Fast forward a few years, and have you seen what they put in that stuff (Parmesan Crusted flavor linked)?! Ew. Luckily, I reduced the number of ingredients from a whopping 28 to 6 clean ingredients just by using stuff I already had in my kitchen. […]

Am I the only one who’s ever made a recipe, and you know while you’re doing it that you’re doing it wrong? That was this recipe for me… Though I’m not calling it a “recipe blooper” per se, just a case of chef error. As […]

In efforts to diversify the recipes on Oinkcooking, I begged for ideas from my friends on what to include. There were quite a few requests for desserts. I am not a baker (I think I have mentioned that before). Baking and I don’t tend to […]

It’s Christmas time. I have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. And by sugar plums, I usually mean these Pecan Pie Brownies. During testing, I tried three different methods to adhere the pecan filling to the brownies’ top. The best by far is […]
