Tomorrow is the big day; the Olympics of cookouts, the all-day burger festival, the national holiday of hanging out that is Independence Day. Maybe you have a whole spread planned, full of grilled meats and cool beverages. Maybe you're tagging along to a potluck, or picnic, or some other grand event where you should bring something but it's not yet clear what.

We’ve all been there. You’ve got people coming for brunch, and you’re running around the grocery store with your list, and there at the bottom it just says “JUICE.” You grab the large bottle of orange, maybe one of grapefruit, and go back to hunting down eggs and bacon.

For recent college graduates like myself, figuring out how to navigate this place you all call the real world can be pretty tricky sometimes. So when it comes to feeding myself, I am absolutely a "less is more" girl.
