(Who doesn't love Chinese food!?!) I have to admit I order Chinese food at least once a week. It's the best drunken late-night, next-day microwavable, "I don't feel like cooking" meal you can get on a budget. Not to mention there seems to be a Chinese restaurant within a mile of any direction you turn in most major cities. While it is pretty affordable it can still take a toll on your bank account so it's time you learn how to make that shit at home. Check out my recipe for

(Treat Yo' Self) There are very few cultures in the world who do not use rice, or some grain, as a staple in their cuisine. It’s affordable, filling, and versatile enough that it can flow between being the side dish or the main course with ease. This particular recipe calls for it to be the star of the show and it’s one of my favorites because it involves a bottle of wine as a main ingredient, or at least that's the way I cook it! I believe the traditional northern Italian wa

Hands down Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is the best pizza in the country and I don't care what anyone says, fight me b*tch. 😂 If you haven't had it yet you are definitely missing out. I won't say all other pizza is trash but I will always hold this meaty, cheesy, sauce beast of a meal in high regard. No matter where you happen to order it from it's going to be rich and full of flavor and word to the wise, never try to eat it in one sitting unless you're ready for a nap. If I've p

Let's face it, after over a year of a global pandemic some things will never be the same. People will carry sanitizer with them everywhere, learning and working online will be the new norm, and cooking habits have changed to accommodate all the shit we no longer do. More than 64% of global food consumers say they are tailoring their life and products to their individual needs so it makes sense that predicted food trends from last year have missed the mark. However, these 5 fo

If you're unfamiliar with what a dump dinner is your life is about to change forever. Dump dinners are essentially a one-pot meal that you can prepare ahead of time and pop in the oven (or pot/pan) when you're ready to eat. It's so f*cking convenient, especially when you're feeding the family but have other shit to do. The best part is there are a ton of 5 ingredient recipes that get the job done without having to drain your wallet or keep you in the kitchen longer than need

(It's National Cheesecake Day) Today is probably the creamiest, sweetest, most delicious holiday of the year. It's National Cheesecake Day! American style Cheesecake as we know it supposedly dates back to the 1800s with the accidental invention of cream cheese but some say it actually dates back to ancient Greece. Regardless of how old that shit is, the dairy-focused and often easy to make dessert is a favorite among summer snack lovers and has more varieties than you can han

(Try This Recipe) Who Doesn't F*cking Love Ice Cream? As a kid I chased the ice cream truck whenever I heard the jingle coming down the block, as an adult working from home, I do the same damn thing 😜. It's the perfect summer treat and even though it's not the healthiest it's always worth it. The only drawback was the ice cream truck had limited flavors, luckily I loved vanilla. It's National Ice Cream Day and I figure we could all celebrate by stepping our game up and makin

When I was a kid my grandmother made my ass stay at the table all night if I refused to eat broccoli. I literally fell asleep on the table and then would go to bed hungry. Back then I hated it. Now, as a somewhat healthy adult, I put that shit in everything. Riced broccoli, broccoli salad, broccoli in my green juice, you name it. It could be that I just got over the taste, more likely it's probably because my taste buds have changed. Think about it, how many foods did you hat

I f*cking love a good cooking show especially if it's a competition! You learn so much from watching chefs of all skills and levels stress out because they over-chilled their ice cream or left their duck in the oven too long. You learn even more from the judges who built up years of experience and are more often than not overly critical of the tiniest mistake. Honestly, the judges are the star of the show. Their personalities range from sweet and supportive to the biggest ass

(Cause Your Body Needs It) The last few weeks have been filled with plenty of celebratory food and drinks at the kickback and if you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did you probably need some healthy shit to balance it all out. If you missed my recipe for a detox green juice you can check it out here, but if you're looking for something more substantial this list is perfect for you. Each recipe is full of good fats, healthy proteins, and a bunch of veggies that will have yo

Who doesn't love a snack on a stick? It's unofficial but at some point in 2019 the people decided to make July 9th the day we celebrate the delicious creation known as the Kebab. Traditionally, Kebabs are savory spiced meats shaped around a stick/spit and slow-roasted to perfection but over the years it's taken on a whole new life. Now, a "kebab" could be a mix of meats and assorted veggies, just veggies, or technically even the illustrious American corn dog (a stretch, I kno

(We're Still Grilling Baby) We're still in prime grilling season and with the 4th of July holiday taking place this weekend, I see no better reason to have a backyard BBQ! Picture it, sunshine, great music, and tasty ass food. It's perfect. The only thing that can make it better is if the guesswork for your food menu was taken out of the situation...oh wait, I got you. Check out this menu, and a few recipes, of the staples you need to make this weekend. What you should grill:

Over the years I've seen many debates on what is considered a sandwich and as a sandwich lover, I have a very strong opinion (Check out this post if you want to see it) on what falls into this category of deliciousness. Some say anything between two pieces of bread is appropriate, which includes hot dogs, hamburgers, bratwurst, etc. While others, like me, solely believe it has to be two flat pieces of bread and generally deli meat. Someone out there decided to end this debate

If there is one thing I want you to take away from this post it's the understanding spices are the most essential item you need to have in your damn kitchen! We're too old to not know the joy of flavor and regardless of your level of chef skills having the right spice profiles will help elevate any of your meals. The best part is with pre-packaged blends you don't have to worry if you're using the right amount or mix which means there is no excuse for you to have bland ass fo

July 1st is international wing day and I will be dammed if I pass up an opportunity to celebrate the best party appetizer ever! Wings come in so many varieties that you can literally eat a different kind every day of the week and still have more flavors to try. There's a reason wings are sold at almost every bar or restaurant and even become some of the biggest chains in the country (Buffalo wild wings). Celebrate this unofficial holiday by cooking up some wings, and if you

(Cause we have to turn up the right way) Juneteenth is officially a national holiday and what better way to celebrate than with some delicious ass food! If you're not familiar June 19th or Juneteenth is the day the last slaves in Texas were notified they were free and of course to people of color this is a huge deal, hence this day has become a day of celebration. And how do we celebrate? With dope-ass food! Since it's summer, and we're already talking about Texas, there's o
