I unabashedly love Valentine's Day with the passion of a thousand first kisses. Is there a better way to tell someone you love them than through food? I do not know of any better way, friends. So why not make a batch of these sugar cookies, decorate them all fancy pants and give them to your crush/partner/best friend/best dog/best stranger? Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:28:48 GMT Home 3883 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/nomtastic-fried-rice.html I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not one for leftovers. They honestly freak me out. Sometimes, though, there is a recipe that requires leftovers. Fried rice is one of those recipes.  I’d made fried rice in the past using freshly made rice and it just gums up and gets nasty.  With some simple planning, fried rice is now one of my favorite meals of the week. Jenessa Hooper Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:00:33 GMT Home 3875 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-banana-blueberry-muffins.html Muffins make me so happy. With a muffin, you get to walk around like you've got your life together. You're one of those healthy people that maybe bikes to work and always has extra safety pins in her bag in case a hem goes rogue. You whip out that muffin from your immaculately organized bag to fuel you through your morning meeting where you'll use your very large brain to impress many people. You're very important.

This week, they launched their first-ever iPad app in Britain, with a foodie twist.

That desire to eat something different, something that you’ve never done before but you’re willing to try to make.  One night when my mom was bored with plain old broiled/grilled chicken she decided to make her own teriyaki marinade. It was a hit and we’ve been making it ever since.

They're great on salads and ice cream. But be warned, after they've cooled, put them away or else you'll keep grabbing handfuls off the counter.Ingredients1 teaspoon canola oil1 cup raw almonds2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:25:00 GMT Home 3863 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/nomtastic-chicken-fajitas.html I love Mexican food.  I’ve already told you all about my love affair with tacos, but there is a food that I love even more than Tacos.  Fajitas.Fajitas, pronounced Fa-hee-tas for those who aren’t familiar; is a dish featuring steak or chicken mixed with sautéed onions, bell peppers and spices.  Traditionally, Spanish rice and refried beans are served on the side along with tortillas of your choice.

And I've picked an interesting time of year to choose swimming as a pastime. So I come home what seems like twelve hours after sundown, hair half wet, entire body shivering, about to pass out from exhaustion and body-is-icicle disease. I can barely think let alone cook, so what better than a big vat of chilli (made over the weekend) to thaw me from the inside out?  Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:00:00 GMT Home 3850 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/nomtastic-baked-apple-cinnamon-oatmeal.html Breakfast is the most important meal so I’ve been told, but I’ve never really been a fan of it. I enjoy breakfast foods and on Sundays I love brunch, but eating first thing in the morning just doesn’t work well for me.  I was always a cup of coffee and out the door kind of lady. I’ve been informed that this isn’t the healthiest route to take and that I’m actually slowing down my metabolism by doing this. That’s a huge bummer because a slow metabolism doesn’t help one be their healthiest. Jenessa Hooper Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:33:00 GMT Home 3843 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-delicious-cornbread.html I love cornbread! But I don't ever think to make it, which is a total shame because there's so much to love! First of all it's so versatile. You can make it sweet or savory and pair it with a ton of dishes. Secondly it's so portable. Just wrap up a chunk in a napkin and you've got the perfect snack for your commute or the 3 o'clock tummy grumbles. Thirdly, it's so pretty! All yellow and golden, I like to call it the sunshine snack. Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:22:00 GMT Home 3841 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/nomtastic-simple-veg-stir-fry.html For the New Year I hopped on the bandwagon and made a resolution. It’s simple and completely attainable. For 2012 I simply want to be the healthiest me I can be. This simple plan involves me eating more veggies and getting off the couch and exercising. See? Simple.Enter my go-to meal for heaps of veg; Stir-fry. You can put whatever you want in and almost certainly get a healthy feast out.  It involves a bit of prep work, but once the cooking begins you’re done before you know it.

So, there's nothing better than tucking into a big bowl of rice pudding to eat my feelings away...

Nothing says “It’s a Celebration, Bitches!” quite like a bit of bubbly.  Champagne is my favorite potent potable next to vodka. It makes every activity a party. In college I once drank champagne before moving and it can really turn ANYTHING into a party. Jenessa Hooper Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:13:00 GMT Home 3822 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/bacon-and-maple-syrup-muffins.html With the culinary excesses of Christmas day over, conventional wisdom dictates that it is prudent to spend the days after eating “light” dishes. Zingy Thai salads, wholesome turkey broths, lettuce, grapefruit......you get the idea. Yawn.Conventional wisdom sucks. Once the flood gates of festive overindulgence have been opened, it is folly to close them until after New Year’s Day. Jen Evans Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:57:32 GMT Home 3819 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/nomtastic-yuletide-tree-biscuits.html Holidays always make me think of cookies. No matter what holiday it is, there is a cookie cutter and recipe to go with it. My favorite cookies to decorate for any holiday are sugar cookies. While looking through my copy of the Treasury of Home Baking I came across a recipe for some “Yule Tide Namesakes”. It turned out yuletide namesakes were crumbly butter cookies that the author had turned into p...

This is where I tell you what my perfect Christmas would look like food-wise. Let's start with breakfast shall we? These waffles are pretty amazing, and waffles are indeed my favorite food.

Last week during the gingerbread house candy acquisition I bought a box of story book lifesavers; the very same story book that came in my Christmas stocking as child. However, as an adult it only contains 6 rolls of lifesavers instead of 8 and the flavor they eliminated to cut corners costs is my be... Jenessa Hooper Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:18:00 GMT Home 3799 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/winter-cosies-for-the-home.html To me, winter has always meant hibernation. Spring and summer is the time to be social - festivals, picnics in the park, barbeques every weekend. Frolicking without a care in the world. As soon as the temperatures drop below zero, I tend to retreat into my flat and don’t really want to come out until March.  Jennifer Trak Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:00:00 GMT Home 3798
