Don't you wish your food looked like this?
Almost two months have passed since I have devoured a hearty, home-cooked meal. As each week goes by, my hankering for a fresh-from-the-oven, as-good-as-mom-makes-it, lick-the-plate-worthy dinner grows substantially. The one thing I miss the most about my kitchen back home would have to be the expansive spice rack, a spinning rainbow of different fragrances and flavors, that sits proudly upon the counter. With a little help from the Stevie spice rack, I created a nostalgia-inducing Chicken Parmesan that I guarantee will warm your heart.

Stone Creek Boutique is a head shop off of route 252 in Columbia Station. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Oberlin and pretty easy to get to. Yesterday, I set out to discover if it was worth the trip.
