Upgrade Your Comfort Beverages: Making Iced Coffee That Doesn’t Suck

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a Home Economics lesson, and because the weather around San Francisco has been “hella nice” as they say (no one says that), I find myself switching from oppressive, scalding hot coffee to it’s kinder, gentler iced coffee cousin. Blue Bottle is great and they

Upgrade Your Comfort Foods: Bougie Cupcakes

I don’t know why, but something about cupcakes makes them taste good like Daddy’s money.  Personally, when I eat a cupcake, the Marie Antoinette soundtrack cues in my head and I pretend like Sofia Coppola and I are in Versailles, holding flutes of champagne and wearing Alexander McQueen dresses made

Upgrade Your Comfort Foods: Drinking at Breakfast (Again.)

We’ve talked before about brunch, but since the weekend is coming up and you’ll (hopefully) be sharing some pre-noon cocktails with that special someone this weekend, I thought I’d focus today on those alcoholic beverages which are deemed acceptable breakfast-fare by the general population.

Upgrade Your Comfort Foods: Cereal is for Stoners

I’ve probably had more bowls of cereal in my life than any other meal. (If you consider it a meal, even.) But this isn’t because my mom didn’t love me enough to get me toaster strudel when I was a kid. Actually, I think I really tipped the scale around

Upgrade Your Comfort Foods: Spice Up Your Ramen

I’ll be the first to admit it: the super-cheap, bottom-shelf ramen noodles are pretty much the most broke food at your local grocery store. At least at my usual place I can still get the noodle + MSG packet for the low price of $0.10 or 10 for $1. But

Upgrade Your Comfort Foods Part 3: Gourmet Mac and Cheese

Mac & Cheese will forever be a Broke-Ass staple food. Unlike the Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, you can kind of pretend a big bowl of mac & cheese is a real, grownup dinner instead of a lunch item all the other kids at your lunch table would make fun
