	Cooking Collegiette Style: Chicken Cordon Bleu By Savannah Reiff October 16, 2012 - 8:09am Let’s face it, if you tell someone you are making Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner, most people won’t know what it is. Maybe you don’t know what it is… but they’ll think you are some masterchef because it sounds French. So go ahead, let them think you are an amazing chef and just don’t let them in the kitchen while you make this. Sure, there are plenty of complicated and difficult ways to make it, but we’re in college, we want something easy and delicious. (Side note: you’ll have some leftover ingredients which can be used to make sandwiches for easy lunches later on which are always a plus). READ MORE
	NEU Sidewalk Catwalk \| Oct. 10 By Lauren Spinella October 10, 2012 - 12:00pm In honor of last week’s kick-off of College Fashion Week in Boston, I figured the perfect place to scout out this week’s fashionista was at the show-stopping hit itself. Plus, a piece about collegiette formal wear is always essential. Collegiettes especially have plenty of reasons to dress up – whether it’s a night out with the girls or a date to the Top of the Hub- there’s nothing we love more than putting on a dress and heels (although I usually regret the heels part at the end of the night).

	Cooking Collegiette Style: Homemade Guacamole By Savannah Reiff October 4, 2012 - 8:00am Time for some comfort food and it’s football season, so that means spending Sundays hanging around with friends watching the game and eating chips. Instead of running to Qdoba for chips and guacamole, make your own, and control what goes in it to make it as healthy as you’d like. If you still want to make your own guacamole but are afraid of messing up, I’ve added some easy alternative options after the recipe. Homemade Guacamole Ingredients: READ MORE

	NU Uncorked: Kicking it with Carlo By Emily Cassel September 18, 2012 - 1:24am Welcome to NU Uncorked! This is a blog about wine, except that it’s not really. It’s more about drinking cheap things that come in pretty bottles. This column won’t contain descriptive phrases like “okay flavor” or “perky but not too aggressive.” (Because what does that even mean?) It will, however, be filled with helpful tips like, “This wine gave me a hangover that lasted for three days. And also made me throw up on my boyfriend’s rug.” It’s a wine blog for the everywoman. So please, join me in my feeble attempt to get cultured. Together we’ll learn how to pronounce things like Pouilly-Fumé and Sangiovese! READ MORE
