I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but I have to say that a good donut is one of my favorite treats. Cake or yeast donuts. Glazed or filled donuts. I’m not picky at all. That’s why I included a variety in the last poll so people could pick what kind of donut they [...]

I wasn’t shocked when The Pioneer Woman won last week’s poll. She’s pretty much the most popular thing since Barack (2008). The hard part though was deciding what to make out of her latest cookbook. I didn’t really want to make a meat heavy dish which eliminated about 75% of the recipes, so instead I [...]

Last week I had a meeting with my book club. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the book because I’m busy/lazy/[insert excuse here]. I figured that I had to make up for the fact that I didn’t read the book by making some really excellent food also known as homemade peanut butter cups.

A few weeks ago, I went to a barbeque. On the table there was plate of what looked to be a chocolate type dish that was crumbled up. I grabbed a piece, ate it, had eight more pieces, and then went on a mad hunt throughout the barbeque to see who brought the stuff and [...]
