My younger cousin and I made some funny mustache cupcakes today! I baked the cupcakes in a muffin top pan in order to have shorter,wider cupcakes to be able to decorate on.

The Adventure Begins

This coming school year I am embarking on a culinary adventure on a grand scale in a small scale space. I will be living in a dorm room with a roommate, and I intend on cooking several meals a week for myself in this tiny space.

The last time I was living on campus was 2 years ago, as a freshman. I discovered that most of the food served in our dining commons was not beneficial to my dietary health. To avoid any future stomach-related trips to the ER and other digestive dramas, I have made it my mission to cook myself healthier, picky-stomach-approved food in the comfort of my tiny dorm room.

The plan is to loft my bed to save floor space and create my kitchen area underneath. Ingredients will come from things I manage to smuggle out of the dining commons, grocery stores, Wal-Mart, and a local farmers market. – all on a college budget, of course!

Join me this summer, as I gather the appliances, cooking tools, and ideas for my tiny kitchen and this coming Fall semester, as the adventure begins!
