Philadelphia Apartment Tour
Welcome to my first installment of home tours! I thought my Philadelphia apartment tour would be a good place to start since I moved out 1 year ago.

Grilled Jalapeño Poppers
Now that we have crossed into the summer season, it’s time to grill all the food! If you’re anything like me, you try to use the grill as often as possible in the warmer months of the year. And by that, I mean that I try to eat at friends’ houses who have a grill…because I do not. This grilled…
