So I popped open a bottle of Reisling in honor of making it half way through a crappy week, and decided it needed something special. Rico had just walked in from a night of manly mayhem with his gents, and I felt the need to catch up a little. Something about my woman cravings screamed [...]

I was out for drinks with a friend of mine the other night and we overheard an over-hydrated young lady next to us talking about the number of vodka bears she had consumed that night. Being the curious cat that I am, I had to lean over and jump into her conversation to find out what a [...]

I was rushing around Saturday night before leaving to go out with a few of my favorite boys when I realized I had absolutely nothing in the apartment to eat. Per Justin’s suggestion, since it seemed like a brunch sorta day, I decided to make the only two eggs Rico and I had left in [...]

So, anyone who has turned on their TV and passed through Bravo has seen the Real Housewives of New York City. One of the housewives, Bethany, is a natural food chef and makes a “Skinny Girl Margarita”. Now, although her drink is OK, let me just tell you how much better mine is . [...]

I’ve been craving spicy food for the past few weeks like a pregnant woman needs her ice cream and pickles. Sadly enough, my terrible acid reflux has been preventing me from eating the heat that I love most. I’ve been wanting to make Taco Bowls again for a while, but due to my tummy, I’ve [...]

The girlfriend came to visit for July 4th weekend and Rico, obviously feeling threatened by Jess and my secret love, pulled out the stops and made us some fancy guacamole. This stuff was incredible. The three of us sat on the roof and ripped straight through the whole bowl, feeling wonderfully satisfied and ill at the [...]
Spaghetti Squash Extravaganza Take Two!

So the sun decided to finally show up near the end of last week and Rico and I grabbed the opportunity to make something light and herby for Spring–nice and cliche. I was too lazy to defrost the chicken in the freezer and felt sorta bad making another protein without doing so first, so I [...]

Let’s talk whiskey. I LOVE whiskey. Good scotch, or a smooth bourbon, makes any night (or day) worth it. I normally like my whiskey pure, scotch straight–little water, bourbon–sans rocks, Irish whiskey–pure flow. Yet, the first time I had a Seven and Seven, I found an exception. The old man who lives inside my heart [...]
