Whereupon I crack out on Mexican food at Blue Bonnet

So I’m still not sure who decided Blue Bonnet was a good name for a Mexican restaurant. I mean, you’d think they’d at least call it Capo Azul or something? Anyhow, I ended up going to Blue Bonnet over on Broadway in South Denver with a few friends not too long ago, and it was [...]

Holy Veggie Curry, Batman!

So I recently had the fortune to acquire from a coworker a zucchini of epic proportions. I’ve been feeding off of this sucker for weeks (well, off and on at least), and still have some left. After awhile, fried zucchini and zucchini bread just don’t cut it anymore. I don’t think I’ve never used zucchini [...]

My Delightful Sushi Rampage

I’ve been on a sushi kick lately. A big reason for this is because, on a recent thrift store visit, I bought what is pretty much the Best Plate Ever. It’s a copper plate made by Del Campo in Italy which I picked up for $2. I hadn’t heard of Del Campo until I saw [...]

Japanese Cravings + Fridge Remnants = Veggie Sushi

Lately, all the sushi I’ve been making has been frou frou fancy sushi with bacon and strange objects wrapped around the rolls and whatnot. Not that these haven’t been fabulously delicious, but the cleanup time (and prep time, for that matter) can be a bit of a pain. Which is why it’s nice to make [...]

Bringing In The New Year With Lazy Processed Food: Yay Mac and Cheese!

Yeah, it’s the holidays and all, but I’ve been a bum lately. No post in over a week, for shame! And because of the post I’m about to make, all of the interesting food I ate over the holidays won’t get written about until January, when anyone who reads the posts will be so sick [...]

How To Make Really Awful Vegetable/Veggie Chips

It’s not like I set out to make things that turn out poorly, I really don’t. And mind you, with as many liberties as I take with some of the things I set out to make, I pretty much expect awful things to get birthed in my kitchen on a pretty regular basis. Still, it [...]

Cheese and Potato Knishes Made With Bisquick

Once upon a time, many moons ago, I tried to make knishes. Potato and cheese filled knishes, if I remember correctly (a true comfort food if there ever was one). Now, my dough skills aren’t quite at the point I’d even call a “skill”. It’s more like I have dough unskills. And with that first [...]

Quesadillas Are Awesome

So I used to be super into grilled cheese sandwiches back in the day. Still am, mind you, but not to the extent that I was when I was, say, 9 years old. As I grew older, I started moving away from the traditional American “cheese in a plastic wrapper with white bread” versions, experimenting [...]

The Awesomeness of Eggrolls

It is a rather well known fact that eggrolls are awesome. Can you really go wrong with tubes filled with things then fried in oil? Nope, you indeed can’t. I’ve never tried to make my own eggrolls before. And, being as adventurous as I am (or rather, lacking the common sense that other people that [...]

The Magic of Manicotti

So it is a very well known fact that cheese is one of the most delicious substances known to mankind. Because of this, I try to find as many ways to consume it as possible. One of the most efficient ways to get cheese inside of your stomach as deliciously as possible is via manicotti. [...]
