Hamburger Helper Sushi Rolls
It’s fun to play with your food sometimes. I particularly like taking some good old hearty comfort food (like mac and cheese, for instance) and dressing it up to make it seem classy or elegant. In this case, the target was Hamburger Helper, so I rolled it up to look like a fresh rolled piece of sushi! These cute little rolls would be the hit of any party. But how can you achieve such a feat? Hamburger Helper is thick, but not THAT thick. I... Read More
Breakfast Lasagna
When your family is staying over for the holidays, it’s important to have a go-to breakfast that is unique, uses minimal dishes and can be made the night before (and finished in the oven in the morning). If you don’t have this type of breakfast ready to go, you can suddenly become a short order cook and have to make everyone eggs to their exact personal specifications. Well, I’m here to tell you this Breakfast Lasagna is the breakfast y... Read More

Bacon-Wrapped Sushi
I had this moment while making this dish—a cross between glee and terror. I had no idea if bacon sushi would actually work, but I knew that if it did…it would probably be delicious. It did require a bit of patience and some finesse, but bacon-wrapped sushi can be done. When you stuff it with seasoned Spanish rice and melted cheese you get something that I’m sure falls squarely outside of most traditional cuisine. It falls squarel... Read More
Mac ‘n Cheese Pizza
Should you have mac and cheese tonight, or pizza? Well, how about both?! That’s right! Two of your favorite comfort foods just came together to make a stellar new dinner idea – Mac n Cheese Pizza! It’s cheesy, it’s full of flavor, and can literally come together in under 20 minutes. All you need is your favorite macaroni (this is a great use for leftovers!), some Pillsbury artisan whole wheat pizza crust, extra cheese and topping... Read More
Red Velvet Ravioli
George Costanza once said “I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable.” Well, this fall, it very well might be! Velvet is apparently back in fashion if the trend watchers are to be believed. Seems like all the big names had velvet in their fall lines. Maybe I should get a nice red velvet jumpsuit and start wearing it to my job... Actually, for my money I prefer another much cheaper type of red velvet—one that never... Read More
Red Velvet Rolls, If You Please
I’m wearing a sweatshirt as I write this post. I have goosebumps on my arms and legs. The leaves outside are threatening to change colors and there’s dew on the ground. DEW, people. Do you know what this means? It means I’m going to need a hearty and delicious breakfast to get me up and at ‘em during this rapid transition to the cooler months. Whether you need a little boost before putting on your backpack and heading off to the schoo... Read More
Burrito Summer Roll
These days it feels like my life revolves around tacos and burritos. I’ve been working hard to help open a burrito shop, and as you can imagine, burritos somehow seep into every aspect of my waking life. And when I’m not awake, I even dream about them! This recipe came from me taking home lots of leftovers night after night, and finally getting sick of eating just burritos over and over again. I had some Vietnamese rice paper in the pa... Read More
10 Crazy Ways to Pimp your Bugles
My childhood memories can be broken down into two categories: Eating Bugles, and not eating them. One category is filled with happy times of putting the chips on my fingers and eating them one by one; the other...well, I’d rather not talk about it. In case you don’t know, Bugles are the bomb-diggety. So much so, I just said “bomb diggety.” And this probably will never happen again. So, if your childhood is void of any blissful memorie...

PB&J Potato Candy
I remember visiting my grandmother’s house as a child; she would occasionally have out a plate of strangely soft and slightly sweet candies. “What are these?” I would ask. “They are special candies.” My grandmother would reply. After a few years, I learned that what my grandmother meant by “special” was “made from leftover potatoes.” They were very tasty though, so I could’ve cared less what they were made from! Now...

Ham and Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Calzones
Now I’ve really gone and done it. No, really, I have. And I’m just… so… happy. You see, for a while now – before these Ham & Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Calzones came into my life and now it will never be the same – I’d been devising a plan to figure out how to stuff a sandwich into a pretzel, or how to make a pretzel-covered corn dog, or how to put pizza fillings inside a pretzel stick, or how to make a pizza crust that tasted...
