This past Sunday marked one of the most important holidays in the Christian tradition: Easter. Although Rachel and I do not affiliate with any established monotheistic tradition, our humble beginnings in the beautiful Bible Belt have exposed us to many Christian practices.
In honor of one of the most beloved holidays, which Ellie and I look forward to all year round, we present to you a recipe for traditional apple pie, stoner-style: twice baked apple pie.

It is estimated that Wesleyan students will consume over one million pounds of delicious thyme this Wednesday on Foss Hill. But before you burn yourself out, check out this gourmet recipe that is guaranteed to keep you buzzin’ for hours.

Walking into Coyote Blue feels like being transported into a crowded Tex-Mex themed page in a child’s “I Spy” book.

During spring break, I partook in what will (or possibly already has) become the cliché spring break activity for progressive-minded, environmentally-aware Wesleyan students: WWOOFing. For those unfamiliar with this unusual verb, WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.
