Skip to Recipe I have a love/hate relationship with coffee. While I like coffee-flavored things, I don’t actually like to drink coffee. Some people like that black, unsweetened concoction to just punch them in the face with caffeine. I, on the other hand, prefer to add enough sweeteners and flavorings that I almost forget that
Skip to Recipe One day, about a year or two ago, a recipe for a Snickers Brownie Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake showed up on my news feed. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I made a mental note to try making it someday. Then, I forgot about it until I happened
Skip to Recipe Okay, I lied. I am totally posting a “red” recipe in February for Valentine’s Day. But, I got inspired and decided that this recipe deserved a posting. I mean, they’re HEART-SHAPED!

Skip to Recipe When I moved into my house earlier this year, my friends pooled their resources and gave me a very generous wad of cash as a housewarming gift. Naturally, I spent that money on cooking-related items. One of these purchases was a grill and smoker, which the hardware store happened to have on
Skip to Recipe As a native South Floridian, I have eaten my fair share of Cuban Style Roast Pork (Lechon Asado). It’s easy to find pretty much anywhere in Miami, but can often be dry and bland. And, since it’s not particularly difficult to prepare, it makes more sense to just make your own. Anytime
