So I got my hands on some pork loin earlier today. Didn’t have any immediate plans for it. At first, I imagined slicing it into thick chops and grilling them to perfection. I could already taste the juicy, savory flavor, with a crispy char on the outside. Maybe I could even marinate the chops overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger, to give them an extra kick of flavor.

Crazy for Chicken
I had recently stocked up on chicken, buying a bulk pack from the grocery store to save some money. But as I stared into my freezer, I realized that I had gone a little overboard. I had so much chicken that I didn’t know what to do with it all. And that’s when the crazy ideas started popping into my head.
Butter Cookies
Ya know those blue round tins everyone’s grandma has? Usually it’s their “sewing kit”. Or something or other…. How many of you ever found, or even were able to eat the cookies inside?
Hey Punkin!
Because it’s that time of year – I had some leftover can of pumpkin. Don’t judge! Anyways, let’s put these babies to good use and make something… of course it’s cookies!!! Do you even have to ask?!?!?!?!
Red Velvet Christmas Cupcakes
Okay okay… yes I have noticed a common theme here. Snacks, cupcakes, cakes. Is that so bad? As Christmas approached, I knew that it was time to start planning my holiday menu. Every year, I looked forward to whipping up a variety of special snacks and treats that my family and I could enjoy throughout the holiday season. One of my favorite snacks to make was a batch of homemade gingerbread cookies. I loved the warmth and spice of the ginger, and the way the cookies turned out soft and chewy. As I mixed together the dough, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and anticipation for the holiday season. Another snack that I always made for Christmas was a batch of homemade caramel popcorn. I loved the way the sweet and salty flavors combined, and how the popcorn had just the right amount of crunch. As I popped the kernels and drizzled them with homemade caramel sauce, the scent of sugar and butter filled the air. As the days ticked by and Christmas drew closer, my kitchen became a flurry of activity. I baked pies, whipped up batches of fudge, and experimented with new recipes for festive drinks and appetizers. Every time I tasted a new creation, I felt a sense of joy! But what I want to talk about is is cupcakes. Obviously. Red velvet cupcakes are a mystery to me… there is nothing really special about them aside from their color. They’re basically barely-chocolate flavored…
