because food is sexy
I don’t know about you, but I’m so over turkey for the holidays. No, that doesn’t mean I don’t like turkey, because I absolutely do — but I’m just tired of sitting around a big turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Can we do something different, please? I beg. I have the perfect…
It’s officially holiday season! This is the perfect time to gather your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, and/or kids into the kitchen and whip up some amazing peanut butter & chocolate cookies! Let Betty Crocker and Walmart bless you this holiday season. Peanut butter and chocolate are the ultimate in salty/sweet. It’s been…
Maybe you’re intimidated by the whole notion of serving a Normal Rockwell style turkey this year for the holidays. Or, maybe you just don’t have that many people to feed. Maybe you just prefer a different kind of poultry, and maybe you’d just rather dazzle your small gathering with cute,…
Henny wings?! YES! Orange and cognac go together like up and down. Like Homer and D’oh! Like bacon and eggs. It’s really a fabulously delicious pairing, and if you haven’t tried it even in drink form, you’re about to receive a blessing. I’ve basically concocted a BBQ sauce version of…
I’ll never forget it. It was 6 o’clock in the morning, and I was passed out asleep. I get a call from my dad, telling me in a sad, apprehensive and somber voice, that my youngest aunt on my mom’s side had passed away from breast cancer. All I could do was let out…
This Peach Bourbon BBQ sauce is wonderful to have on hand at all times. Peaches go with bourbon and/or whiskey very well. I know it may be the start of Fall, but I don’t care. Grilling/BBQ season is all-year round for me, I crave that smokey flavor non-stop, I don’t…
Cod has always been one of my favorite proteins from the sea since I was a kid. I remember taking family trips to a now-extinct restaurant called Chesapeake Bay Seafood House, and they served this INSANELY good fried lemon-pepper cod. I got it every single dang time we went. I can…
You’re going to love these lemony buttermilk fried shrimp! My heart breaks for folks who have seafood allergies. No, seriously. I am saddened for you guys. If you could measure seafood allergies by percentage, I myself am 5% allergic. I can eat fish, shellfish, mollusks, etc. The only thing that…
I’m admittedly a big kid, and maybe even a little childish when it comes to certain things. As a kid growing up, fish sticks were one of my favorite things in the world to eat. When my parents were at work, and I’d come home from school, making fish sticks…
This carrot cake with maple cream cheese frosting is one for the books! So freakin moist and perfectly sweetened. I absolutely love carrot cake, even the ones studded with plump juicy raisins. Yes! “I hate carrot cake” is often what I’m told by people who have no idea what good…
