Who the hell buys this crap!?! It was Black Friday. I was being a responsible American citizen and dutifully in the midst of my annual holiday shopping spree. Then, while battling my way through hoards of eager shoppers in a local department store, I stumbled upon this nonsense… Now there are PLENTY of stupid kitchen […]

So this past week’s Best Bite was definitely my annual Thanksgiving Leftover Pizza. I already wrote about how to make it and how amazing it is here. But this year’s was especially tasty. I used more cranberry sauce and bigger chunks of tender turkey…and maybe my leftovers were just that much better than what I […]

Grocery shopping in often an enjoyable activity for me. I love browsing the various aisles and searching out unique foods to stuff my face with. The problem is that often times I forget about the limitations set forth by my fridge… In the store I suffer from a dangerous combination of extreme-excitement  to be buying […]

Leftovers seem to get a bad rap all the time…often times they are exiled to the far corners of the fridge in hopes of being  forgotten about and tossed out once they develop a trash-worthy layer of mold. And I agree, fresh is almost always better, but random bits from previous meals do have their […]

Almost every week there is a single bite that stands out to me…a mouthful of food that completely satisfies my search for good grub.  It is a perfect meal that  leaves me smiling… where even the after-shock of burps that may follow are pleasant experiences that bring wonderful memories of that ‘Best Bite.’ Often times […]

The Sporkful is truly inspirational and their founder just posted this video he did for the Cooking Channels web series. Seriously…just check out this video of how to make an awesome vegetarian ‘Veggieducken.’ Even if you are not a vegetarian…this is still cool and gets me thinking about all the other crazy combos that are […]

I wait and I wait all year for that moment when Libby’s canned pumpkin shows up in ridiculous quantities at every grocery store. Pumpkin is freaking AMAZING. Yet it is one of those seasonal foods that seem to only be appropriate when ‘Libby,’ whoever the Hell that is, says so… Oh…and quick rant: Did you know […]

Today I mourn the sad loss of a beloved friend… My trusty toaster oven has been one of the few ‘constants’ in my crazy life and it has provided me years of faithful service. From making a simple sandwich to making the perfect pizza, this old friend of mine never disappointed and will be missed […]

OK. This is BS. It seems like the cool thing to do now is brag about eating ‘locally produced’ foods. I am fine with that as long as they taste good…but in general, I think the hype about eating locally has gotten a little crazy. It seems like many food manufactures are trying to jump […]
