Quick Recipe: Wildberry Pancakes
One of the absolute best parts about Summer? Besides the warm weather, longer days, lack of snow, cool thunderstorms, and vacation for some people, there is the oft-overlooked factor of fresh produce, specifically berries. Whether you have your own berry bushes in your yard or you’re able to hit up a local farm which sells their own, nothing beats nice freshly picked berries (especially blueberries)! You can use them pretty much in anything, but a longtime favorite is in baked goods and breakfast foods. I mean, sure you can just eat them on their own, by why do that when you can put those suckas inside of a pancake? It looks and tastes super deluxe, and it will definitely be something you miss, come Winter.
Food 101: How To Make Bibimbap, Donburi, Rice Bowls, Etc…
One of my big things I like to preach to people unexperienced in the cooking world is the importance of leftovers. Leftovers are the best utility at your disposal when it comes to making lunch, and can really help out at dinner too. I bring this up because of the versatility of everyone’s favorite starch: rice. Leftover rice is a brilliant tool that can form the basis for an entire lunch pretty easily. The easiest way to do this is through what’s known as a “rice bowl”. They’re delicious, easy, healthy, and can be made with pretty much anything lying around.
Quick Recipe: Maple Glazed Pulled Chicken
Back last year we featured a delicious Fall-themed pizza which had an awesome mini-recipe inside of it. On the pizza we added some pulled chicken, cooked in an awesome combination of maple syrup and soy sauce. It was sweet, sticky, dark, complex, and other adjectives which could describe your sex-life. Most importantly of all though, it was delicious. For today’s quick recipe, we’re featuring the full details for it. Put it on sandwiches or just eat it on its own, it doesn’t matter, just put it in your body somehow.
The Snack Report: Oreo Thins
Oreo just keeps on crankin’ out new flavors and varieties. Earlier this year, we took a look at S’Mores Oreos, which were actually pretty awesome. On one hand, it’s getting kind of tiring seeing them shill out inane ideas like red velvet and key lime, but at the same time there is a tiny bit of excitement in seeing what crazy crossover they’ll do next. Their newest addition to the product family is a bit of an enigma, Oreo Thins. They’re essentially your regular old original Oreos, but half the thickness. That’s all there is to them, yet they’ve caused a little bit of a stir on social media and people I know for whatever reason. Apparently people are interested in them.
*Interest intensifies*
