John Hughes. Genius voice of a generation. (Not Kanye.) He made two of the most quintessential holiday movies of our annual repertoire. Planes, Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving and Home Alone for Christmas. I watch them every year, and chances are, you do too. I’ve already put in Planes, Trains and Automobiles this year. And…
I really love pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins. They are pretty decent, yeah? But do you know what makes them orgasmic? Adding chocolate chips. Seriously, try it. Don’t even get fancy about it. Go to Trader Joe’s, buy a box of the pumpkin bread mix and when you make it, dump in half a bag…
I know the internet has it’s panties in a bunch about America’s pumpkin spice invasion. Is there an increasingly excessive amount of pumpkin spice products on the market each fall? Hell yes there are. But guess what… and brace yourself, because you won’t believe this… you don’t have to buy them. But you do have…
If there’s one thing that I love more than cheese, it’s… well, it’s beer. But following closely behind that, it’s peanut butter. People are always making chocolate/peanut butter shit. And while that’s amazing, it’s completely and utterly unnecessary. Peanut butter is absolutely amazing on it’s own. This is a recipe I picked up from a…
It’s tradition in my household that every September 14th, there is an ice cream cake. It’s my husband’s birthday and from the time we started dating, I knew that it was something his mom had done for him. So from the first year I spent his birthday with him, I’d made sure he had an…
There are a few questions, that if you were to ask me, I know that my opinion would be the opposite of the general public. The Beatles or the Monkees? Well, the Monkees, obviously. Heads or Tails? Tails. I always pick tails. Would you rather have a horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses? A…
I love croissants. But I’m one of those annoying croissant snobs. I won’t eat just any and I seldom order them at restaurants because I have little faith that they’ll be done properly. Which is why I was pretty damn hesitant to try the frozen ones from Trader Joes. My husband’s family would make frozen…
Come with me, I’ll take you where the taste of life is cheese. And everyday holds barriers to be lean. Come with me, leave your diet behind. And take a giant bite out of four kinds. I was born, July 15th, 1984. I’ll be 29 on Monday. But some say I was born in the wrong era….
It’s summer, my little freaks! That means barbecues, cold beers and ice cream. Fuck it, it’s too hot for barbecues. How about just cold beers and ice cream? I whipped up a recipe that incorporates the flavors of both of those things, without actually being either of those things. (Just to keep you guys on…
I know this post is a little morbid and kind of fucked up. But it’s Dexter. How can it not be? With the last season barreling in on us, I wanted to do a recipe to honor our lovable little psychopath. What better way, than to create one of his specialties: donuts. But donuts are…
