Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese

I love buffalo chicken…things. But not buffalo chicken wings. I’m not a super big fan of eating with my hands, or of eating messy foods in general. Buffalo chicken pizza? Delicious. Buffalo dip? Yes, please. So what could be better than mixing the spiciness of

Happy Halloween! I am super excited about this Halloween 2021 because for the first time in a long time, I am home instead of at work. I have a great love of all things nostalgic and this holiday takes me way back to my childhood

Among my childish eating habits is a dislike of vegetables, cooked vegetables in particular. I tend to enjoy salad veggies – cucumbers, avocados, lettuce, corn, and shredded carrots. I like tomatoes, but only if they are warm. Put a plate of green beans in front

Cookies and Cream No Churn Ice Cream

I am a weird eater. I don’t like a lot of the things that make up most people’s favorite foods: pancakes, French fries – you get the picture. Ice cream is usually on that list, although I don’t actively dislike it. It’s more like I
