When I was a grad student, lo so many years ago, now, you know what I ate? Mostly Doritos and a lot of Taco Bell. I had a thing for the seven layer burrito for the longest time, and this crazy thing against the kitchen. I was an unhealthy grad student, because I decided that my schoolwork was totally more important! Okay, what I was was lazy, pretty much.

Hungry Grad is a Ph.D. candidate, for god's sake, and yet still manages to feed herself healthily, deliciously, for very little cash and very quickly. She's one of those inspirational people I love running into, and I think we can all agree that she's also a better person than I am.

Her blog hasn't been around for long, but she's already made me want to eat beets, make some fresh-tasting slaw, revisit honey as a healthy foodstuff and avoid getting my Ph.D. entirely, because holy crap. May she survive the candidacy exam and the academic nutters with flying colors and continue to write about easy and delicious food. Or come to my house and make me some.
