It’s hard to believe that just two months ago, I was deep in the trenches of the college classroom. Looking back, I can’t believe just how much I tackled in my day-to-day schedule, on top of having to take care of myself. Most days, I’d come back to...

One of my favorite weekend rituals is enjoying delicious bagels. Come Saturday morning, you can catch me with a bagel and a coffee in hand (and likely a huge smile on my face). As you can imagine, whenever I take a trip to New York City, I always have a bagel from one of my favorite shops. But when I’m away, I can still get the taste of an authentic NYC bagel delivered to my door, thanks to Just Bagels, an NYC-based kettle-boiled bagel company.

When it comes to pantry goods, there are two things I won’t compromise on: canned tomatoes and artisanal pasta. To me, the difference between a high-quality canned tomato (or pasta) and a low-quality canned tomato is glaring. Great canned tomatoes taste rich, sweet, and at the risk of sounding...

One of the things I love about Trader Joe’s is that most people have a favorite product to recommend—and their favorites are probably different from yours. Thanks to clever marketing and packaging, it is the kind of grocery store that makes you want to throw something new in your shopping cart, although most fans of the brand have their go-to items they can never leave without. Here are a few of my top products.

The 11 Items You Should Always Buy At Trader Joe's, According To A Food Editor

If you're anything like most foodies, pasta likely has a regular spot in your weeknight at-home dinner rotation. From mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, to lasagna, there's nothing more crowd pleasing and comforting than whipping up a meal by boiling some boxed noodles and popping open a jarred sauce, plus adding some variety of cheese and veggies on top. While easy pasta dinners will always be a staple, we all know there's a big difference between the usual at-home meal you're making from store-bought ingredients and the most elevated, memorable, restaurant-made pasta sauces you've enjoyed.

One of the hardest things to do to prepare for college move-in (at least for me) is deciding what to pack.

Rice has been a daily meal staple for me for 20 years now, and there's one step I don't skip when making it: I make sure to always wash it. In South India, it’s an every day, every meal kind of food.

And now, even when I’m 9,000 miles from home, I make sure to rinse my rice, thoroughly and without any exceptions. Ethnic instinct, I would call it. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to.
