Allergen-free Cupcakes

Of course, as soon as you call something “allergen-free,” somebody is bound to inform you that they are allergic to one or more of the listed ingredients. “Gluten-free, Nut-free, Soy-free, Peanut-free, Dairy-free, Casein-free, Sesame-free, Sunflower-free, Apple-free Vegan Cupcakes” didn’t have the same ring to it, so I went with ‘Allergen-free Cupcakes’ instead.

B*tch Knows Her Chai

It’s been a while. I know. My sister and the three other people who read my blog have really missed it. I just couldn’t seem to get it together. A little too much “vatta” according to the Yoga B*tch. She’s my yoga guru. Picture a yogi taking a swig from a glass of  dry martini [...]

Yes, I know the photo sucks, but I was in a rush. I was running late coming home from work, and I was getting ready for a road trip. Enough excuses. I’ll just get to it. Pesto is one of my favorite things to slather on pasta, bread, or pizza. However, The Punk is allergic [...]

Where the Buffalo Roam?

Photo by Don Debold Okay, so they aren’t buffalo at all. ‘Buffalo’ is the popular name often used to describe North American bison. Apparently, they are two distinctly different animals of the same family but the title would not have made the same impact. Hey, I didn’t make up the song lyrics. I’m just alluding [...]
