Are you ready for some football? Good, cuz I’m not. To be honest, I know nothing about football. I only watch one game a year, and sadly, since Janet Jackson decided to flash a stadium full of people and several million all-age viewers via cable, I can’t even say it’s for the commercials. Come on…

New Orleans bacon pralines are a sweet and salty candy made with lightly sweetened bacon and caramelized sugar pecans. Confession: Until seeing New Orleans bacon pralines on an episode of 5 Ingredient Fix, I didn’t know what they were. The word ‘praline’ is used in the same context as ‘pecan’, so I figured praline is just a southern word…

Oh wait, we don’t have a steamer… Most kitchens have an oven and a stove top. The kitchen I am currently doing most of my food fiddling in doesn’t. Not that it doesn’t. There is a space being occupied by an oven, but it doesn’t bake. There’s a stove top on the top of the…
I have been uber lazy in the kitchen lately. It’s not that I don’t want to cook, its that I’m broke. I am dying to use my new shiny red Kitchenaid 7-cup food processor and new beautiful herb mincer that I got for Christmas, but I just have been too cheap to go down to…
