This past week, there was no analysis homework, plenty of protein powder and free milk in the fridge. What else was I supposed to do with 10 extra … Continue reading Low Sugar Protein Fudge
Hi! Remember my goal of one post a week? Not going to happen >< I planned to take this semester easy. That plan went down the drain a week in when I got the opportunity to audit….

Tomorrow is the first day of my last semester in Uni. So, why not end the break with something easy and indulgent. What is more easy and indulgent than fall off the bone ribs.
