Well, this is a first– this was my contribution to an awesome idea from two friends from undergrad, and we got it on video!

This will hopefully be…

Survey Time
I have a question for you… actually a few. I’m coming up with some new ideas for the blog, and I need your help! Still there? Good. Now here’s the fun part– if you follow @craving_mad on Instagram (and you should!) you already got a sneak peek. I’m coming up with some new ideas for…
Chicken & Grits à la Carbonara
How are you guys doing? Really. Things have changed a lot in ten days here in Atlanta, but for some all of this has been going on for months. I hope everyone out there is healthy, and in a good mood– and I think I can help with that last part. The stores around here…
“Pro Amateur” Challenge
I’m a professional amateur, you’re a professional amateur…we’re all professional amateurs. For this challenge, YOU get to do the cooking.

Seared Tuna Tostada: The Missing Ingredients Challenge
It’s moments like these that show you who your real friends are, and guys, I have some questions… I decided to do another challenge to shake things up after the first 100 posts. A few of you posted ingredients that I couldn’t use for the next post, and I randomly selected 3. This time, I’d have…

Salami & Summer Squash Crostini (Chopped Challenge)
What do you get when you mix three random ingredients (squash, strawberry jam, and garlic), forty minutes, and an imaginary panel of expert judges? The first ever Craving Mad “Chopped” Challenge! Last week, people posted sets of three ingredients to @craving_mad on Instagram– ranging from Capn’ Crunch Cereal to Sweetbreads. To keep it fair, I…
The Craving Mad “Chopped” Challenge
I’m looking for a new challenge this week. Before I jumped on the streaming bandwagon, I almost exclusively turned on my TV for a few shows: The Walking Dead, anything by Anthony Bourdain, Game of Thrones, and…Chopped. It started to get popular right around the time that I started cooking for myself– perfect timing? In…
The Craving Mad 50 Giveaway
Time flies when you’re eating well. The 50th post will go live in one month, and I think that’s a milestone worth celebrating.
