OH HI. Alexa here coming to you from a very snowy, sloshy, slushy Pittsburgh.
And there’s one thing that can warm me up from the tip of my toes to the tip of my nose –– a Ginger Latte.
Have you ever had a Ginger Latte? I hadn’t until about two weeks ago when I had it at a local coffee shop, and it was exactly what my perpetually-shivering body needed to warm itself right up.
Read MoreHappy 2022!
These past few years have been… a lot. But I’m feeling hopeful for this new year.
I set some goals for myself (I do better with goals than with resolutions, which always seem so much more intense), and I’m really excited to pursue them.
Amongst the goals I set for myself, one was wanting to make an effort to try new dinner recipes this year. I get in dinner ruts a lot, and during those ruts, I tend to default to staples like rice, tofu/beans, and some sort of veggie.
It’s fast and filling, but after a week or two of the same thing over and over and over, it gets pretty boring.
So! In an effort to be more creative in the kitchen, I created THIS. And I don’t really know what to say about it other than it’s really really good.
Read MoreI love my birthday.
I know loving your own birthday is kinda one of those things that’s not very “adult”, but I do. So very much. I have off from work, I get to do what I want, I get to eat what I want, I get to spend time with my loved ones, and it’s always just a really good day.
It’s also an extra special day because… it’s also Fooduzzi’s birthday!
Yep. Seven (seven!!) years ago today, baby Alexa was pressing publish on her very first blog post and making her readers feel like they were truly immersed in a bowl of oatmeal with her lack of photography skills.
And each year since then on December 18, we celebrate in the best way I know how: with peanut butter and chocolate.
Read MoreAs soon as Thanksgiving is over, I am in full-blown Christmas mode.
To be quite honest with you, I’m in full-blown Christmas mode now. I’m just so incredibly excited for all the happy, warm, cozy vibes that the holiday season brings each year.
And there’s nothing more Christmas-y in my mind than the peppermint mocha.
Read MorePie makes me think of fall and family get-togethers and cozy clothing and warm, roasty dinners and the holidays and everything good about this time of year.
And if it’s a no-bake pie that comes together in literal minutes and chills in the fridge until you’re ready to dive on in?
The best. The very very best.
Read MoreFact: Mini food just tastes better.
Another fact: Fresh herbs plus vegan butter plus flour plus a few other ingredients makes really killer biscuits.
Read MoreHas this happened to you? You see someone eating a food, and then you simply cannot get it out of your head. So you make a special trip to the grocery store to get said food, and it’s just as wonderful as you’d hoped.
That happened to me last week: my co-worker (Katie!) jumped on a meeting with me, and she was munching on some peanut butter-stuffed pretzel nuggets.
I love peanut butter, and I love pretzels, so it should come as no surprise that I completely and totally adore peanut butter-stuffed pretzel nuggets. I used to eat them a lot as a kid, but I hadn’t had them in years.
Well, friends. I’m happily well on my way through my second bag in a week. A gloriously tasty week.

With a review like that, how can you not be excited about these?
