Life is too short to not fill with joy. Joy and pancakes. And delicious mango coulis. We can’t forget that shit, either! My kid had a friend over for a sleepover. They woke up at 5am the morning after (or still the same night depending on how you look at the situation) and were…

To BBQ, or Not To BBQ. That’s the Question. The Answer is Always the Same: Fuck Yes!
In this mother of all heatwaves all you wanna do is eat ice-cream cones while half perched inside your freezer. But sometimes a person needs something more than just ice cream and fluids. This is one of those times. And this moment in time calls for hot coals and BBQ tongs. So today my half dead, shrivelled…
Spin The Bottle: Thug Kitchen Watermelon-Strawberry Tequila Punch
I’m about a thousand recipes from the finishing line of this challenge. But having cooked all the recipes from the first Thug Kitchen cookbook, I’ve moved on to the others.

Feast Your Fucking Face Off
Over the holidays we all like to eat right? Over the Easter break I wanted to make sure we had some good eats in the fridge…For you know…snacking. So I went a bit Thug Kitchen ballistic. We feasted for days. I also made these home-made chocolates because, well….snacking. And they’re way fucking healthier than store-bought crap,…
Confessions of a Snackoholic
I’m health kickin’ it right now. It’s all leafy green stuff, and quinoa, and buckwheat, and herbal teas. I even found some kelp powder in my cupboard that I considered using somehow. Maybe I’ll throw it in a smoothie. Maybe I’ll snort it. Who knows. (I didn’t even know what kelp was till yesterday.) I was snack…
Putting the Whore back in Whore-d’oeuvres
