Earlier this month, I had the esteemed pleasure of taking a long weekend down way way south and indulge in [...]

Just brownies?

Dori with beautiful brownie goodness.

No. It’s not “just brownies,” it’s a way of life.

For the past 23 years, eating brownies sans nuts was the norm in my household. It wasn’t until I was in college and working in a restaurant when a co-worker told me she was a baker and loved making brownies. And [...]

Dear Monster, with love

I love you, Monster, no matter how ginormous you are…

It’s all about the bacon-ness, baby

If it were any regular cheeseburger, I wouldn’t have to talk about it.

But it’s the Cowboy burger from Charm City Burger Co. in Deerfield Beach, and it’s like it was made just for fat kids like me.
