And I sort of hate myself for typing that because I sound like the biggest fucking bore - but I love myself - all at once. That's why I do it. The cooking, that is.
Read MoreHere's the thing, avocado toast has been all the rage for quite some time now - but the reality is that it takes all of 5 minutes to make at home. Why aren't you doing it and saving yourself a pretty penny?
I made this mornings breakfast for a total of $1.35 in no time flat.
Read MoreIt's getting late in the week and as of Wednesday I was still staring at this weekend's roasted romanesco cauliflower. The trials and tribulations of cooking for one and working to make it fun continue.
Read MoreThe other day I made the most beautiful chicken sausage stuffed zucchini. Nothing gets my motor running like stuffing things. That also sounds sexual, and it's supposed to, because that's how I write when it comes to food.
