As of one week ago, it’s been 365 days of culinary adventures, gorgeous photography, and studio abandonment. There have been bouts of great food, failed recipes, a trip to Dumbass Starbucks, plus a good old fashioned perfect baked potato. I’ve been mesmerized by grilled chocolate sandwiches, magnetized by chocolate covered potato chips, and hypnotized by dark chocolate waffles. Are you noticing a pattern here? Read More…
Baked Maple Bacon Donuts! These are the donuts people have been talking about for ages. In fact, a buddy of mine asked me to join her at the Glazed Donut Cafe here in L.A.. I said I would once I realized they have a Brown Butter Maple Bacon Donut. I haven’t had a chance to get there yet, but let me tell you something…these bad boys will hold me until I do.
I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. I mean, I love me some bacon and I’ll never say “no” to a donut, but a baked maple bacon donut? I wasn’t too sure. It’s like putting two things together that have no business merging. Let me put it to you like this: cheeseburgers are fantastic and ice cream is to die for, but do you really want two scoops of meat-filled Rocky Road? I didn’t think so.
On the other hand, what have I got to lose? Worst comes to worst, I’m left with a pile of crispy bacon and six maple glazed donuts.
I think I’ll be alright.
Recipe for Cinnamon Donuts slightly adapted from Buns In My Oven

Hello Everybody! Happy All Things Thursday! Let’s talk 300 sandwiches.
“You are 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring!” her boyfriend exclaimed. And so the young lady got cooking. Apparently, after making him #256 she finally got the ring. It sounds like a story I’d want to tell my future children.
Children: Mommy, how did daddy know you were the one?
Mommy: Well, it’s a beautiful story, kids. You see, your daddy loves sandwiches and…
Now, about the food…

The end of Spring semester is near, my friends. Perhaps, I will celebrate with all of the above. Would you blame me? Until next time…

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Truffles!
The thought of it had my brain twisted. If somebody told me two weeks ago that melted chocolate plus whipped avocado equals a wonderfully creamy dessert, I would’ve laughed in their face. Ok, maybe not “in their face”, but as soon as they turned their back to me…
I’m a big fan of burning bridges. It’s not like I seek it out or anything. It’s just that sometimes a friend/classmate/job needs to be removed from my life and when that time comes? I get the matches and light it up. Read More…
