Starting A Blog!


Hi, everyone!

I have wanted to start a blog for a while, and I’m finally getting around to it! This will be a small taste of my journey through culinary school and life in general. Be prepared for pictures of food, a random sense of humor, profound thoughts on life, and a view of how God’s working in me. I’m hoping this will help you avoid similar problems, or in the very least, give you a good laugh! Feel free to offer suggestions on what you want me to blog about/cook next!

Small Steps Toward a Brighter Future

First of all, admit it. When you saw that I had updated my blog, you had to stop and think. Does Rachel even have a blog? You had forgotten or better yet, didn’t even know about it. Truthfully, I even forget about it, which is probably rather obvious, since I never update it. However, I’ve been mulling over something for a while and I wanted to share it. Progress What do you think of when you hear it? Progress. Do you think improvement? Moving toward something? Advancement? Most people see it as a large step moving forward toward a goal. What many do not realize is that progress is not always large and moving forward. Sometimes it is taking three steps back, so you can move five more ahead. Sometimes it is saying no to a relationship because it’s hindering God’s work in your life. Sometimes it is taking a job you aren’t thrilled about and using it as a stepping stone for your career. As a chef, progress sometimes means failing over and over, so you can find a new way to suc...

Life Struggles: Why Are We Just Passing?

I promise we’ll talk about food, but lately life has been more important.  Between homework and heartache, sometimes life hands you things that you don’t understand. It makes that day or time miserable. The last couple of days have been like that. I’ve had two tests, a midterm and a project in the last two days. However, there is one thing that stands out. A friend’s son passed away on Tuesday. He was five. It absolutely broke my heart for her and her family. Tomorrow may be a new day with no mistakes in it. But why wait for tomorrow? Why wait for a day that may not come? Why do we live putting things off until another time? If you want something, go for it now. If you want to change, do it now! Reality check: if you don’t do it now, you’re probably not going to. Tomorrow isn’t a guarantee. Why do we live like it? On another note, I had a conversation with a friend at school yesterday. She said she was okay with just passing a class. I started to think about that. Am I liv...

Learning: Food for Thought

What are you really learning? I finished up summer classes today and started to think about what I had learned this summer. I loved learning in my classes, but God was teaching me something other than baking most of the time. Here is just a little food for thought: Finals. Summer finals. These words will make anyone who has had to take a summer class cringe. They are finals for classes that were about 1/3 shorter than a normal semester. Where else will you find a class that the final lab practical is worth 35% and the written final is worth 20% of your final grade? Think that through. 55% of your grade in two days. You better hope one of those isn’t an under par day. Unfortunately for me, one of those days was bad. However, God does have a purpose for everything. Do we always see it? No. Rarely do we see why immediately, sometimes we see it later on in life, often we never see it. This time, though, God decided to use this as a sort of slap to the face. I do not want to just pass,...
