Bienvenidos a Argentina!

¡¡Holaaaa amigos!! Sorry for my delay in posting, but it’s for a good reason, because as I’m sure you’re aware from my many photos on The Perky Foodie Instagram, I’ve been quite busy lately adventuring in Buenos Aires, Argentina for my semester abroad! What is my life?! I still have to pinch myself every day…

My Day on a Food Network Shoot

This past week, I got to live out my wildest childhood dream as a contestant for an upcoming show on Food Network!!!!!!!! WHAT is my life?! I was cast to participate in the “proof of concept” for the show, which will be shown to the Food Network execs to see if they’re going to eventually…

Ready for even more yummy foods from my trip to Israel?! Read on… Akko Our visit to the Arab Market in the city of Akko led to lots of glorious food discoveries! Like hummus! Hummus in Israel is very different from American hummus in the best of ways… Though those little Sabra hummus cups that come…

My Trip to Israel! (Part One)

I’m writing to you from good old Jerz, but my heart (and my taste buds) are in the absolutely beautiful land of Israel.

Food at Muhlenberg

I loved being home for winter break! It was so great to finally relax, hang out with family and friends, and get around to doing all the stuff I wanted to do but didn’t have time for at school! Like blogging! But it is sooo good to be back at ‘Berg! In honor of returning…

Trader Joe’s Haul

A surprising number of people I have gushed to about Trader Joe’s have never been there, and this is a problem that I feel I need to fix.

Passover 2015

I hope everyone has had a wonderfully relaxing spring break! Whatever you celebrate, I hope your holiday was wonderful as well! I love spending Passover with my family and eating nonstop at our seder (the Passover meal). I apologize in advance for these incredibly cheesy titles insisted by my incredibly goofy Uncle Guy. A Meal…

Snack Time!

So, I was going to call this post Snacks for Those Times When You’re Too Hungry for a Bag of Chips But Also Not Hungry Enough For a Full-On Meal and You’re Also Sort of Lazy but Kind of Feeling Creative… but then I decided against it because that’s a really obnoxious title. Oh well….

Delicious Egg Dishes

Eggs. They are a simple and humble, but beautiful canvas for so many interesting meals. In a house or with a mouse (ha ha…), eggs are a versatile source of never-fail yumminess. Still, it’s easy to get into a slump of preparing eggs the same boring way every time. Here are a few of my…
