My first post from Northwestern!

As you can see, I changed my blog name since I am no longer in Arizona. And, I changed the old background since I am no longer in the desert so a desert background no longer felt appropriate.

I can't promise that I will post a lot while at school (way too busy to cook a lot here!!),  but I will occasionally feel the urge to cook a nice homemade dinner...like last night.

In my lovely new apartment, I made pasta with pancetta and leeks. The picture does not do this pasta justice because the picture is kind of boring looking and this pasta was anything but boring. It was so incredibly delicious and had so much flavor!

I made a cream sauce with white wine, heavy cream, butter, sauteed leeks, and sauteed pancetta. All of the flavors married perfectly. I even topped the pasta with parmigiano reggiano to really make the flavors pop. It was so good that unfortunately, I have no leftovers (Casey ate them all:)).
