Help! My Apartment Has No Oven

Hi all,

As you may have guessed, I'm an aspiring foodie who moved into an apartment that is ovenless. I mean, what's a guy to do in this situation? No money to get it fixed, but an appetite for good food. Luckily, the trusty toaster oven in our apartment is a great replacement.

So, about me. I'm a 23 year old Math graduate student (I'll try to keep the math to a minimum in posts). I really love to cook, and before moving in to this apartment I had a blossoming passion for making bread. I also think that it's really cute when food comes in miniature, individual portions (it's really adorable... I promise).

In the future I hope to publish recipes with tips for how to miniaturize all your food, and also plenty of pictures (some of which will be taken by my very talented sister) to show you how to and what to use to make tiny bites of wonder. Maybe I'll even post some toaster oven cleaning tips, so your roommate won't be able to tell what you made based on the crumbs left near the heating element.

Let's talk possibilities: there are tons of foods you can make without ever turning on the gas in the big box. I eventually want to figure out a (clean) way to make little pecan pies (oh my god, Pecan Pie... my first love), maybe even in time for Thanksgiving. Quick breads, yeast breads, chicken, it's all possible. Yum. I'm excited... and hungry.
