Berry berry
Ok so my last post was about a crazy meat creation we call the "Meatzurgler". Today I'm going to switch it up to one of my favorite desserts. At first I thought this was something I created but it was later pointed out to me that I was far from the first to come up with cheesecake stuffed strawberries. I don't remember how the idea for these came about but from the start I knew they would be a good idea. Basically I bake a cheesecake, hollow out some strawberries and stuff them. They are then dipped in chocolate and rolled in graham crumbs. Simple right? Delicious? Heck yes!!
Everyone I have had the chance to share these with has had nothing but positive feedback. They are fairly simple to make ( so long as you can carefully use a melon baller to hollow out the berries), tasty and easy to handle. I find cheesecake to be far too rich sometimes so this is a perfect bite sized alternative.

Welcome
Well I have been talking about starting a foodie blog for a while and since I have the day off today I figure why not start it now. Anyone who knows me knows I love my food. I'm in culinary school to take this hobby to the next level and make a living off of my love for being in the kitchen.
I think for this first post I'll introduce you to one of my favorite most off the wall creations. Though I did not come up with the idea for the "meatzurgler" it was still one of my favorite things to make. Basically it is a 5 pound beef burger with 2 pounds of weaved bacon on top wrapped in 2 large pepperoni pizzas. It was something for sure. Not a practical dish by any means but seriously, how could you not want to try a piece??
What a night that was. Most of this monstrosity was actually eaten. Next time (and there will be a next time) the beef needs more to it. It will definitely be more heavily seasoned and possibly have cheeses mixed in to add that extra burst of artery clogging goodness.
Be sure to check back often for more adventures of the culinary kind.
