  • The Artful Dodger

    GAMING! It’s all the rage, am I right? A 91 billion dollar per year industry. Man, if I had that much money, the Earth would be Paradise. Categories of Games Game Platforms Game Interfaces Types of Video Game Settings Extremely Famous Games (Undoubtedly there are many more… however, none of these are truly RPGs. They…

  • Keto Done Right…

    Hello! My name is Sansara Solsinger and I am the messiah of the 21st century! I am so pleased to make your acquaintance! Today’s test kitchen/laboratory experiment is a partial flop. On one hand, I made keto angel food cake. On the other hand, both my berry compote and my keto bread leave something to…

  • New Year, New You

    “Let’s have a coffee chat,” God suggests. Crystal screams, “NO! You bastard! I have something much more important to write.” It’s a great time to make some resolutions to be a better person. I think the majority of Americans are making a resolution to lose weight right now, and they will shame themselves in about…

  • [Garlic] Cornbread Success!!!!!

    Do you know the secret to soft cornbread? We do! You mix the corn meal with your water or milk (or, in our case, “milk.”) You let it sit for at least five minutes. THEN you add your other ingredients. Any powder add-ins that aren’t flour ought to go in before the flour. In this…

  • Thanksgiving Brain 2

    Okay so I thought to myself one thing… what if I use Ree Drummond’s amazing stuffing recipe and put cauliflower in it instead of bread? It’d be a soup then. I’m still on the fence about it but once I go to Sam’s Club for some chicken base, I’m in. I’ll need to get another…

  • Leftover Delight

    It’s almost time to scour the fridge anew and turn anything getting to be more than a couple days old into something new. I’ve got my sights set on a half gallon of apple cider that has not been devoured yet. It didn’t quite taste fresh when I got myself a glass full last night,…

  • Chez Lazy / What’s For Dinner?

    If you totally missed it, you need to know I live with two elderly people who want to do nothing but watch Star Trek and, once in a while, Family Guy, sitting on their asses all day shoveling food into their mouths. My mom reads books, too. They keep buying food in bulk and bringing…

  • A Yearning

    I don’t suppose you know what it’s like to feel someone else’s feelings? I mean, literally. They take up space inside your body and you feel exactly like they feel. It’s not sympathy, it’s worse. It’s full on empath. It’s not even empathy… you are literally feeling exactly what they are feeling. The only blessing…

  • Life’s Tricky / Dry Milk Fudge

    What on Earth can one do with six bags of dry milk? (In fact, I think there were more than that last time I checked, but I’m aware of there being at least six.) This is the insanity of living with old food hoarders, I tell ya. I gave some of the dry milk away…

  • French Onion Soup & Reubens

    Dinner was delicious today. I double-toasted my Carbonaught gluten-free bread to make it most like regular toast, threw some roast beef slices on it, and some sauerkraut and called it a day for me. For my mom, I added the Thousand Island signature dressing for the Reuben. I can’t eat that part, so I omitted…

  • Peanut Butter Cookie Cake!

    You could say I hit a bit of inspiration this time. I made frosting so good I could eat it by itself — peanut butter frosting. So I asked myself what this delectable frosting could be put on top of, since I was in need of some cake (STAT!) I happened to make a strawberry…

  • Meatballs.

    “What does the Pillsbury Dough Boy have under his apron?” … “Dough nuts!” I need meatballs in my life. They freeze well and everything. These days, making food is really annoying. I’m feeding two children who can use the microwave but fall down when it comes to the oven. Crystal’s Meatballs Ingredients: 1 lb lean…

  • SweeTart Diet Smoothie

    I stumbled upon a happy accident today, y’all. My smoothie, created for nutrition and wellness, tastes very much like a SweeTart to me. Now, I haven’t had a SweeTart in a long time, so please forgive me if you don’t agree. It happened to hit all the same flavor centers and notes for me, though,…
