Coffee-infused carrots

Don't be so quick to judge a recipe by its title! Read the whole recipe and then decide... after you put the food in your mouth!

It's OK, I'm with the owner

It's my last night in San Francisco. I told my friends at the tourism board that I wanted a relaxed, though casual, dinner as a send-off. They suggested John's Grill... and a meal with John. Um, OK. THE John from John's Grill? Let's do it!

I have to do WHAT to gain your respect?

A customer is a customer is a customer. That’s how I feel about customer service but I guess I’m still old-school.

He revealed a little too much at the gym that day

My partner's obnoxious laugh is embarrassing in public

I don't mind my partner's laugh when we're alone together. But when we're with friends or out in public it almost seems exaggerated and fake -- not to mention crazy loud. It's pretty embarrassing when we're around others. What should I do?

The sense of entitlement is unreal

I know that many youngsters are growing up with a sense of entitlement but, wow, I didn’t realize it was so bad.

A journey through humanity

Winnipeg is the homeland of our boss. It's also where our parent company is based. So, after four years of being a Buff Boy with a loose connection to the city, I decided it was time to visit.

Buff'ed brownie mocha trifle

Looking for the perfect dessert to impress your guests or simply elevate your weeknight treat? I got you! My brownie mocha trifle is a layered masterpiece that combines the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies with the invigorating aroma and flavor of coffee, all tied together with a luscious creamy filling. And to take this trifle to the next level, we're incorporating a key ingredient: our famous Buff Boy Loca Mocha coffee. Duh!

If you say you haven't done this, you're lying

The trend nowadays is that everything is offensive and everyone should be offended by everything. But for those of us who don’t have a stick up our… well, I’ll get to the point.

I'm grossed out that my partner wears thrift store clothes

I like dressing up and looking good but my partner recently changed his style and is shopping at thrift stores. I think it's gross and not on my level anymore. I've mocked his wardrobe but he takes it as a joke but I'm actually serious. It's to the point if he's wearing used clothes I don't want to be seen with him. Is it a me problem or a him problem?

Oh, the places this brings relief

It's the little gun that could. Again. And again. And again.

He's definitely never babysitting again after this

In the world of babysitting, there are heroes and there are, well, Tanners.

Obviously fake hair and lashes make you look ridiculous

There are certain fashion and beauty trends that leave me scratching my head so vigorously, I’m worried I’ll give myself whiplash. And at the top of that list, vying for the coveted "Most Perplexing" award, are certain iterations of fake hair and… well, let’s call them "statement" eyelashes. My brain genuinely just doesn't compute. It's not judgment (yes, it is), it’s pure, unadulterated, polite bewilderment. And judgment. Not gonna lie.

Un-bear-able weather but an amazing zoo

Before we dive into my visit to the Winnipeg zoo, let me say the weather was horrible the entire time I was in the city, save for a few hours when I was downtown. Otherwise, absolutely horrible. And the bad thing about this travel content is our schedule is locked in so if it's something outdoors and the weather is terrible, there's little wiggle room to move things around at the last minute. That's why booking excursions in Winnipeg for a brief two-day visit was tough -- because it rained most of the time.

Does society really care about travel to the moon?

If you turned on the television or scrolled through your news feed recently, you might have felt a sudden sense of déjà vu—or perhaps just a profound sense of confusion. We are being told, over and over again, that we are in the midst of a new "Space Age." The Artemis mission is the headline, the talking point, and apparently, the media event of the century.

My partner keeps getting tattoos and piercings... and I hate it

When my relationship started, my partner had one piercing and one tattoo. Over the years he's gotten more and more of each. Now he's got so many that it's becoming gross. How do I get him to stop?

Pulling your Buff'ed pork

Ready to pork? Eat some meat! This pulled pork barbecue recipe is a low-and-slow cook. It's mostly hands off in a slow cooker so you can enjoy the smell as it makes you hungrier and hungrier. I recommend this one with some barbecue sauce and a bottle of beer!

This is what your work desk tells me about you

I've never grasped the appeal of putting pictures of loved ones on your desk at work. And I mean, never. Even before the days of smartphones, when you really did go most of the day – gasp – without seeing them. It always struck me as… odd.

It's HOW MUCH for the perfect coffee temperature??

You think coffee is getting expensive? Look up the Ember Mug 2 online. That's not a tariff price!

Mummies, colons and more (What else do you need??)

As a traveler and a lover of all things science, I was thrilled to visit the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix. This interactive museum is a must-see for anyone visiting the area and I was eager to explore its many exhibits and offerings -- including the giant colon.

My partner insists on broadcasting our vacation... no thanks!

My partner and I just got back from our first vacation together. I was excited about us getting away and spending time alone. The problem is that he insisted on broadcasting everything on social media. From the airport to the airplane to the hotel to each plate of food to every activity on the trip, he seemed more focused on capturing the content for an audience rather than living in the moment with me. It was annoying and I felt disrespected. How do I put my foot down so it doesn't happen again? Because at this point I don't want to travel with him anymore.

I always hope obnoxious game-show contestants lose

I love a good game show. There's something undeniably thrilling about watching ordinary people test their knowledge or luck against incredible odds for life-changing money. But lately, I find myself genuinely annoyed by one particular element: the contestants themselves.

Buff'ed paprika salt seasoning

I already feel you rolling your eyes at this one. Hey, by now you've figured out my recipes are totally unconventional -- and that's what makes them fun!
