Blogmas Day 2: My feelings on Stuffing: The one thing in life I'm not High Maintenance About

So I'm going to say something that will be heartbreaking to most chefs... and I'm sorry about that... but the truth is, there is one brand of stuffing that has my heart... and that is Stovetop!

Stovetop stuffing is my favorite. Its one of my favorite things about the holidays, I love it with gravy. This is not sponsored, I've just realized that I could try 1 million amazing stuffings and I would choose stovetop over everything! It just tastes the best to me. 

Something else AI've noticed... I don't think I like Stovetop that much if my mom doesn't make it. You know how sometimes different people can make something simple the same way but it will taste better when they make it? That's how I feel about my moms Stovetop Stuffing. Its light and fluffy but still has that amazing stuffing flavor. And then put some gravy on it and it is completely amazing! On a Thanksgiving Sandwich? YUM! Its just really good. 

And its a little weird because if you ask me what my favorite Thanksgiving food is I'll probably say stuffing... but if you try to tell me "ohh I make the best stuffing you have to try it" chances are, I won't because I won't like it nearly as much as Stovetop. 

I should say that I have had other stuffings in my life. My parents used to get pork chops with apple stuffing and I liked that a lot. I've had it on Thanksgiving sandwiches, and I've probably had it from Boston Market or something... so it isn't really the only type of stuffing I like... but I know that I'll always want to try different interesting stuffings and I know I'm not going to like them at all. I always want to try cornbread or chestnut stuffings because I love cornbread and I like Chestnut flavors of most things... but nope. Stovetop. 

This is not sponsored by Stovetop. If Stovetop sees this and wants to send me some stuffing... send it to a food bank or something instead. I know they really need it. 

So yeah! Hope you enjoy my little thing on Stuffing. I eat it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I also should point out that last year when my mom was making it the day before Thanksgiving, she also made chicken stir fry for our dinner and it smelled AMAZING together and I totally want to try that this year. Lol. (writing this before thanksgiving.) 

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
