You HAD to know this was coming.
Since my creation of the original, and the party version, and the peanut buttah lovah version, I had to do a red velvet one for all you velvet people out there.
Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, y'all.
Having just returned from Texas, I am feeling all kinds of Southern in my blood. I'm craving fried chicken more than a

Candy Bar Poke Cake
Remember when you were a kid and you could eat anything your little heart desired and you didn't gain an ounce? The summertime meant eating nothing but hot dogs, Happy Meals and milkshakes. And candy, when you could bribe your grandma to pretty please let you walk up with a friend to the grocery store to buy something sweet.
However, those were also the days that

So this week I leave for Austin, Texas for my first blogging conference!
I am SOSOSOSO excited to go! I've heard numerous wonderful things about Austin as a city, its culture and restaurants and all that jazz. Plus, I get to meet my bloggy friends for the first time (!!) and we get to start some trouble together :)
However, there are certain things about trips

Creme Brulee Crunch Donuts
Oh mahhhh gosh.
These donuts are CRAAAAAZY good, y'all.
Despite the fact that I have never had creme brulee, I can somehow attest that these donuts totally freaking RULE. And I've only never had creme brulee because I have this weird thing with custard (as in, I'm irrationally afraid of it) and also because one time a weird relative ordered it and ate it kind

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Do you have a neighbor who stares at you from across the street constantly, waits until you leave your car to approach you and shouts at you or your dog every chance he gets? Does he have weird, googly blue eyes, wear neon polo shirts and have an equally-odd son? Then your neighborhood is probably plagued with Creepy Dad.
Creepy Dad can strike at anytime,

I have breaking news: there is a pajama epidemic.
Some of you may know I'm headed to Austin next month for a blogging conference with some of my best bloggy friends. While there, a friend of mine is throwing a fun little pajama party in her hotel room, so obviously, I am required to wear pajamas. And what I normally wear -- ratty, dye-stained shirts and too-small workout

So I started working out again.
Let me rephrase: I am starting to work out again. More like TRYING. Or thinking about working out, but just eating a bag of pretzel M&M's instead.
Chewing burns calories, right? And for as much as I THINK about exercising, it should burn SOME calories.
Anyways, this recent spurt in exercising came about when I decided to

Chubby Hubby Magic Bars [Ben & Jerry’s Week!!]
Okay. Chubby Hubby time.
I don't mean to insult hubbies around the world or anything, but honestly, chubby hubbies are the best kind.
I mean, they don't give you unconditional love and affection, or help fork over rent money, or change dirty diapers or give you diamonds, but they DO make your tastebuds awfully happy. And kinda give your belly this like, really

Late Night Snack Popcorn [Ben & Jerry’s Week!]
I have a small confession to make.
The girl I kinda sorta Instagram-stalk just broke up with her boyfriend and I'm like, kind of upset about it.
...which is silly since I don't even knoooow her. Or him. Or anything about their lives except their names, that they were once in love (a love documented by pictures taken with the romantic glow of

Coffee Caramel Buzz Donuts [Ben & Jerry’s Week!]
I have a bone to pick with adults.
I know I'm an adult, but seeing as I consider buying heels with American flags on them as a crucial investment, I'm not the most adult-y adult in the world. I'm talking about those tried-and-true adults. You have a house, a car, probably a family, a 401K, and are in the over-40 bracket. YOU guys.
So first of all, you guys are great.
