My office is full of enablers. We all have snacking running through our veins… clogging our arteries. Within our small group, someone is always bringing in something. (More often than not, it’s me. Sorry guys!) The one snack that keeps making a comeback is Cheez-It Grooves. We are all mildly obsessed. I wouldn’t even call…
You might be inclined to think I’m posting a baked bean recipe because the Fourth of July is near. You might be right. But only kinda. These baked beans are a family tradition, and not just for summer. My family has them for every holiday imaginable. Yes, we eat baked beans for Thanksgiving. And now…
First of all, I just have to say: I don’t give an alien robotic fuck about the Michael Bay Transformers franchise. But hey, did you hear that there’s a new Transformers movie coming out? What a great opportunity to pay homage to the cartoon, movie and toys of the 80s! I’m not even a…
One of my favorite things in the world is Indian food. I love the depth of flavor you can achieve from dried spices and I’m seldom disappointed by a good curry. I even wanted to have Indian food for my wedding (having no actual Indian roots, my family poo pooed this idea). Some of my…

There are a few things that people consider “summer foods” or perfect for picnics and barbecues that my family has completely mastered. They make these foods so well, mind you, that we now also make them for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, President’s Day… whenever we get the excuse. The first recipe is my mom’s baked beans….
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…
Food bloggers can come up with awesome recipes. Ideas out of nowhere that are weird and amazing and delicious. But sometimes we overlook the classics. The things that have stood the tests of time. They are there for a reason. This is my homage to a classic. Carbonnade Flamande is a traditional Flemish beef and…
I decided that we all slack off a little too much. Want dinner? Sure. What do you want? Oh, I don’t know, I was thinking about throwing these sausages on the grill. Bullshit! You got an onion? You got some beer? Of course you fucking do. So why not do a whole hell of a…
I am guilty of this. I think a lot of food bloggers out there try to make everything from the scratchiest of scratch to prove their worth. But the truth of the matter is, that’s not always what it’s about. Sometimes my readers want a simple delicious recipe that they’ll actually make because it doesn’t…
