Warm weather always makes me want to eat a little healthier, lighter, faster, funner. (Funner?) A quick, healthy thing to whip up is this Avocado Beanie Baby Dip. I promise, no Beanie Babies were harmed in the making of this dip. It uses a can of butter beans (also known as baby lima beans) and…
Sometimes I get a little touchy about a subject and I let it come through in my writing. This is one of those times. I write a column for DrinkingCraft.com which is much less punchy than what you read here. This week’s may have had a tiny bit of punch to it. I created a…
I love baseball. I can get behind basketball. But I don’t love football. What I DO love about football is the excitement, friendly rivalries and massive amounts of beer and junk food that surround football fandom. So I can get behind the football culture, regardless of whether or not I give a shit about the…

Popplers, if you don’t know, were found upon a planet by…

Hey you. You going to some barbecues this season? You want to impress the shit out of people with the dish you bring? Thank god. I’d hate to think slackers read my blog. Make this! It is what it says. AMAZE BALLS with an anything-but-delicate AWESOME SAUCE. It’s basically a savory monkey bread. Caramelized onions…
What’s better than pizza? Bite-sized pizza balls. This is by no means a fancy recipe. I started playing around with this recipe a few years ago and it has since become a staple in my household. Plus, I like to make anything ball-shaped so I can make some good old-fashioned Schweddy-ball-style jokes. ‘Cause apparently, I’m…
When you’re grilling yourself a cheese (Archer reference… anyone?), I think the most important ingredient is your cheese. Ok, big fat no brainer. But it IS the make or break aspect of your sandwich. You could drown an insect in the right kind of cheese and I’d still eat it… … did I whet your…
