Cheesy Cajun Fries with Grilled Corn Guacamole, Bacon and Fried Eggs

Let’s just start putting drippy fried eggs on everything. K? Oh wait, I have already been doing that. I really don’t know why, but every other recipe I want to make I think “oh, I should put an egg on top of that”, or, “oh, I think an egg stuffed in there would be good”, or ” […]

Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Yogurt Pops with Chocolate Drizzle

You guys know what’s really weird? I absolutely HATE being cold, but yet I continue to make frozen treats. Frozen treats that when I photograph, make me shiver. For some reason every time I shoot any kind of ice cream my hands end up molding the ice cream into a cone, or sandwiching it between […]

Hot Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookie Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwich.

I told you there was more ice cream coming…. Except this one I can’t take credit for. Ok, well I did make it, but the idea behind it was my picky no vegetable, no fruit, no fish-eating teenage brother. Malachi or Kai or even Malachi John as I call him when he is annoying the […]

BBQ Grilled Corn, Jalapeño and Peach Quinoa Salad.

Peanut Butter Burgers with Slim Jim Fries and Chocolate Malted Milkshake.
