Tuesdays with Dorie - Cherry Something Cobbler
The comment turn-out was huge for my last TWD entry. Maybe if I make stuff explode every time, people will continue to love me. I just got back from a five-day vacation, so I have a lot of reading to do. I’ll be meme-ing and reading your blogs in the near future. At any rate, [...]

I love Kashi. I can attribute a great deal of my 130-lb. weight loss to their GoLean and GoLean Crunch cereals. They manage to make tasty cereals that are packed with essentials (protein, fiber, whathaveyou). For my three-plus years as a vegetarian, they were one of my favorite protein sources. Additionally, [...]

Here is a recipe that I developed based upon a few recent experiments in the kitchen. The result is a cheap, easy, healthy, fast, and filling dessert.
MIKE SPOODLES’ SUPER-HEALTHY “APPLE CRISP”
INGREDIENTS
1 Granny Smith apple
1 1/2 Cup Wheaties
3 Tbsp. milk

Mike Spoodles’ Old-Timey Hobo Vegetable Soup
For the past three weeks, I’ve been actually cooking. Homemade vegetable soup, sir. Sure, it’s a meal that requires absolutely no maintenance, but it is fresher than anything you’re going to nuke up in the microwave. In a world drowning in preservatives and sassafrass (the ‘frass is not to be confused with sassafras, which is [...]

Welp.
For two-and-a-half years, I ate the same thing every day: Kashi GoLean, Wheaties, apples, Lite & Fit yogurt, Boca vegan burgers, broccoli, and protein shakes. I lost 120 pounds. I was maintaining with 1800 calories at about 180 pounds.
Two weeks ago, I added variety into my diet. I’ve upped my calories to 2000. I’ve actually [...]
Numbers
Rabbits have a life expectancy of 5 to 15 years. Rats are expected to live from 2 to 3 years before they die of old age. These animals are domesticated, kept in the safest of conditions; they have doctors that specialize in animal care; they are sustained by diets that are specifically tailored to the [...]

I was at the grocery store the other day looking at the candy section and shaking my head. And why? Limited Edition candies, of course.
The candy companies have been releasing the things for years and years, of course, but slapping the words “Limited Edition” on them is a fairly recent phenomenon. We used to call [...]
Gummi Rabbit: the other white meat
My previous run-in with gummies–the dreaded Wolfgang’s Gummy Bears–was slightly less than palatable, so I was eager to get my teef’ on some real and tasty gummy treats. I cracked open another bag from the same era (April 2006–a very good vintage). Will they be as terrifying?
The product of the day is a bulk candy [...]
A shout-out to my Peeps
Yes, that’s right. That’s eight, count ‘em, eight packages of virgin Marshmallow Peeps in FIVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS, just ripe for the plucking. Every pack-o’-Peeps has a story, and every story has a beginning. And an end. And creamy, marshmallow innards.
Note that I was originally going to have a charming picture of each Peeps package [...]
