Through my internship this semester, I have been able to connect with and learn from a lot of people. At the beginning of the semester, I still got jitters about speaking in front of class. Now I have had the opportunities to teach hour-long nutrition classes to both kids and adults. Without the help of…

Campus Snacks
Imagine: you’ve been in class all morning and the hunger pangs strike. You did not pack any snacks with you and you do not have any time to go home or off campus. You resort to buying something at school. If you’re like me, this happens almost everyday. I will never learn apparently. Just about…
My First Açaí Bowl
Last Wednesday, I was exhausted and sweaty after teaching two gardening classes at the youth detention center and the Salvation Army in Yuba County. It was conveniently the first really hot day we’ve had this year. After I worked all day, I had to do the dreaded house hunting. It was fun at first but…
The Impossible Burger
My sister visited me all the way from the land of Seattle. If that doesn’t warrant and excuse to buy an expensive burger at The Banshee, I don’t know what does. We actually split it, so it was around $7 each. It is a huge burger; I would not have finished it by myself. I…
I Go Here Way Too Much..
I’m talking about Celestino’s! I realized that I have posted a lot of junk vegetarian foods on here and I will probably continue that theme. After all, I like to splurge when I go out. I can make plenty of healthy stuff at home. Now with that disclaimer out of the way, I can take…
Tea Bar & Fusion Cafe
This is a restaurant that has been on my radar ever since transferring to Chico State. I am a big fan of tea, which is what initially called my attention to Tea Bar & Fusion Cafe. Last weekend, my parents were in town and it seemed like a great place to go with them. I…
Ike’s Love and Sandwiches
Sandwiches have always been one of my favorites foods to eat ever since I was young. One of the reasons they are such a favorite with me is their versatility. You can basically put anything you want in between two pieces of bread and call it a sandwich. They can also be eaten on the…
Brunch with Friends
For a Sunday morning brunch, crepes are a classic. Before, I probably hadn’t had a filled crepe since I spent a summer in Arcata visiting my sister years ago. Shoutout to Renata’s Creperie on G St. If you are ever in that area, I would highly recommend going there. Make sure you bring an appetite…
Thai Basil Date
I saved my first food review for my favorite thing, Thai food. My bar has been set very high for Thai food; I try it in just about every town I visit. It is great for vegetarians. A lot of dishes are already vegetarian or can be ordered with tofu. Pad Thai and yellow curry…
Introducing My Blog and Myself
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read my first blog post. I am Eva, a junior at California State University, Chico. I am studying Nutrition and Food Science in the option of Food and Nutrition Communication. My area of study within that is Media and Writing. That is a lot to unpack I…
