Julia Lucas and Scott Kleinfelter

November 4, 2019

Both of these recipes are gluten-free and nut-free, which is a fun twist, but probably helpful since we all know people with allergies, and they probably like apple-themed desserts too. Since both of us have allergies, finding fall desserts that we can both eat can be difficult. We had also never ma...

Julia Lucas and Scott Kleinfelter

Apple crisp is a fall staple, and easier than pie, so this recipe was perfect. We spent a LOT of time cutting and peeling apples, but otherwise making this recipe was pretty straightforward. Our rendition of apple crisp got rave reviews from Scott’s family, so this recipe is verifiably good. If you have...

As the leaves change and whispers of the winter cold creep in, it’s good to indulge in the trademarks of fall at its peak.

Classic Gyros Offer Striking Flavors

Catherine Barry, Sports Edior

October 9, 2019

After trying Falafel King’s gyro, I was disappointed as to probably be expected from ordering a gyro from a falafel place. At first glance it looked like your standard, universal gyro including shaved lamb meat, raw onions, tomato and tzatziki drizzled on top, all inside a pita. However, this gyro...
