Yes to Yummy

Are you hole’d up at home right now? If you’re a conscientious human (who has the privilege to socially-distance), there’s a pretty good chance you are, in fact, slowly losing your mind in your house, apartment, or boat with 40 of your closest friends from the animal kingdom. Have you watched all of “Tiger King”… View Article

Hey, I’m Abby’s Dad, aka “Furbo” and one of Abby’s early cooking co-conspirators. Note that the gynormous misshapen Whoopie Pies were not our shining moment. I do feel privileged that she has allowed me to guest post (I think I am the first). Furbo is a name Abby ...

Every autumn as the leaves start to change, a sudden itch to bake pops into my mental periphery. I find myself daydreaming in class about French pastries and cinnamon, fantasizing about the ways I could reinvent chocolate chip cookies or braid a loaf of challah. As my friends can tell you, this...

Hello again, friends! I’ve been cooking up a storm, so I’m back again for another post. I hope you’re ready for some fat, decadent cookies. In other news, it’s October, but still feels like summer. What gives, New York? (Or more like, what gives, climate change?)...

Hello! I am still alive! And well! And I have a RECIPE to share on the blog?! WHAT?! Unfortunately, Yes to Yummy has been on the back burner for the past year or so. While I have found time here and there to write about the New York delicacies I was sampling, I could rarely pull together a few...

(Photo credits to my best friend Soph for this one!!!) I can’t believe it! My freshman year is over. Where did the time go?! It feels like just yesterday I was graduating high school and moving into my dorm. Now I’m going to be a sophomore. Holy guacamole! These past nine months...

Hello. My name is Abby. And I like chocolate. Wait, correction. I love chocolate. Hang on, final correction. I AM FREAKING OBSESSED WITH CHOCOLATE AND WILL MARRY IT IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. There we go! Chocolate has gotten me through a lot in my life, and for that, I am eternally g...

Hello everybody! I’m still alive! I assure you that I have neither joined a nomadic beat poetry group nor relocated to a cave in Tahiti to hide from the Trump administration. I am still here, in all of my potato glory, in New York City. I’m in the second semester of my freshman year ...

Hello world! I’ve made it! The Big Apple! Huzzah! One of my friends in high school put in a request for a “college update” of sorts (I guess I do have fans?!), so here I am. Welcome to this. First of all, I love living in New York City. While I do enjoy the greenery and quiet ...

So, I think I can say I have really and officially made it. Eleven days from today, I will begin my freshman year of college. I said high school to myself for a second, then proceeded to chuckle because thank goodness I’m not going back there. Shudder. All of this change is coming. I can f...

All of those colors can only mean one thing: summer is here! Huzzah! Look, I love summer. Don’t get me wrong. I love that it’s light out so late and the farmer’s markets are teeming with fresh fruits and vegetables. I love being able to practice yoga whenever I want and ...

Hello friends! I have pulled another disappearing act on you. I know, I know, this is like the tenth bazillion time this year, but hey, what can I say? Senior year keeps you busy. At least it’s over now. (Thank goodness! No more high school ever! Balloons!) For my graduation, my wonderful ...

Food! Glorious food! It feels like I’ve barely had time to cook lately. The past six months or so, I’ve significantly upped my yoga practice, so I’ve been dashing off to afternoon or evening classes almost every day. When I get home, I’ll snack on whatever fruits and...

I remember thinking about this day from the time I was small. Eighteen seemed so big, so distant, something I would never touch with my chubby little hands. But as I’ve gotten older, time seems to have only gone by faster and faster, and now here I am, turning eighteen tomorrow. It’s so str...

Hello everybody! I’m back from my hiatus! Rejoice! I wish I could say that for the past seven weeks, I’ve been embarking on a journey of self-discovery on a remote island in Kiribati, or working on some fascinating underground project like all of these other food bloggers....
