Manageability – Real easy, real good. A typical white Russian only has three ingredients: Kahlua, vodka, cream. And yeah, that’s fine if you’re the Dude. But just add a few holiday spices, change the vodka to vanilla, top with a tiny gingerbread man, and friend you have got a new holiday classic in the formContinue reading “The Kitchen is My Playground’s Gingerbread White Russians”

Manageability – No problem at all. Everybody loves a cupcake. They’re cute and tasty, and that’s the best of both worlds. Now add hot chocolate, mini marshmallows, and buttercream, and chocolate syrup, and add Christmas, and fudge mix, and you have the best of… how many worlds is that? Nine worlds? Who cares, these HotContinue reading “The Domestic Rebel’s Hot Chocolate Cupcakes”

Manageability – Chopping and refreshing. I don’t like gin. It’s too stanky, and the juniper berries are not enough to overcome the flavor of boozey booze-booze. It tastes like rubbing alcohol. And did you know it’s made with the runoff/leftovers from vodka? It’s the lowest of the still, and they tart it up with botanicalsContinue reading “Aberdeen’s Kitchen’s Classic Pimm’s Cup Cocktail”

Manageability – Achievable. Some recipes require real attention to detail. Not only in the directions but in the measurements and timing. It’s lucky for me that I’m a detail-oriented person, but I know that isn’t the case for everybody. Just look at sloths. Those lazy jerks can’t even open their eyes all the way. ButContinue reading “Half Baked Harvest’s Parmesan Popovers with Crispy Sage Garlic Butter”

Manageability – Easy enough for even the most basic of b*tches. There’s a general idea about what it means to be “basic” during Fall weather. Ugg boots, a pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin selfies at a pumpkin patch while you pumpkin your pumpkin-pumpkins. But you know what? Basic things are basic because people like them. They’reContinue reading “Martha Stewart’s Maple-Cream Sandwich Cookies”

Manageability – Easy and Fun It’s spooky season, y’all! Time to get your costumes bought, get your candy loaded up (no circus peanuts), and make some season-appropriate, Halloween-themed Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers from Everyday Jenny. They’re tasty, they’re fun, they’re a little bit messy, but they are a win! Cooking chicken in a crockContinue reading “Everyday Jenny’s Shredded Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers”

Manageability – Beautiful Once again, it’s cupcakes to the rescue. A tasty, fun, cute dessert that look like it took you a long time to make, but really did not at all. These Mickey Mouse Cupcakes from Sweets and Treats are super easy and literally perfect. This isn’t even really a recipe for cupcakes, perContinue reading “Sweets and Treats’ Mickey Mouse Cupcakes”

Manageability – Piece of cake. Listen to me, and listen well. Vanilla cake is the best cake of all the cakes. Don’t @ me on this. So when it was my nephew Tyson’s birthday and I was actually commissioned to make a cake, I went with Love, Life, and Sugar’s Moist Vanilla Layer Cake. HappyContinue reading “Love, Life, and Sugar’s Moist Vanilla Layer Cake”

Manageability – Only the Queen, Martha, can do it. I know Martha’s recipes are tough, but this particular cloud cake recipe was a messy coconut explosion of frustration and unhappiness. Think you got what it takes to be the Queen? Have a go at Martha Stewart’s Coconut Cloud Cake, you risk-taker. Where. To. Start. It’sContinue reading “Martha Stewart’s Coconut Cloud Cake”

Manageability – Simple like Syrup. Ouzo is an interesting liquid, that’s for sure. I’d compare the smell to absinthe or Sambuca, but it’s lighter and has a different kick. It’s so mysterious they named the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie after it (The Secret of the Ouzo). I would never recommend drinking it byContinue reading “Eleni Saltas’s Ouzito – Greek Ouzo Mojito”
