Caramel Apple Fudge
I adore fudge. But I also hate to cook... and it is massively expensive to buy it pre-made. I just can’t justify using my weekly gas money to indulge my sugar needy palate for the few minutes it takes me to devour four pieces. Plus, there is that lingering guilty feeling about the calories involved and the fact that fudge is basically all sugar.

5 Weird Food Combos That Actually Work
Having been a food writer and restaurant critic for a few years now, I have come to realise that food is less about tasting good and more about defying expectations. It’s more about the dining experience, rather than just a good meal with delicious food. It’s not necessarily something I agree with.

My Churro Shop
It is rare that you find churros in the United States that aren’t homemade. Churros are also known as the cruller or the Spanish donut. Some restaurants do have churros, like Rubios or Costco. I’m talking about a full-service Spanish-Chilean cuisine sit down restaurant, lactose-free bakery, and a Spanish tapas place. I’m also inclined to offer caffeine free tapioca tea, you know, the Chinese kind with the tapioca balls in it. You have to know where to get churros for now. We’d also have sorbet of a few varieties for dessert. You'd have chocolate dipping sauce with the churros.

Walmart Sushi
It’s a Tuesday, also known as, Walmart day. In mid-October, Walmart is covered in candy and the notorious sushi. Seven sushi-filled packs line my cart. My friends chatter about how they think I have a problem. I always pretend to be oblivious to their comments.

Delicious Goulash
In Hungary, Gulyasleves is a dish which is prepared like a soup. A herdsman is a gulyas, and leves means soup. This soup is typically made with beef, vegetables, ground paprika, and other spices. It was a dish which was cooked by cattlemen tending their herds on the Great Hungarian Plain. They cooked it outdoors over an open fire in a portable cauldron which was called bogracs. Originally the dish was similar to a stew and was called bogracsgulyas. When Gulyasleves is served in a Hungarian restaurant it is a soup, but Hungarians in their homes cook the dish as a stew. The recipe has many variations and although the usual meat is beef, mixed meats may also be used such as pork and mutton/lamb. To this one can add tomatoes, carrots and fresh peppers (often hot chilies). Ingredients like onions, paprika, and caraway seeds bring out the flavor in this dish and cubed potatoes or pasta squares may be added.

Float On
The fun, Hawaiian pineapple-themed restaurant started out as an idea. The idea then became a reality when the company opened a food truck. Shave ice was the first creation, but K felt she wanted to expand and do more. She traveled to Hawaii to investigate the exotic flavors and items Hawaii has to offer. They went to every shave ice in Hawaii and picked the best flavors. When they arrived home from their trip, they knew they wanted to be better than the other companies around. They got the best machines that actually shaves the ice instead of pieces. This adaptation to the process enhances the taste of the shave ice.
