Before I dive in, let me preface this by saying that you don’t have to use frozen meatballs for this, and you sure as shit don’t have to use meatless meatballs. I just have to watch my meat intake for health purposes, so here we are. THAT SAID. I’m not […]

Sweet & Spicy Pizza Wontons
Who doesn’t love pizza? And who doesn’t love wontons? These are the questions I asked myself before making these little guys. I was inspired by my love of Totinos Pizza Rolls, and wanted to try reinventing them with some different flavors. Enter: pizza with spicy honey. I mixed ricotta cheese […]
Make Progress, Then Make Eggs
During these last few months from hell, I’ve had little bursts of energy where I felt really good about myself. Believe me, no one is more shocked by that statement than me. I was so shocked that I actually started taking note of those times so I can analyze them […]
Sympathy for the Sarcastic
There’s a BIG misconception in the world about sarcastic people, and I’d like to clear that up right the fuck now. It genuinely makes me angry that a style of humor and dark commentary makes you a bad person. Or a negative person. Or a mean person. Or (insert literally […]

Baked Eggs with Potatoes and Vegan Cheddar Cheese
Alright I’m going to level with you – I don’t make a ton of things with vegan products. For those of you who know me, that’s probably not a huge shock, but I’ve been experimenting a bit more here and there (due to slightly elevated cholesterol levels), and I’ve actually […]
Super Bowl Recipes and a Tale of Two Parties
It’s almost that time of year! Unfortunately, this year looks a lot different than the Super Bowls from days of yore. Prior to Covid (and my own life blowing up in my face), I used to host a BIG Super Bowl party for my friends every year in my apartment. […]
Football Snacks: Skillet Buffalo Chicken Dip
I have been craving Buffalo Chicken Dip like crazy lately, and then it dawned on me: it’s because my stomach knows it’s football season. I’ve made Buffalo Chicken Taquitos before, but not the actual dip by itself. Weird, right? So I did what any normal person would do and ran […]
Being Self-Aware and OK With Your Baggage
I know this may come as a shock to most of you reading this, and especially for those of you who know me, but I like who I am. I’m 36 years old and I’m pretty self-aware. I’ve been around long enough to know who I am, what I like, […]
Resolutions Are Overrated, Try a Realistic Goal
GASP. Starting off 2021 with a pinch of cynicism, just the way I like it. Sorry to be blunt, but let’s be serious. People put such lofty goals and resolutions upon themselves every year that most of the time, they don’t achieve them or even come close. Why is that?? […]
