August 2nd. That was the day I did my last post. One hundred and forty five whopping days ago! It makes me sad to think about how little I get to work on something that I love doing so much, but I only have two more semesters in my Master's ...

Mexican Salad with Chicken and Creamy Lime-Avocado Dressing
I can very clearly remember the salad we had almost every other night while I was growing up. It was iceberg lettuce with thick diced tomatoes, shredded carrots from a bag, some sort of shredded mixed cheddar, and then a thick ranch or blue cheese ...
Pork Chops and Cotija Corn Puree with Radish, Cucumber, and Lime Salad
