I am in a delicious food groove. When I made Sloppy Joe Pockets on Tuesday (Recipe coming soon, I promise), Josh and I agreed they were a 10/10, so I prepared myself to be disappointed for the rest of the week. Nothing was going to beat that, so why bother? Then, BAM. BBQ sauce all up in my grilled cheese paired with the magic of caramelized onions. If you know one thing about me, please know that I will use any method possible to get BBQ sauce…
Read moreIf you know anything about me, it’s that I love carbs. And I have to imagine that it’s a universal truth. In my hometown, there’s this restaurant with pasta pizza. Aaaaaahmazing pasta pizza. Normally, I go for fettuccini alfredo pizza, because if there’s anything that’s better than carbs, it’s double carbs covered in a cheesy sauce.

Read moreThis month’s Recipe Redux theme was Spring Cleaning and, as my mother will insist, I’m not always the best at cleaning. I always have extra cans of this or that plus a freezer and fridge full of fruits and veggies that really should’ve been given a home (in my belly) sooner.

This is my once-a-year from-a-box cake treat, and honestly there’s something I love about boxed cherry chip cake. It’s soft and fluffy and reminds me of high school. Why high school? … No idea. Every year for Josh’s birthday, I have him…
Read moreHas anyone tried the Waffle Tacos at Taco Bell? While I haven’t actually tried one, the idea is incredibly intriguing. I’ve heard mixed reviews of the fast food breakfast– mostly that the waffle leads something to be desired. So rather than trekking out to Taco Bell on a precious Saturday morning, I decided to make one at home. In my pajamas. As breakfasts were meant to be eaten. Is it weird that I felt because I’m…
Read moreGuys (let’s be real: ladies), I’m really into snacks. Extra crisp apple slices, crunchy celery sticks, a handful of almonds — something with a satisfying texture and lots of flavor. You might not agree that celery has a lot of flavor, but I actually love it. Celery and lettuce are actually two of my favorite crunchy foods, because I’m weird like that. Another thing I love? Pretzels. Plain pretzels can be pretty boring…
