I love Chinese food, and I’m one of those people who eats a lot of white rice with her main dish, so therefore I order a lot. But you always end up with a buttload of extra white rice that sits in the fridge, and no one eats it, and it gets thrown away. Not […]

Snickerpoodles, for the pampered pooch.
Snickerdoodles are a very popular cookie, one of those old-timey ones. I’ve even seen snickerdoodle scented candles. But to be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what the hell they were made of until I looked it up, and discovered: A snickerdoodle is a variety of sugar cookie made with cream of tartar, and rolled in […]
Flat Iron steak & oven-roasted potato wedges with cilantro-lime mayonnaise.
I don’t eat much red meat anymore- I’ve lost my taste for it. But this recipe sounded so damn good it actually made me want to have some. But also, I’ll be honest: the main reason I wanted to make this was because it was called Flat Iron steak, and I happen to adore the […]
FUCK YOU Cupcakes. Yeah, I said it.

Chocolate covered Easter cupcakes, with banana flavored Italian meringue.
For Easter this year, I decided to make a cupcake I’ve been wanting to try for years and never did. Mainly because they seemed slightly time consuming (and I’m lazy), but also because I never have all the ingredients on hand; corn syrup, cream of tartar and 14 oz. bittersweet chocolate are rarely here all […]
Holy healthy penne!
I’m all about broccoli lately. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which is odd considering I went a good portion of my life hating it. When I was a baby and a little kid, I adored broccoli. Especially broccoli with cheese… I was like a little Green Giant worshipper. Then all of […]
April 22nd is Earth Day, as you may or may not know. If you don’t know, then let me school you, courtesy of Wikipedia: Earth Day is one of two observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation […]
