Hi! I'm Eryn, and I don't know what I'm doing either.


My senior year at James Madison University is the first in which I'm truly fending for myself in the kitchen and grocery store. Previously, I could get by on the occasional ramen noodle dinner or shoddy mac and cheese because I had my mom or a meal plan to provide the real food. But now that I'm in my first apartment, I'm completely on my own.

Sound familiar?


In this blog, you'll find my experiments in survival. Sometimes they literally end in fire, and other times I eat the entire dish in one sitting. If you're a JMU student and are sick of surviving on ramen and pop tarts, I hope I can help you find food that will keep you healthy, keep you interested, and most importantly, keep you full.
