Most of the time I need to produce a dessert hack to convince myself that what I am eating is actually indeed healthy for me, in which case, portion control is handed a “get out of jail free” card and can be guiltlessly tossed out the window. Which in turn allows me to fully participate in a […]

I had a good feeling my pronunciation was way off when the man behind me at check out was smirking. Thanks a-hole. At least help a brother out and correct me so I don’t sound like a clueless nerd-bomber who lives in […]

Yes, I am calling cranberry sauce layered between two wheels of brie a cake. Why? Because I can. And because it is just as good as any dessert cake out there. In a savory sense. I take my cranberry sauce very seriously come Thanksgiving/Christmas. And I feel like in my recent years of gathering it […]
