Drunken Baking

Needless to say, but I LOVE desserts! One morning after a night of partying with one of my best friends, Renee, I stumbled home with an empty stomach and was craving something sweet. That morning I came up with a yummy hand treat, Banana Cheesecake Cupcakes with Caramel sauce. I don't remember how I managed to make all of these babies in that condition. But these treats were mouth-watering, sweet, and creamy. I had so many leftover after Renee and I had our fill. Luckily they will keep in the freezer for about a week. Taste like a banana iced cream! What is your fav after party-nights treat?

Manly Meal

I'm a big man. I need my food to be fulfilling not a tease. I made this dish because it was getting to be Autumn and I was craving some of my Grandma's Beef Stew. Unfortunately she pasted the year before so I was S.O.L. Thank the universe that she taught me how to cook! Brendan and I went out and grabbed some thick steaks (sirloin) and some baby potatoes. The broth for this stew is homemade beef broth and tomato paste. This dish would definitely be a great slow-cooker meal. (Maybe going a repeat/ re-eat this week) You can pour this baby over rice or mash, but it's so chuncky that you could eat it solo! This is a man's stew! But women are welcome to eat as well.  Gotta show love to the ladies ^_^ What's a "manly" food that you eat when you need a man-check? 

Flu Food

Yes everyone, it's that time of the year again. The time when you get the sniffles and the head colds. The Winter. I made this little guy one night my roommate Brendan and I were feeling cozy on my awesome couches. Had had a shit-ton of orzo left over from the night before so I made soup. I had a whole small chick in the freezer for some reason (rarely cook whole birds... I'm intimidated by them ]: ) I rosted and then boiled the hell out of that chicken! The broth was nice and rich. I just threw in all the vegies I had leftover into the pot. And to add more flavor to the over all dish, I boiled the orzo in the broth. This soup was so warm and peppery, my grandmother would be proud, but also angry because my soup was just as good as hers! Chicken Soup is one of my fav sick-time foods. Just goes so well with tea and giant blankets. What is a food you like to eat when feeling ill?
