Manageability – Sloppy; Seconds. July is the height of grilling season. The sun is high in the sky, the little kids are running for the sprinklers, and you just got done mowing the grass with your gym shorts on. It’s time for dinner, and I recommend these phenomenal Garlic Overload Burgers by Daily Dish. AndContinue reading “Daily Dish’s Garlic Overload Burgers With Creamy Garlic Burger Sauce”

Manageability – No fuss from me. Light and sweet. Easy and fun. Tasty, tempting, and binge-worthy. All of these describe both my current addiction to 90 Day Fiance, and these Pink Champagne Cupcakes from Fantabulosity. No real important notes about this recipe, which is a win because these cupcakes are absolutely dynamite, and you’ll haveContinue reading “Fantabulosity’s Pink Champagne Cupcakes”

Manageability – Food, Folks, and Bull Shit. Look, I’m not stupid. I’m a smart person. I went to law school, and I can almost always figure out how a magician does a trick. So I refuse to allow this recipe to make me feel like a damn fool. But something must have gone wrong, becauseContinue reading “Food, Folks, and Fun’s Beef Negimaki”

Manageability – Medium Tedium So, you’ve made it to the next level of the challenge. You’ve dominated Cafe Delites’ Chinese Barbecue Pork Belly (Char Siu), but now you’re like “wait, how am I going to eat this delicious tasty pork? With a spoon like a stupid damn fool? Of course not! Whatever will I do?!?”Continue reading “Omnivore’s Cookbook’s Char Siu Bao”

And much like the Tango, the Cafe Delites’ Sticky Chinese BarbecueContinue reading “Cafe Delites’ Sticky Chinese Barbecue Pork Belly (Char Siu)”

Manageability – Your fortune says that you will love these. Matcha is one of those flavors that has the potential to destroy a perfectly good cupcake recipe. Luckily, this is not true here. The Imperial Sugar’s Green Tea Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting utilized the matcha perfectly, without overpowering the tasty sweetness. The lemonContinue reading “Imperial Sugar’s Green Tea Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting”

Manageability – Creamy Craziness Normally I would suggest a bib if you were eating lobster, or you were some kind of a baby. But the Pioneer Woman’s Cream Puffs should be added to that list. These guys explode with cream, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Look, having never made pastry cream before, maybeContinue reading “The Pioneer Woman’s Cream Puffs”

Manageability – Too much cooking, not enough drinking. You know, when you’re making a drink and trying to relax on taco night, you just don’t want to be sweating over the stove for an hour for your marg. The most you should have to do is blend. I don’t want to make simple syrup, andContinue reading “The Sweetest Occasion’s Raspberry Swirl Pineapple Mango Margarita”

Manageability – Easy because I used peeled, deveined shrimp I don’t eat a lot of shrimps. Normally I need them teeny-tiny, and breaded/fried with some bang-bang sauce, but The Girl with the Iron Cast’s Spicy Shrimp Tacos were plenty tasty and I didn’t need to bang-bang. Marinade is important here, but it’s not that badContinue reading “Girl With the Iron Cast’s Spicy Shrimp Tacos”
