Don’t lie to me by telling me this recipe is new and/or mind-blowing. I know it’s not. If you’re from The South, you have probably salivated over it at least twice in your lifetime. More than likely, it has happened at a church potluck. Or one of those times you spent the night at an …
Through my personal, extensive and scientific research, I have deducted that eating this cake will not make you lose weight. In fact, it is also not negative calories. So, that is unfortunate. What was my method of research? I weighed. I ate cake. I weighed again. The second number was bigger. I just don’t understand. It’s …
Man, do I love pizza. I could very seriously eat it multiple times a week. Oh wait, I have. Why? Because I’m a very clean eater who is obviously concerned about starting his abs in the kitchen with a healthy diet. *sarcastic smile* I love pizza. I’ve tried for a long time to make pizza …
From the beginning of my time on this earth, breakfast has literally been my favorite meal. I love it. I love bacon. I love sausage. Eggs? Cheese of all kinds? You’ve got one sexual meal. That’s probably why any mention “brunch” will make me giddy and almost pee my pants. Too much? This recipe is …
Are you scared of making your own ribs? There are two optional answers. If no, bravo. We are now officially BAMF’s together. If yes, well….I pity you a little. Because I once was where you are. Scared. Timid. A little smelly. But then I showered and put my big girl panties on. I googled a …

So there’s this thing in life where I have a recipe for Lemon Squares. Not just Lemon Squares….THE Lemon Squares. Like, if your face was plastic and you ate these Lemon Squares…it would probably melt off. Like, if you were a Unicorn, because we all know they are real, you’d probably need these Lemon Squares …
I’m about to be really honest with you. And if you are someone who cooks and cooks for friends often, then you will probably get up out of your seat in a few seconds and dance around. I don’t know if it will be a joy-induced dance or if you’ll just feel the beat of a … Continue reading
Honestly, a lot of my recipes are “birthed” from mistakes along with a little dabble of “limited ingredients.” I mean, if we’re real with ourselves, not many of us have a pantry like they have on all those fancy cooking shows. More often than not, my pantry looks like a beat up homeless person. It’s … Continue reading
My favorite thing about life is probably food. Definitely food. Especially fancy food. Even more, I love when you can make fancy food yourself. And if we’re going to go even further, I REALLY love when said “fancy food” is super easy to make and takes about .5 seconds. Bruschetta is just so delicious and … Continue reading
If you’re someone who hates chopping vegetables, maybe skip over this little entry. Or you could suck it up and realize this is going to amplify you’re life so just get over it and stop being lazy for 5 minutes. Really, those are the two main options if you’re not incredibly excited about this. However, … Continue reading
Girl, let me tell you a little story. As a child, I hated tuna. It always smelled like aluminum mixed with cat food and it looked like shredded tissue-paper soaked in butt water. But I mean, that’s only if we’re being honest here. As I grew up, it was weird to me that tuna could even … Continue reading
To say this is a bad idea, would be preposterous. To say that everyone in the world loves margaritas, would also be preposterous. To say that making the perfect margarita at home is a challenge for the average person, would not be preposterous. I feel strongly that we have all experienced this incredibly difficult struggle. April or … Continue reading
You know how when you were a kid and you saw that blue box of Mac and Cheese and how excited you used to get? How artificially delicious it was and you just did not even care that the cheese was once a powder? It was like magic for your tummy. And then you know … Continue reading
First of all, I would like to apologize for making you wait this long for this recipe. Secondly, I would like to suggest you try this recipe (not on your way to work) and try to suppress all the feelings of loss you experience from having lived so many years without this recipe. Thirdly, as … Continue reading
If you are from Lubbock or have ever received mail in Lubbock, chances are you’re about to do one of two things. Either you’re about to, 1. Roll the ever-loving-mess out of your eyes or, 2. You’re about to get seriously thirsty. If you have never lived in Lubbock and are not fully confident that … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, I made a little trek from Lubbock to Dallas in order to see the musical “Kinky Boots” with a few BFF’s. If you have not seen this musical, see it. Cyndi Lauper wrote all the music and lyrics and basically we’re Best Friends Five-Ever. And that’s more than forever. Before … Continue reading
