At this point in Extra Life, we were gaming for four hours and feeling pretty good. I know we needed a meal that would sustain us, but not make us too full or tired. The “sandvich” from Team Fortress 2 seemed like a perfect option. Meat, cheese, veggies, a […]
This past weekend, I spent 24 hours cooking video game-themed food while my friends and I played video games for Extra Life. The first dish I made, at 9am that morning, was a Yoshi Egg Scramble with applewood bacon and apples on the side. It was healthy, delicious, and […]
