The Pescetarian and the Pig

Happy Valentine’s Day! So, even though I recently revealed that I have never had a Valentine before, I love Valentine’s Day. I love hearts and chocolate and that everything is pink and cheesy. I even went to go see that movie, The Vow, on Sunday, hoping that it would make me bawl my eyes out at […]

Oops! I did it again! I got boozy with my dessert, but I think I’ve created a winner. So, with it being February and all, I’m of course thinking about Valentine’s Day and Cupid and pink and red and chocolate and roses…. Well, I haven’t really been thinking about that, but when I walk into […]

For some reason, nachos have been my craving for months now. Literally months. And now, with the Superbowl coming up (can you believe it’s almost February?) I had the perfect excuse to make a heaping dish of hot, cheesy tortilla chips smothered in piles of roasted vegetables and Greek yogurt… Just so I could share […]

Modifying your chocolate is so easy, yet so satisfying. Sometimes I fantasize about all of the various flavors I can combine with chocolate that I wouldn’t normally be able to find in the store and I just start experimenting. This here recipe is an experiment gone totally right. This combination of flavors… OOH-WEE! And the […]

Tomato Avocado & Vegemite Grilled Cheese Sandwich Don’t be scared: This might be one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches you’ve ever tasted. Vegemite, you say? What the heck is Vegemite?

Hey hey it’s my birthday! And did someone ask for a little slice of heaven for dessert? Because I brought you some! Smooth, thick, creamy vanilla deliciousness between layers of delicate puff pastry and a simple fruit glaze on top. Readily available in Australia, this is my father’s favorite dessert. I kid you not when […]

Alright, before we get to this awesome blend of spicy, zesty, juicy, and sweet shrimpy deliciousness, I have to point out this incredible gem of cinematic genius: I just can’t get over how funny this scheme is. All the effort to turn him into a flea, put him in a box, in yet another box, […]

So you hate Brussels Sprouts, do ya? Trust me, I get it. I had this sort of vague memory that as a child I once ate brussels sprouts at my grandma’s house and really loved them. But then I never ate them again. So when I was about 22  I remembered  loving them so much […]

People are funny about resolutions. There is a huge rise in the amount of people at the gym for the first 20 days or so of the year. Most people pledge to eat healthy and exercise more for the new year and finally get into shape. Some are just trying to lose the 5-10 lbs […]

Happy New Year! Wow, 2011 was a quick year. Is it just me? I want to do a re-cap, but seriously, this year whooshed by so quickly I’m not even sure I remember what happened! A few noteworthy memories… Cupcake celebrated her first birthday! My duck, Banana Sandwich, celebrated her first birthday too! The Pescetarian […]
