This sh!t is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Thank you Gwen Stefani. Whenever I hear Gwen, I am instantly transported back to 4th grade when I went to a very strict religious school. I still vividly remember the first day of school — I got dressed in my rumpled white chapel dress, and penny loafers. When I saw […]

recipe showdown: belgian waffles
It’s humiliating. It’s tragic. It’s the decay of Western civilization…. and I can’t stop watching it. Ever since I heard that little, blond, 4-foot-tall toddler’s famous catchphrase”a dollar makes me holler honey boo boo,” I’ve been in love.She’s hyperactive, uninhibited, and foul-mouthed… and I’m kind of obsessed. But since this is technically a food blog, […]
recipe showdown: blueberry muffins
It’s been way too long since I’ve done a Recipe Showdown. My last showdown was “Sweet Potato Casserole.” That was before Thanksgiving. Santa has come, we have rung in the new year, I’ve finished exams… heck, it’s almost Valentine’s day. For the past four months, the most prominent thing on my blogging to-do list […]

It’s time to whip out comfort food recipes!Nothing hugs the soul on a chilly day like buttery, cheesy goodness. I can’t […]
recipe showdown: cornbread
I’ve already fallen in love with custard cornbread, but with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I figured I needed a really great traditional, buttermilk cornbread recipe up my sleeve. I tried Grandmother’s Buttermilk Cornbread from All Recipe which boasts over 3000 five star reviews, All-Purpose Cornbread from Cook’s Illustrated 20th Anniversary Best Recipes Cookbook, and […]
recipe showdown: apple pie
Last year when we went to my grandma’s house for Thanksgiving, I made Grandma Ople’s famous apple pie and it was a huge hit. But I have never believed the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” So I invented my own saying. “Even if you think it’s the best, try everything else to […]
recipe showdown: cinnamon rolls
I like big buns and I cannot lie. I would choose a warm, gooey, buttery cinnamon bun over chocolate cake any day. Since they are always the star of the brunch table, they better be good. This may have been my favorite experiment yet. What would I rather do on a Monday night than play […]

Everyone and their grandma think that they have the best recipe for chocolate chip cookies. When you google “best chocolate […]
