Turkey Jerky For Your Pets

This is a guest post from Holy Cannoli Recipes.

When this time of year rolls around, everyone is all hyped up over the Super Bowl. I never grew up in a sports family and thankfully I only had to deal with football on Thanksgiving when my uncles would take over the T.V. Truth be told, I am just not that into football and I don't really understand any of it, except for you aim to get the ball on the other side of the field. So it comes to no shock to a lot of people when I tell that that instead of watching football on Sunday, I plan on watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. More Here...

What's the deal with all this food contamination? I didn't even know there was an orange juice recall a while back until my cousin told me as I was drinking orange juice. More Here...

Surprisingly Good: Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

I've been craving ice cream lately. I finally bought some last night to enjoy while watching Archer. The market I was at has a limited supply of actual ice cream, they had some Ben and Jerry's, but I wasn't interested in any of the flavors. I rarely buy frozen yogurt because usually it's just not that good. I went with this Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt because it looked pretty promising and I LOVE coffee flavored anything.

Wow. I couldn't and still can't believe how good this was! More Here...

Veggie Chips!

I'm not a fan of vegetables (especially carrots) but it's good to eat them once in a while. I love chips and I love junk food. What better than Veggie Chips?

The first time I tried these, I bought them because I was curious about it. From the first bite, to the last crunch...I fell in love!! More Here...

Super Bowl Wing Recipes From a Top Chef!

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:00:00 GMT

This is a guest post from Savory Bites.

This post is going to be short and sweet. Honestly, I could care less for football. All I care about are the WINGS!! I don’t even know how to play the damn game. Back in high school, my lacrosse coach would dedicate a day to tag football. All I did was run in one direct to catch the ball. Couldn’t understand downs for the life of me. I’ve given up on learning.

WINGS. WINGS GALORE!!! If I had a deep fryer, I’d totally try these out. Maybe I’ll attempt them in my saute pan. In any case, the following recipes are from Chef Floyd Cardoz winner of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters and Executive Chef and Partner of North End Grill in Battery Park. More Here...

Pom-Lemon Martini

This is a guest post from For The Love of Cooking.

Would you like a great cocktail to make for your friends this Super Bowl Sunday? My friend Kyle made this drink for me last weekend and it was DELICIOUS. It had a wonderful pomegranate and lemon flavor and boy did it have a nice kick to it! The sugar rim helped make this tart drink extra tasty and beautiful. At first we just garnished with lemon but later on we added some pomegranate seeds and they were a great addition. More Here...

Jalapeno Hush Puppies

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:00:00 GMT

Last night I decided to cook up some fried catfish, hush puppies, & homemade fries. Let's just say after my meal I ended up dying and going to heaven. Yummy, yummy, YUMMY! The one thing that I couldn't keep my hands off of, was these hush puppies I made. They were absolutely divine. I honestly can say that I've never ever had hush puppies as good as these were. Whenever I open my restaurant and if they fit with my menu, I am so going to put these on there! More Here...

Restaurants I Want to Visit in 2012

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

I'm a girl who loves trying new food and new restaurants. I also review restaurants and food places on Yelp. One of the great things about Yelp is that there is a section called "Bookmarks" where I can bookmark restaurants to try and I currently have a list of 38 places to try.

This year I really want to be able to try most of the restaurants on my list. These are the top seven restaurants I want to visit this year, no excuses. More Here...

Ben & Jerry's Flavor Review: Mint Chocolate Cookie

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:30:00 GMT

I am a Ben & Jerry's fanatic. Okay, well maybe not fanatic but I really love their ice cream. Luckily for me Ben & Jerry's is sold at almost every grocery store in New York. My all-time favorite flavor is Mint Chocolate Cookie. The sad part about this is that my grocery store rarely carries this flavor, so to my shock when I saw it in the freezer, I immediately grabbed a pint.

My grocery store goes through waves of carrying my favorite items (Lays Honey Mustard chips) and then they disappear for a few weeks. It gets kind of annoying especially for me when I crave certain products/flavors, I need to satisfy them as soon as possible. Let me tell you why Mint Chocolate Cookie has earned the title of my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor. More Here...
