I’ve Been Using Chopsticks All Wrong (And So Have You!)
One of the biggest accomplishments of my adult life was learning how to use chopsticks. Not even a lie. It was on par with learning how to whistle or how to well, whistling is really the biggest shame. One of those things that people never want to admit that they just don't know how to do.

Unbelievably Amazing Panko-Covered Asparagus Fries
Potatoes were SO last century. And french fries? Blech! Between the sluggish carb overload and the finger-coating grease, the only time you should want french fries is when you're ten.

If You Don’t Like Peeps, We Can’t Be Friends
Peeps. Everyone has an opinion on Peeps. There has never been a more controversial topic around the family Easter table that has resulted in so much thrown ham. They are either a perennial Easter favorite or a much maligned “last treat in the basket” candy. Some adults have fond memories of these sugar coated marshmallows shaped like little baby chicks and bunnies. Others have fond memories of microwaving those suckers until they explode in a miniature reenactment of the last scene in the 1984 classic Ghostbusters film. Here's the thing: if you don't like Peeps, I'm not sure we can be friends. Keep Reading >>>
Forget Onion Rings, These Onion Patties Are Going To ROCK YOUR WORLD!
I grew up in a family that fried everything. I'm talking fried fish, fried chicken, fried fritters. If it could be fried, we fried it.

Something else it gave me was an appreciate for truly delicious recipes that will blow people's minds. Onion patties are one of those. While everyone has heard of onion rings before, my favorite friend onion was always the patty. Onion patties as a side for meatloaf...yum.

Easter is on the horizon, and with it come the squishiest and most confusing of candies: Peeps. And I have to admit, I have a little bit of an obsession with these strange marshmallow-y things.

Everyone makes such a big deal about Valentine's Day. I suppose it is the biggest holiday after Christmas, but there's only so many red and pink hearts I can handle before I start questioning my sanity.

What can I say? I'm a little less romance and a little more rowdy. So in preparation for that big day, I'm planning a bunch of different recipes for my epic party, including these St. Patrick's Keep Reading >>>

I have a confession to make: I had no idea what a smoothie bowl was until a few weeks ago. I mean, it seems pretty self-explanatory, right? But I just didn't get the point of it.

Cheesy Braided Garlic Bread – Easiest Dough Ever!
I have a confession to make, y'all: I am not a baker. The thought of baking my own bread terrifies me. And yeast? Don't even get me started on yeast. If it ever came down to a choice between battling a giant, ferocious dragon with spikes and claws and fire or making bread from scratch, I would gladly waltz into that dragon's lair and ask him if it's hot in here or if it's just him. And I never thought that would change...until I came across the easiest multi-purpose yeast dough I've ever seen. I used it to make this Cheesy Braided Garlic Bread, and let me tell you, cheesy bread goes a long way Keep Reading >>>
