Yumbots!


If there's one thing I love more than cupcakes, it's adorable cupcake molds. Thanks to Yumbots, we no longer have to worry about plain, old, boring cupcake molds! Now the only bad thing about these is that it only makes 4 cupcakes, unless you decide to buy more than one set. So good idea if you have a nerdy boyfriend at home much like my own or kids who enjoy robots. Not so much a good idea if you're having a big get together or the class requires your kid to make 27 cupcakes.

The website World Wide Fred also has lots of nifty nerdy cooking trinkets that should definitely be checked out! Everything on the website is kid friendly and it appeals to everyone's kid at heart!

If you're from the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Deleware) make a trip to the Franklin Institute. They have tons of Fred stuff! Even these cupcake holders. :D

Introduction!

So the name is a little repetitive. I'm sure after having this blog up for a month or two, I'll figure out this amazing name and become some famous blogger who takes the world by storm by makings them eat tons of food, forcing me to make millions off of a random book I'll end up writing, which is translated into 300+ languages and turned into a worldwide phenomena.

But in all seriousness, my name is Brittany. I live in Orlando with my boyfriend Greg, my cat Leo, and his bird Lucretia. Greg loves frozen food, hot pockets, Pad Thai, and whatever junk food he can generally land his hands on. Myself, I love Big Red soda, pasta, and stuffed crust cheese pizza from Pizza Hut. When we're not being fat though, we generally like to be adventurous. My boyfriend makes an amazing balsamic marinated lamb with smashed potatoes, as well as a fantastic chicken casserole (I'll put recipes up for these once we have them mastered and remember to write down what we use). Myself, I'm more of a baker. I attempt broccoli casseroles, potato chip cookies, and sausage gravy. While Gregory usually attempts fancier dishes, I try to go for the more "Down Home Southern Cooking."

So far, we've only managed to catch the kitchen on fire once, which was my fault, sort of. Apparently grease manage to collect and when the stove heated up it caught fire. Luckily Greg rescued the damsel in distress and saved the range as well as the Brittany.

So, to close this up, keep on the look out for fun, cool, and exciting recipes as well as interesting cooking utensils, and maybe some other things thrown in. :)
