Culinary Adventures: Frustration Apples.

As with most things in life, I honestly didn’t plan for there to be a huge gap or break between my last recipe and this one. The coronavirus pandemic, and the state of things politically, really has been a doozy for so many people in so many ways. For those that don’t know, I’m a…

Culinary Adventures: My YouTube Channel.

One of the things that annoy me the most about the online cooking videos floating around and being shared all over the place is the fact that 95.8464% ( that’s a very scientific number, I promise) of them use the same music on it. I know that people can’t just use any type of music…

Recipe: Honey Spiced Pear Cake.

The cake is buttery, crumbly, moist, and tender. It’s a double layer, but the recipe is easily cut in half to make a single layer. Unfortunately, there’s no pictures of every single step…I’m the cook AND photographer, so I didn’t feel like washing my hands after every single step before I man-handled my camera. The…
