I’m trying out something new here at Foodiocentric. It’s a humorous little story just for the sake of hilarity. No recipe, just fun for you (and humiliation for me). Hopefully it makes you feel a little better about your lack of kitchen prowess or gives you a good laugh. Here it goes: Since the Taste […]

Shamrock Pancakes
In honor of National Pancake Day, I am posting two pancake recipes in a row! Remember last week, when I told you about my Confetti Cake Pancakes that totally started out healthy but then morphed? Well, these pancakes totally make up for last weekend’s unhealthy pancakes and they are equally yummy! The greenish hue comes not from […]
Confetti Cake Pancakes (with Protein)
These were supposed to be healthy, I swear. The taste tester sent me a link for pancake recipes and this one caught my eye. So pretty and colorful, plus not totally unhealthy, they looked perfect. BUT. Buuutttt, I didn’t have Cor-fetti protein powder. And I started to get afraid that without that flavor of protein […]
Cranberry Upside Down Polenta Cake
This cake is so pretty, I think it speaks for itself. Which is good, because I just don’t have that much to say about it. Not because it’s not delicious-it is and unique-it’s also that, but it’s so many perfect things that I am just at a loss for words. And, it’s easy. It’s looks […]
Classic Gingerbread Cookies
Prior to last Christmas, I have never been a fan of gingerbread cookies. I recall one year when, at my request, my mom agreed to let me try my hand at them, even though she was confident I would not enjoy eating them (she was right!). After that one year, I can’t remember ever trying gingerbread again. […]
Really Easy Pie Crust
All my life, I have never understood the fuss over pie crust. I have heard people complain that it’s difficult to make or finicky, but this was not something I had ever experienced. Recipes that required pages of instructions and multiple refrigerations and par-baking-what did that even mean? And store-bought pie crust? To this day, […]
Red, White, & Blue Cheesecake Popsicles (without food dyes!)
This week, General Mills announced that it will be removing all artificial flavors and colors from its cereals. To me, this is a big step in the right direction by a major food producer, but I am wondering what Trix is going to look like without artificial colors. Whether or not you believe artificial colors […]
Key Lime Pie
For some people, the biggest social nightmare imaginable is showing up at an event wearing the same outfit as someone else. Granted, these people are women, because most men at any event tend to be wearing some variation of the same outfit anyway. This has never really been an issue or fear for me, probably […]
White Bean Feta Dip
I’m not sure if you all realize this, but Memorial Day is this weekend! That means summer is like four days away. You might not be aware of this if you, like me, live in the frozen tundra Michigan where for some reason it was 30 degrees last night. Yesterday the high was 50. Fifty degrees feels […]
Cadbury Egg Monster Cookies
This weekend I set out to make the prettiest, most perfect, most deliciously moist and colorful Easter dessert. Unfortunately that is not the topic of this post. The “perfect” dessert was great in theory, a lemon, jello poke cake (inspired by this recipe) with beautiful pink frosting. It was going to be made from scratch with no […]
