Up until I was 15, I was a vegetarian. I’m 21 now, and even though it’s only been 6 years of eating meat, I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty about turning over to the dark side. Since September is National Chicken Month, I wanted to share some tips and recipes that I think all cooks (beginners and experts) will find helpful about delicious chicken.

Recently, my parents invited me out to dinner to get some Thai food. They suggested we go to Bodhi Thai, which was in a most unlikely location: Berwyn, IL.

There are just some dishes that I know I’ll never attempt making. For example, too much can go wrong while making lasagna. Just a couple of weeks ago, I tried making those delicious peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kisses in the center.
