I love paella. Correction: I love this paella. Until recently, paella was intimidating to me because of three things: It typically has seafood in it (ew!). I was under the impression it took forever to make. It typically has white rice in it. So mostly I avoided it until I stumbled upon this gem in

Chickie’s and Pete’s Cheese Fries
So if you’ve ever been to Philly, you probably have heard about Chickie’s and Pete’s. It’s a famous sports bar chain whose original location is actually in my neighborhood.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
If you’ve ever done any kind of shopping for Valentine’s day, then surely you’ve come across how much chocolate covered strawberries cost. Seriously though, like $5 a berry? It’s kind of ridic. I’m in the wrong business. Making chocolate covered strawberries at home is SO EASY. There is really no need to buy them as
Eggs on Toast
This is one of those recipes that is so easy, you will wonder how you did without it all your life. Or maybe I’m just late to the game and people have been eating this forever and I’m the one who did without it all my life. I was never really an egg person growing
