Eat Your Breakfast! Banana Muffins

Okay, now that you’re going back to school, it’s time to focus on the most important thing for having a good school day: breakfast.
No, seriously. Breakfast is delicious. I know a lot of college students skip breakfast to save time in the morning (I myself was often guilty of this), but why skip the most […]

Okay, picture this:
Your crush just called and said he/she would like to come over and hang out, and, for reasons unknown or maybe because life hates you, you blurted out, “Great! I was just making dinner!”
So now you have 15 minutes to make a tasty full-blown meal that will impress your crush–but without looking like […]

Tuffy Luv Is Grateful For Not Being a Bridesmaid

To get your question answered, email Tuffy at asktuffyluv@gmail.com. Ain’t no question too big or too small–but keep your question down to a paragraph or three tops, yes?
[Confidential to Paulina: Stay away from that loser. He’s obviously still seeing his ex (or at least hooking up with her) and you so don’t need that. Like […]

Tips For Long-Termers 2: Date Ideas

Like I said, I’ve been in a relationship with my guy for over four and a quarter years. And it’s awesome.
As an example, allow me to share with you an anecdote of undeniable cute proportions:
(BACKGROUND: I’m Jewish, he’s Asian-American, we’re both tattooless.)
We were on a double date with my friend and his coworker, who we’d […]

Deep Fried Watermelon: The Dessert of Champions

Um, I’m really not into the Olympics. Sorry.
Yeah, I get it, nations get together and compete to show that their differences aren’t all that big after all, blah blah blah. The truth of the matter is, sports has never brought nations together. Maybe they can put their differences aside for a few minutes for the […]

Bitches Is Crazy: How To Deal

Yeah, you heard right: Bitches is crazy.
Every girl has a story about some other girl who stabbed her in the back and then made her feel like crap about it. I mean, unfortunately, it’s a fact of life. Women are mean to each other.
Now, obviously, this is messed up. Aren’t men mean enough? Why do […]

Yummy Low Fat Apple Cake: It Even Has Fruit!

When I was a little girl, I used to hear story after story about my grandma’s apple cake. Not apple pie, mind you–my grandma was from the Bronx, not frickin Kansas–but apple cake. Everyone was always carrying on about how delicious and how light it was, and my grandma would smile and throw her hands […]

Tips For Long-Termers

I have been in a relationship for over 4 1/4 years. I mean, with one guy.
That’s right: I have gone out with, made out with, slept with only one man since I was 19 (before that…well, let’s not go there). And we’ve lived together since I was 21.
I mean, it sounds kind of lame. One […]

A Breast Identity Crisis

I have been a 34-C for about 5 years now. Oddly, but as I’m sure you will all - as women of a certain age - understand, I had come to really identify as such. I was a 34-C. I was of slightly-larger-than-average-but-nothing-unusual proportions. At 5′0″ (in shoes), I figured 34-C was more than adequate […]
