Classic Soft Pretzel

by Stephen on Sep 2, 2014 • No Comments

Hello hello! It’s me. Stephen. Long time no see, I know I know. I’m not going to lie, it was a busy summer and I feel like I’ve barely cooked in ages. Hopefully now that autumn is fast approaching, I’ll be able to spend more time in...

Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Pepper Poppers

by Stephen on May 8, 2013 • 2 Comments

This recipe provides you with a good example of what I do while I’m waiting for dinner to finish cooking. I don’t kick my feet up and wait for the timer to go off. Nor do I clean the kitchen while watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory (usually). Instead, while dinner...

Tequila Chicken Skewers

Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo! Ole! What did you guys do? Most of my friends went to bars or were recovering from the Kentucky Derby. Me…well, I worked from 9-noon, but my afternoon appointment was canceled so I had the rest of the day off. As soon as I was able to...

10 Foods to Cure Bad Breath

by Stephen on May 1, 2013 • 4 Comments

I used to have a coworker that I would HATE talking to because his breath reeked so badly. Don’t get me wrong, the dude was incredibly nice, he just stank. Whenever he stopped by my desk to chat, I would literally feel nauseous from his breath. Yup. It was that bad. Like...

Bacon Caramel Popcorn

Don’t hate me, but I don’t like baseball. It’s boring. Every so often I’ll play the freakin’ sport, but to just kick back and flip on a game…eh…not my thing. Which is a shame because my family used to have season tickets for two teams, I live in America, and ALL of...

Chocolate Covered Bananas with Hazelnuts

by Stephen on Apr 21, 2013 • No Comments

I think I may watch too much television. But in my defense, I don’t watch it every hour of the day…instead I flip on a show or two before bed (almost always online). But even if that wasn’t the case, and I actually just zonked out in front of the TV every day,...

Cocoa Roasted Chicken

by Stephen on Apr 20, 2013 • No Comments

The other day I randomly asked my dad to pick up a whole chicken from the market. I honestly can’t even remember the last night I’ve roasted an entire chicken (except for holidays). So yeah, it’s a pretty rare request. I guess I wanted to plop a roasted bird down onto the...

Bologna, Sauerkraut, & Cheddar Sandwich

Last weekend my mom was initiated into this random teacher’s organization that’s basically a sorority for grown women. Well, she spent the entire weekend at a hotel in North Jersey, leaving my dad and I unattended. Since I worked most of the day that Saturday, my dad had to fend for himself....

Waldorf Salad

After my horrible attempt at channeling Don Drapper during the Mad Men premier last Sunday, I begrudgingly came to the realization that instead of suave Don, I relate more to Betty right now. Yay me. Haha. In the later seasons of the show, Betty’s story arch swirls around her struggles with weight...

Guess who’s on a dietttt? This guy. Again. Perpetually. But that’s okay cause at least I don’t have too much to lose before long summer days running around on the beach. Time to cut out the crap, eat healthy, and workout! Woo! But me being me, I don’t plan on skimping out...

Old Fashioned

by Stephen on Apr 8, 2013 • 2 Comments

Last night was the season premier of Mad Men! Who else watched?! In honor of the show, I wanted to mix myself a cocktail straight out of the 1960s. Since I’m not a big drinker, I had to look at some pictures online for inspiration and thought an Old Fashioned looked cool....

Omelette Cups with Ham & Peppers

by Stephen on Apr 4, 2013 • No Comments

Hopefully everyone is having a great week! :) I love repurposing leftovers. Not reheating, that’s gross. Nope, it’s fun for me to make leftovers into a completely new dish. We had some leftover ham from Easter, so I thought it would be cool to make a classic omelette with ham and cheese....

Potato and Apple Latkes

by Stephen on Apr 2, 2013 • No Comments

I never understood why people pair potato pancakes with apple sauce. It’s kinda odd, no? Maybe I don’t get it because these delicious fried taters weren’t a big part of my life growing up. In fact, I didn’t even get hooked on them until I had one in France (go figure…good food...
