Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Shelly Le February 26, 2014
Warm, gooey, crunchy, and a slight hint of salt—there’s simply no better way to start our first foray into food blogging than with a try at chocolate chip cookies. While I’ll admit to still having a special place in my heart for the crisp baked chocolate chip cookie that you get from a roll of store-bought cookie dough, a homemade batter simply makes my heart soar. But of course alongside making homemade chocolate chip cookies must be the great memories that are made during this process and this is what makes us so excited to have “Le Lovely Kitchen.”

Say Hello to the Spring 2014 Pioneer Editorial Board!

Shelly Le January 25, 2014
Another semester gone and another looms ahead. I am halfway through my tenure as editor-in-chief and I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. This is our chance to reflect on the mistakes that we made last semester and improve on our decisions this semester. I hope to let a few things go that aren't as important to the needs of our staff, but I'm also hoping to push us in ways that may make us uncomfortable at times. We work hard, we play hard, and I can't wait to see what the next thirteen issues have in store for us. Here's to another great semester.
