Let's talk Dads for a second.
Dads rule, am I right?
My dad definitely rules. And I promise he didn't even pay me to say that!
They fix stuff for us, like deflated tires and broken hearts; they buy stuff for us, like hot pastrami sandwiches; and they teach us stuff, like by whooping our ass at Jeopardy or by offering us dudely words of wisdom. In short: dads are

Pop Tart Cookie Dough S’mores
I really envy all of you who are no longer in this cruel, harsh world of dating.
If I had to compare the dating to world to something, it would probably be District 12 in the Hunger Games. Vastly insipid & just downright terrible.
So a few days ago, I posted on my personal Facebook, recruiting friends to tell me the romantic stories of how they met their

Copycat Chocolate & Vanilla Wendy’s Frosties
Friends, it's time you answered the age-old question for me. Do YOU dip your fries in Frosties?
Personally, I find it to be a requirement every time I visit Wendy's. Nothing beats that sweet and salty combination of crispy, salted French fries dipped into that smooth, chocolate-y, cold Frosty. Anytime sweet and salty is involved together, I'm game, and this happens to be

Nutella-Filled Monster Cookie Bars
Were you ever scared of monsters under your bed or hiding in your closet?
I was, but I was weirdly scared more of human monsters lurking around. I was, and always have been paranoid about someone trying to kill me for some reason. Maybe it was all of the Forensic Files I was exposed to as a child.
It was as if the second I heard Peter Thomas' iconic voice, I knew some

No-Bake Muddy Buddy Cookies
When I say the term "hot-button issues", what do you think of? Maybe, war on terrorism? Gun control? Legalizing certain drugs?
But do you ever think of "spectacles: on or off"? Because apparently it's the latest controversial topic to sweep my OkCupid inbox.
You see, on OkCupid I have a couple profile pictures. Of the 5, 4 of them are of me WITH my glasses on (since

3-Ingredient Nutella Croissants
I don't know about you, but croissants are one of those breakfast items that I usually skip over. I like them, but if given the choice between a flaky croissant or a chewy donut, I'm choosing the donut -- hands down.
But that doesn't mean I don't have my croissant-eating moments. I surely do.
Usually I like them as a bread for a simple sandwich like a BLT.. nothing

Easy Vanilla Cake Donuts
I am a donut fiend.
Maple bars, old fashioned, cream-filled, sprinkle cake.. I love them all so very much. I am an equal-opportunist donut eater & lover.
Usually, I'm not much a fan of making donuts at home. Why? Because it either takes too much work OR I find that they don't taste the same as the ones at the bakery, even if I do fry them. Why donuts have to be so

Lemon Pistachio Pound Cake
Lemon is one of those dessert flavors I can't get enough of.
Lemon cake, lemon ice cream, lemon bars... the list goes on.
And tons of flavors pair beautifully with lemon as well. Coconut, white chocolate, dark chocolate, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, lime, almond, pistachios...
I really love pairing lemon with another flavor because the two

The Best One-Hour Cinnamon Rolls
Making homemade cinnamon rolls used to frighten me, almost in the same way that singing karaoke and being around children does. I wished I could be some pro, but really, the idea of it gave me the heebie jeebies.
But then one day I realized I couldn't let fear overcome my life. I longed for a life where I could wake up on a sunny Saturday morning, sneak into the kitchen

Fudgy Peanut Butter Cookie Brookies
Is there something most other women can do that you absolutely can't?
For me, it's doing anything hairstyle-related.
I can tell you how to dye your hair, how to get the most vibrant color for your buck, what dyes to use, and so forth. I've bleached my hair more times than I can remember and I have as many dye-stained clothes and towels as a salon does. But when it comes
