Why hello there. I've been expecting you.

This little tiny blog has exploded from 240 followers to over 2.5 thousand and I really want to take this time to thank you. You are all amazing and you make my heart happy. There's just oooooone little thing. I think I need to explain the blog and Facebook page.

I'm a 26 yr old tattooed, pierced, pink haired foodie. I live with my boyfriend of four years. I'm very traditional but modern at the same time and I love to cook. A lot.  It's gotten to the point where we hardly ever go to restaurants because I would rather cook at home. My other passion is writing. I'm a few courses away from a Journalism degree. Finances got in the way. Life happens. It's fine. Put those together and have you got? Bibbity Bobbity Boo This blog!


That's ME! In a bathroom. Not using it. Just making fishy faces.  That's normal, right?
Welcome. Take a seat. Try the cookies.

Now that my little bio is out of the way, I feel that it's important that i stress that this is also a humor blog. Nothing is supposed to be taken too seriously. I make fun of cheflebrities, shows, networks and life in general. I have the sense of humor of a 15 yr old boy sometimes and a sad internet addiction so expect sarcasm, cursing and memes. You can also expect awesome recipes.

So far I've only seen a few comments from people that thought this was going to be some sort of ode to Martha Stewart. The hell, guys? Seriously? No.

One thought that I was racist for supporting Paula Deen and being from Texas and another was mad because I was rude and called Sandra Dee a lush. Guys? Seriously. WTF, guys? I will post a few green smoothie recipes at a later date to help loosen that constipation.

I definitely encourage sharing recipes. I will post. Revised versions of my own recipes are definitely encouraged. The fresher, the better. I love budget meals that use fresh ingredients. I have a pretty strong aversion to pre-made stuff, but I do sometimes have makeover recipes for those kind of meals. Need help with a recipe? Ask me. I'll give pointers and post that other members can give their advice as well.

Other than that, the main rule is HAVE FUN! Post. Share. Like. Comment. Invite.

And now a recipe for what I made last night. My cheapy version of Chicken Marsala.



                        Chicken Marsala                   Feeds 2

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded or butterflied
2 C fresh sliced mushroom
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 C white wine (traditionally masala, but I used Pinot. Use whatever is on sale)
2 TBS cream cheese
salt, pepper, garlic to taste
1 tsp butter
2 TBS olive oil

Season chicken with s,p and g.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet and brown chicken on both sides. Do not scrub pan. See that brown goodness? That's flavor gold!
Place chicken in oven preheated to 350F until fully cooked.
Meanwhile, in the same pan, add butter and saute onion until almost soft.
Add in mushrooms and continue to saute until both onions and mushrooms are soft.
Stir in cream cheese until melted,
Add white wine and let boil.
Remove from heat. 
Serve sauce over chicken breast and brown rice.
Drink the rest of the wine. You deserve it.
Watch as people are amazed at how freakin' gourmet you are.
