Beer and Pretzel Cookies

Beer and Pretzel Cookies | Adventures of a Hungry Redhead
You know the saying “the greatest thing since sliced bread”? I proposed that be changed to “the greatest thing since beer and pretzel cookies.”

Obviously I like everything I blog about. I wouldn’t share a recipe with you if I didn’t think it was awesome – that’s in my Hungry Redhead code of ethics – and believe you me, I’ve made many a cookie and bar since starting this blog that looked oh so wonderful on Pinterest only to become a disaster out of the oven. Even if it looks pretty, but tastes blah, I’m not posting it.

Now that we have that out of the way, I hope you can understand how serious I am when I say these cookies are life changing. These cookies are mind blowing. These cookies are everything that is good about cookies. Continue reading →

Mexican Chicken and Cauliflower Rice

Mexican Chicken and Cauliflower Rice | Adventures of a Hungry Redhead
Remember that time when I was Paleo for three weeks? Yeah, that didn’t turn out well; it’s not a lifestyle I can commit to. And you’re all thinking ‘duh, you bake cookies every other day!’ Yeah, well, …. um… shut up! I’m glad I tried it though, because I learned a lot of cool stuff about food and cooking, like, cauliflower can be made into ANYTHING!

I knew it made for good soup already. And remember those Cauliflower Wraps? Well now, I bring you… Cauliflower Rice!

Is there anything this beige Brassicaceae can’t do? Continue reading →

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies | Adventures of a Hungry Redhead
I know I just posted Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl cookies to the blog last week… and P’Nutty Slutty Brownies the week before that.. and Peanut Butter Cup S’more Bars before that, but is it too soon to post another peanut butter and chocolate recipe? Am I becoming a two-bit chocolate peanut butter pony?

I stumbled across this recipe looking for a new chocolate chip cookie recipe and, hello, when you look at the photo how can you NOT Pin It and bake them? Lucky for me (and now you) these are as good as they looked, which can often be a rare occurrence where Pinning is concerned. Continue reading →

Fired Up Friday May 31

31 May
Voice Inside Your Head

Swiped from Pinterest

So I had this great idea that I could run half marathons through the summer if I ran them in the Midwest, where the weather would be perfect. What I didn’t think through was that I’d still have to train, in Atlanta, through the summer. Thankfully, it hasn’t been to ridiculously hot yet, but still, if you’re going to get a long run in, it’s best to do it right when the sun rises, which is not my prime time to function. In fact, I’ve had trouble completing any runs recently without stopping to walk for a bit. It sucks. It’s frustrating. But, it does make it feel slightly sweeter when I finish – like I struggled and pushed for it.

Half marathon #2 in a week…

I recently saw the Great Gatsby. I think I over-hyped it in my head because I left it underwhelmed. The soundtrack, however, was as awesome as any Baz Luhrman film. Currently, this little Fergie number from the film is rocking my iPod.

Chicken Cordon Vert

Chicken Cordon Vert | Adventures of a Hungry Redhead
It’s a well known fact that bacon makes everything better. It’s even more well known that cheese makes everything better. Thus, if redhead math serves me correctly, putting bacon and cheese inside chicken makes it the best chicken ever.

Did you hear that? I think I heard your cardiologist whimpering. He’s upset that I took a perfectly good lean protein like chicken and dirtied it up with greasy bacon and fatty cheese. Alright doc, point well taken. I’m going to shove some spinach in there. Boom. Fighting free radicals. Continue reading →

Mini Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl Cookies

Mini Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl Cookies | Adventures of a Hungry Redhead
Hello there summer. You snuck up on me.

Summer is the time for barbecues and picnics, and because you read this blog, you’re most likely one of those people that get asked to bring things to these barbecues and picnics. Things like pasta salad, vegetable trays or chips, but then you say ‘sorry host, I’m bringing cookies instead.’ It’s the weirdest thing, no one ever gets mad. Continue reading →

Fired Up Friday May 24

24 May

Skinny Girls Fit Girls
This Fired Up Friday is a SHAM! You can’t run to this song. You can’t lift to this song. You can’t bike to this song. All you can do is dance. Naked.

Seriously, if this song came on my iPod while I was running, I would trip and fall on my face because I would try to dance and run at the same time. When I’m in my car, when I’m at my desk, when I’m baking cookies and this song comes on I start dancing like a fool. God help us all if this song were to come on over the speakers at the grocery store or the gym.

You know what this song is good for? Taking a shower and getting ready in the morning. How can you not feel like a sexy badass when you’re putting your summer dress and sandals on and curling your lashes with Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I. playing?

Hmmm, so maybe it’s not really a sham because it still gets you fired up and ready to take on the day?

I’m glad this forced me to look up the video for this song because it is hilarious. The concept appeared to be: take half-naked models, place in room with R&B artists, add random props, let hilarity ensue. If you think it’s sexist or gross you need to settle down and realize they’re making fun of themselves. It’s called parody. I learned about it in sophomore English class.
