We were pretty lucky with Hurricane Irene, but we still drowned ourselves in comfort food while we waited out the storm. After consuming pizza dip, chips and salsa, peach rings, dried mango, eggs and toast, we decided we needed a dinner meal. This is really simple to put together, has a slight kick, and will [...]

I have a complete inability to cook rice correctly. I burn it, it’s crunchy, or completely mushy and gluey. I usually Milli Vanilli my rice and buy the overpriced “boil in bag” kind or just buy it premade. Main problem here? I LOVE Arroz con pollo and I consider it my perfect comfort food. I [...]

I have been commonly known around both work and with friends for my strange celebrity crushes. Mark Harmon, Miley Cyrus…the list goes on. However, my newest crush, Arnold Vosloo, is for many different reasons. Not only did he star in the Mummy movies, some of my absolute favs (with a soundtrack that helped get me into [...]

Alright everyone, True Blood is back!! As an avid vampire supporter, one who went as far to do her college final in Public Speaking about my anger towards people who like vampires to be cool, aka Twi-suck, I am SO happy that True Blood is back. Now, this may seem off topic to you and you may [...]

I have been on the hunt for this recipe for two years. A young lady, who will not be named, used to make this for me. Now after our relationship (as well as her relationship with everyone she knows) went sour because she went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY, I had no access to the recipe. I finally [...]

When Little Mommies told me she would be making a “strata” for Hanukkah, I assumed that it would be some form of a multilayered cake and I was excited. Then when she told me that a strata was an egg dish filled with cheese, I was even more excited. Then, when she told me she was going [...]

Cooking chicken is easily the root of all issues related to living with a member of the opposite sex. In my home, as well as in my parents’ home (with my mom and dad), or any time I have cooked for a man, I have found the same problem. I want white meat, skinless, and [...]
Cheesy Burgers, Two Ways

There’s something quite special about burgers that are stuffed with things, especially cheese. I don’t know what it is, but when you bite into a burger and it’s filled with something special, it’s just like those days when you put on a pair of jeans you haven’t worn in a while and you find 20 bucks in [...]
