Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

October 10, 2012 10 Comments

Spicy Honey Roasted Peanuts

September 19, 2012 Leave a Comment

Guys, can I be honest? I’m not really a big fan of peanuts. Salted peanuts? Bo-ring. Peanut M&M’s? Mehhhh. Peanut butter? No thanks, pass the Nutella.  But you know what I can do some serious damage to? Honey roasted peanuts. I loves me some crunchy, sticky, salty-sweet peanuts.

Chicken Club Egg Rolls with Avocado Ranch Dip

Much to Dan’s despair, I have a deep, deep love for chain restaurants. Applebee’s, Chili’s, TGI Fridays, Cheesecake Factory, CPK — I’m a fan. Of all of them.

I think it’s pretty well established at this point that I am a Nutella fiend. When I’m not eating it with a spoon, I’m sneaking it into just about everything I can get away with. Chocolate chip cookies? Yup. Banana bread? Definitely. Whoopie Pies? You bet. Bread pudding? Uh huh. I may not be able to tell…read more »
