I love pizza.
I will seriously almost eat it in any way, shape, or form. I am totally unbiased and nondiscriminatory against nearly every pizza. Unless of course it has seafood or some off the wall topping on it.
When I was younger (high school years and below), I could have put away my weight in Pizza Pockets, Pizza Rolls, or Bagel Bites. Seriously. These days I like to think that I'm a little older and a lot wiser...
Read MoreA few weeks back I was sent a Wilton Armetale Casserole/Baker, at no charge to me, to try out and give my honest opinion on. Since today starts up March Madness, I wanted to do something inspired by Tailgating!
Of course, there were the usual suspects... but, I wanted to do some dessert since I feel that it's a severely overlooked additional to any proper Tailgating experience.
Since I wanted the dish to be Tailgating friendly it had to be something that could be prepared a few hours in advance, was versatile, and could be cooked on the grill just as easily as it could be in the oven...
Read MoreI remember back when I was little, my mom would make my brother and I 'Breakfast Rice' which was full of butter, sugar, and warm milk. It. Was. Fantastic. Truly one of my fondest breakfast memories.
My little girl has been a rather picky eater for the last year or so. Thankfully, I have been able to get her to at least try new things over the most recent months. One thing that she will never turn away is rice, and yet... for whatever reason, I hadn't thought previously to give her a nice bowl of rice for breakfast...
Read MoreYes, I'm a wine-o - I admit it! I'm a big lush and I looove me some cheese.
I know that this isn't exactly a skinny sort of thing, but if it's done right and in moderation... it doesn't have to completely undo your day, or week, or month, or year! So this is a how-to for a proper cheese plate...
Read MoreI'm irish and... rather proud of it. Even so, the first time I ever had Shepherd's Pie was when I cooked it for myself. It was a rather easy recipe to prepare and of course goes along famously with St. Patrick's Day.
Now, I've never been to Ireland, so I can't really say whether this is a traditional style variation or not. Though from what I can tell, every recipe seems to be different - just with the basic idea that meat and vegetables make up the bottom layer while potatoes of some sort are spread over the top...
Read MoreYeah. I said it. BETTER THAN SEX Cake.
I can't tell you how much it irritates me when people dance around the true title of a poke cake recipe. 'Better than... Cake'? Better than what? Better than candy? Better than a new pair of shoes? No. It's BETTER THAN SEX. Let's get it right. BETTER THAN SEX.
What can I say? I love a good poke cake. They are the perfect way to mask the fact that a cake is in fact... skinny! How's that? Because with the pudding left to soak into the cake, it gives the illusion of a decadent richness that you wouldn't expect with a lighter variation of any dessert. It makes the cake seem a lot more naughty than it actually is...
