Like Teddy said, two hearts belong together.  And if they're the peanut-butter-chocolate variety, they belong in your mouth - even if you're trying to lose weight. 

Mmmmmm.  Meatballs.  They should really be their own food group.  The standard parmesan and parsley variety is always a crowd pleaser, but why not try an Asian spin on the red-sauce standby?  Utilizing a milder ground meat, garlic, ginger, scallion, and sesame, these are a great way to savor the flavor of Chinese take-out, minus the excessive sodium.

I love a good three-ingredient recipe.  But sometimes the end result of these triads is a waste of their individual parts.  Case in point: the cottage cheese pancake.  This gussied-up, protein-packed version tastes like a weekend treat and hits the table in minutes thanks to the blender.

“I couldn’t live without peanut butter.  It’s such a huge source of protein for me.”   The comment was heard years ago, yet it makes me cringe to this day. 

What’s the best part of crème brulee?  I would argue that it’s the caramelized topping.  The sound your spoon makes as it breaks that glass-like sugary goodness is pure joy.   The custard itself is really secondary.  

Are you watching Making a Murderer?  If you want to feel uncontrollable anger toward the Wisconsin Department of Justice and residual exhaustion from the unavoidable lack of sleep, dive right in to this epic Netflix series.
