Tuesdays with Dorky (and the temple of chocolate)
Gold, I tell you! Everything I touch turns to gold! I’ve been winning grand awards left and right!
I recently won a contest at Tuesdays with Dorie, giving me a free baking cookbook (and a seat among the hallowed TWD blogroll). TWD is a baking event. Every week, a recipe is picked from the [...]
Amazing Black Bean Brownies: good for your heart, make you etc.
My last post was a recipe post, I guess. More, it was just a suggestion post. This here is my first post where I actually experimented with ingredients and made foods that did not taste like crunchy water!
I have an ever-increasing backlog of recipes that I kinda-sorta want to try, but will probably never get [...]
Eating out: it’s not ONLY beneficial to your ladyfriend

Plus, [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
