Chubby Hubby’s Home Fries…

I got a bunch, and I mean a bunch of request for MDP (for those newer to the blog that stands for My Defense Partner…aka my man) to give his recipe for his home fries that he makes pretty much every weekend. When I told him this he made a face and said you are going to make me do this aren’t you and I smiled. The team jokes and calls him my Chubby Hubby (which I thought had a nice ring with the home fries so I went with it…I don’t find MDP chubby at all) though they all admit they are not sure how he lives with me and doesn’t weigh 500 pounds. :) MDP really cooks about as much as I do when it comes to actual meals…it’s pretty nice to not feel like cooking because you were baking all day and have a man come fix you some chicken, corn, and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The big problem with giving the recipe is that there isn’t one. I mean we have the same ingredients usually (except when his kids come over he melts cheese on top) but how much really just … [Read more...]

I remember my first Food Blogger Conference ever. It was IFBC. It was in Seattle coming back to Seattle this year!) and I thought what the heck. I went there to meet people and I did. It was the first time I met Alice in person (so lovely) and partners in crime for the weekend: Lori, Amanda, and Cheryl. I remember we were sitting in I think an SEO talk while Amanda and I were drinking beer we snuck in to make it a little more exciting (it did help). Lori was giggling at us while she looked at her laptop looking for people who had taken her images/and or recipes. She was engaging in social media as well. I remember looking over from my IPA and thinking Dang like she’s a real food blogger….as in she treats it like her job. And because of her drive and talent Lori has a cookbook (The Recipe Girl Cookbook), on TV segments, sold her book on QVC, and works with many brands. I, I was drinking beer. :) I was recently talking to a very smart business man (and he’s not smart just … [Read more...]

Bloggeritis….

I’m not in school. I haven’t been for a while now. For a while I was a school junkie. I went all the time. I went straight until I turned 31 and moved to WA State and the UW didn’t have the program I was in the middle of. And so I stopped. It’s funny because it didn’t seem like it at the time as it was just what I did, be the perpetual student, collecting degrees (that clearly I do so much with)but wow do I have a lot of schooling. When I had to go to jury duty and they had me fill out the form it asked how many years had a gone to school. 24. That’s a long time. That’s a long time especially to end up as a food blogger. :P Eight years of running this blog is rapidly approaching. Eight years. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been that long or because Seattle has looked like this as of late: But this girl has a giant case of senioritis except the blog version. I have bloggeritis. It’s a thing I swear. Now unlike senioritis I don’t have it because the … [Read more...]

The Skinny….

So it’s Cinco de Mayo on Sunday. For the record Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day (that’s in September), in fact I would guess most people have no idea why we even celebrate it. To me we celebrate it so that Mexican food restaurants and the tequila industry get a boost and people find yet another excuse to get trashed. Speaking of getting trashed, one of the trends I can’t stand is Skinny Girl cocktail type items. It’s booze. Booze does not make you fat because of all the calories. Booze makes you fat because once you drink just enough you don’t care and a half plate of nachos and your boyfriends fries get inhaled and somehow find yourself calling out for Del Taco. So let me introduce you to the Peabody Skinny Chick Margarita. You might also know it by its other name…a shot of tequila. That’s right for just 96 calories you can do a shot of tequila. Suck on a lime for a bit if you want a more margarita flavor. There you go. My easiest recipe to … [Read more...]
