We Can do it Better: Taco Bell Chicken Flatbread Sandwich
Erik has already admitted to being a recovering Taco Bell addict. The thing that makes this journey the hardest, and most temps relapse are their cheap chicken flatbreads. The one he specifically misses the most is the chipotle chicken flatbread. The chipotle chicken flatbread sandwiches were originally released in the summer of 2011 for a limited time, and have occasionally been re-released for limited runs since then. The sandwiches were made on square flatbreads with marinated grilled chicken, cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella cheeses, and a chipotle sauce. A simple, but delicious concoction.
This is a picture of the Taco Bell version, if you couldn’t tell.
Luckily for Erik, and you dear reader, it’s absurdly easy to make your own Taco Bell chicken flatbread sandwiches at home.
Food 101: How To Make Whipped Cream
Condiments are an interesting aspect of food. They make so many foods taste better, yet on their own they’re pretty disgusting. I can’t imagine eating french fries without ketchup, but the thought of downing a big ol’ bowl of ketchup is pretty gag inducing. There’s sauces you throw on top of roasted meats and fried foods and other dinner fare, and the same goes for dessert too. Possibly the most well known and versatile of the dessert condiments is whipped cream. Creamy and light, whipped cream is delicious on everything from ice cream to boobs. Most people know it exclusively through ready-made whipped cream from a pressurized can, which works in a pinch. But nothing beats thick, luscious homemade whipped cream, which believe it or not is surprisingly easy to make.

Adventures in Cheese Making: Ricotta and Ricotta Salata
If you’ve visited this blog before, you could probably tell that we enjoy cheese. We specially ordered Limburger from the internet just to try it (and later discovered we could actually buy it locally), we support a local dairy farm by occasionally buying cheese from them, and our first real date night after I finished classes last semester involved us going to a fancy cheese shop. We may be a tiny bit obsessed with cheese. But who isn’t? It’s wonderful. As part of our enjoyment of cheese I bought Erik a cheese making kit for Christmas. A few weeks ago we finally got to try it out.
If Mad Millie wants to send us free cheese stuff for giving her a plug on our blog, I won’t object…
The Snack Report: Marshmallow Crispy Oreos
I have a lot of respect for Oreos. Their original, chocolate cookie/vanilla cream flavor is beloved by millions; they could easily rest on their laurels and do nothing more than make those cookies (and maybe double stuff too) and still probably make a bajillion dollars. But they don’t let being America’s #1 cookie make them lazy. They’re always coming out with new flavors to tempt our taste buds. They currently have 8 flavors out (in addition to the regular one), with the two newest being Marshmallow Crispy and Cookie Dough. We recently bought the Marshmallow Crispy flavor to try and let you know what we think.
