I like big bundts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can’t deny. When a chef walks in with an itty bitty plate and a round thing in its face I get….. hungray. Yup. Sir Mix A Lot may have been a one hit wonder, but lemme tell you, this bundt cake is much, much, […]

It’s officially cold here in the Midwest (though Missouri is definitely more Mideast, whatever, much like their drivers, these midwesterners are in a constant state of confusion). Seriously.

  This recipe post is healthy with a side of caution. It’s definitely not a sacrificial eating grass kind of healthy, but more of a healthier + protein pack alternative to waffles, pancakes, muffins, breads, cookies, cupcakes, cold pizza, ice cream, french toast….   *** can we also discuss how i seriously thought (until just now) the […]

Sooooo I joined weight watchers and nearly poo’ed myself when I found out that one cup of my store-bought granola was TWENTY ONE POINTS. OUT OF THIRTY. I had completely screwed myself for the rest of the day, knowing that my evening wine takes up a solid ten points and there was literally no way I was going […]
