Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Buttercream

16 Comments

I work very close to an absolutely delicious spot called Red Velvet Cupcakery in DC and they truly have the best red velvet cupcakes in DC, hands down. I've tasted the red velvet cupcakes at every spot in DC, and none of them come remotely close to the scrumptious deliciousness of Red Velvet Cupcakery's. They're incredible, all praises due. Howeverrrrrrrr.... These red velvet cupcakes? Wow. They ...

Slammin’ Salmon BLT with Cornmeal Onion Rings

4 Comments

I love seafood. I could legit live off seafood *record scratch* -- actually, throw in some turf (steak) and maybe that'll be a reality. I love my cow, but we'll get into that later. Anyway, yea...seafood is my boo. I also love sandwiches. Big and small, wide and tall, I love'em all. Almost anything between two slices of bread is probably gonna put you two steps closer to God, but this sandwich ...

The “Big Meech” Burger

2 Comments

Truth be told, I don’t even know who the hell “Big Meech” is. I do however, like the name “big meech” for a burger because it's fitting. I am known for making big ridiculous man-burgers that will make him eat out the palm of your hand. He'll be so happy and so full that he might even fall asleep watching Sports Center, giving you time to catch up on whatever mind-numbing reality TV show you're ...

a yummy spin on an italian favorite

Who doesn't love lasagna? If you don't, I'm judging you! But seriously, this is a really great recipe for you lasagna lovers out there, who may want to put a different spin on it. This is a slightly dumbed-down version of my own lasagna recipe, converted into cute little rolls. I took out a lot of complicated steps and complex ingredients so that you first-time mini-chefs can do this without ...

Fabulously Lazy Lemon & Vanilla Bean Pancakes

6 Comments

I may love making just about everything from scratch, but I am not above "just add water" pancake mix. However, I rarely "just add water"...I almost always add something amazing to it so that I'm actually enjoying my dusty box of pancake mix. This is a great recipe for those days when you're out of everything you need to make homemade pancake batter -- like I usually am... These pancakes are ...

Shrimp & Creamy Parmesan Grits

Oh my... Yo... This is just... I can't even... Man, listen... I made the most delicious bowl of shrimp & grits and cried unicorn tears. Straight up. I don't think there's a word in the English dictionary that can describe how insanely delicious and delectable this was. Not only was it stupid simple to make, but it was flavored to perfection. It just...oh my goodness. Who run the world? ...

I wish you could see the intense bodyroll action these amazing cookies have bestowed upon me -- followed by a super happy mouthgasmic jig.

cheddar biscuits (red lobster style)

These are so good, you'll slap your mother and ask yourself why in the hell you wasted so much time at Red Lobster when you could have been making these delicious cheesy morsels at home! I am so serious. That is not a joke. Anyway, just about everyone I know who isn't a Red Lobster'Nazi is obsessed with their delicious Cheddar Bay Biscuits. People order extras just to bring them home and savor ...

Recipe: Mixed Green Salad with Crunchy Shrimp & Lemon Vinaigrette

Every time I visit Wegmans, my holy grail food shopping mecca, I am guaranteed to overspend and buy stuff that isn't even on my list. Something I always get, that's never on my list is their big ass container of pre-washed mixed greens in the produce section. It's a salad lovers dream. I am admittedly bad at eating vegetables every single day, so this salad is my savior. I basically grab a ...

Creamy Fettuccini Alfredo

I'm a complete sucker for creamy pasta dishes. Don't get me wrong...the red stuff is awesome too, but the creamy, buttery, fatty sauces? Sign me up, please! Pure comfort :D Here is a great basic alfredo recipe that is stupid easy and minimal on ingredients. The best part of this recipe is that you can make this in about a half hour, great for those short on time. You can add all sorts of ...
