What’s up, everybody? Reader here, and as I mentioned the other day, I spent the Family Day long weekend at the farm with some of my family – my Mom and Dad, and my cousin Kala. And one great thing about a trip home, is that I often come home with a nice little care […]

Reader here, and I have to admit, I’m getting excited. Super Bowl 59 is coming up on Sunday, and I’m looking forward to the big game. I plan to crush some wings, eat some pizza, and hold down the couch as the NFL’s best go at in in New Orleans. It should be a great […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here. It’s been a minute, as I spent the past week covering the agriculture beat, but I’m back on Cruz duty. No matter what I’m busy at, though, one thing never stops. I always have time for snacks! I admit, I have a major sweet tooth when it comes to chocolate. In […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and now that the calendar has flipped over to December, it’s really starting to feel like Christmas time is truly here. We had our staff Christmas party on Saturday night, and even though it was the last day of November, and December technically arrived during the revelry, I just have a […]

Reader here, and today was maybe the first day this year that truly felt like Fall. It was cloudy and gloomy, rainy and cold. Just not the nicest day to be outside. One of those days when you just want to stay inside, curled up underneath a blanket, and stay cozy and warm. When I […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and tonight, I’m talking leftovers. On Monday, I decided to fire up the slow cooker, and make a batch of something I haven’t had for a while – pulled pork! I have some of the prepackaged pulled pork seasoning mixes in the cupboard, but instead of going that route, I decided […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here. I was doing a little bit of meal prep yesterday, as it’s a short week, before I go on vacation for a couple of weeks, and I don’t feel like thinking too much on what to eat for the next few days. But, what to make? Then, it dawned on me […]

What’s up, everybody? Reader here, and as we head into the weekend, we’re getting back into hotter temperatures, and with that, comes a desire to beat the heat with a tasty treat. What could be better than ice cream? (Well, I guess maybe not for those who are lactose-intolerant, but I know there are dairy-free […]

Brain: 0, Stomach: 1

Ever have those moments where your brain says one thing, but your stomach says another? So there I was at the store, all set to buy some hair product, and then I came across a bag of Goldfish crackers on sale. My brain was telling me, “You don’t need any snacks,” but my stomach was […]

Reader here! As you all know, I’m a man driven to fill my stomach whenever possible. I love to eat, and I’m usually game to try anything. A few weeks ago, I was strolling down the frozen food aisle in one of our local supermarkets, when something caught my eye, and I was instantly intrigued. […]
