The other day, the Taste Tester came home from work asking about manicotti, and, more specifically, why he had neither had it nor heard of it. After his inquiry I realized I have never made it, so I decided to check it out. We aren’t big pasta eaters in the Foodiocentric household, but Taste Tester […]

Foodiocentric’s Christmas Decorating Tips (It’s not too late!)
I can hear you through the internet, you’re saying, “it’s too late for decorating ideas and tips” and “my decorations are already up, how can you possibly help now.” Well, I assure you, this post is timely. Because it might be a little late to change your decorating style this year, but right now is the perfect time to […]
Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn
Well folks the day has come. My FIRST DAY OF WORK has come and gone. I have known it was approaching, looming there around the corner, but in May when school got out October just seemed so far away. As much as I tried to prepare, nothing can quite fully smooth the transition from being […]
DIY Pumpkin Topiary
Since we moved into our new home, I have been DYING to decorate it! I want to buy ALL THE THINGS to make each room look like it belongs in a magazine. Not only am I pining to buy “permanent” decor items, but the new space makes me excited to invest in seasonal decorations as […]
DoggioCentric: Because Right Now My Life Revolves Around Dogs
If you came to this site, it’s probably because you are looking for a recipe or something else food-related. I mean FOOD is right there in the name! BUT I did warn you in the About page that just because life revolves around food doesn’t mean food is all there is. And this summer, my […]
Losing Weight with Fitbit: Is 10,000 Steps Enough?
If you have a Fitbit (or know anyone who has a Fitbit), you are undoubtedly familiar with the recommended goal of 10,000 steps. 10,000 steps, it seems, has become the metric for measuring fitness and activity among users. The exact wording alludes me now, but I recall that when I first set-up my Fitbit Force, […]
Grilled Pizza: Your New Summer BBQ Staple
I have kind of been a little absent around here lately and I would apologize but I have a really really good excuse. I am studying for a little thing called the Bar Exam. While only a small fraction of you have probably ever taken said exam, I am sure everyone reading this has had a friend/relative/enemy/acquaintance […]
Cheap Eats: My Mom’s Red Beans & Rice
Mother’s Day was this week and if I hadn’t been completely swamped I would have posted this post before. But, as they say, better late than never. (Side note-I am never late, I pride myself on being on time. And honestly, in college and law school, I would rather not go to class than walk into a […]
Springtime Lentil Soup
Soup? Soup, in April, I hear you asking? April is decidedly not “soup season.” No, soup season comes in fall when the temperatures start to drop and you are ready to be inside, hovering over a hot stove and cozying up with a nice warm bowl of chili. April is springtime and as the temperature rises, […]
Easy (Potentially Healthy) Egg Rolls
The last time we ordered Chinese food, the taste tester was “not in the mood” for Chinese and opted to eat leftover pizza instead. While I could not understand this logic, I wasn’t going to force him to order Chinese, but I warned him that this was not going to be one of those things […]
