recording of Punxsutawney Phil making his prediction for...
Growing up my mother would make us breakfast burritos when she had the time. Bean, egg and cheese, or ham, egg and cheese and my favorite, chorizo, egg and cheese. Despite loving chorizo, I was constantly put off by the texture and the fact it consisted of mushed up animal byproducts. I stopped eating chorizo in my teen years...

It can be difficult to find peppermint bark...

We’re halfway through October, midterms are coming up and Riverside weather is starting to cool down. If you’re in need of a good stress bake or just want a way to get into the fall spirit, apple cinnamon turnovers are the way to go– college student style, of course. This recipe only uses 6 ingredients, and can be modified...
The dope idea for this recipe for students by students was first inspired by my Student Life coworker Jessenia Sanchez. I was volunteering for the R’Pantry at the time of the idea pitch and decided to take action to figure out how we could realize it. With blessings from The Well, we aimed to use items already provided by...
Time and time again, Kit Kats prove to be the favorite out of the large range of American candies, whether it be children avidly seeking for them on Halloween day or ravenous Highlander writers diving headfirst for the Kit Kats from Jasmine’s candy jar at Monday meetings. They’re crunchy, they’re chocolatey and they’re just simply amazing. Unlike what we...
