I Cooked Up Some Pepperoni and Cheese One-Pot Pasta

#OnePotPasta

“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Barilla®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #OnePotPasta http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV” Believe it or not, I can’t cook rice.

I Am So All-In on Applebee’s New Line of Burgers

#BurgerSelfie

Disclosure: I have partnered with Life of Dad and Applebee’s for this promotion. I have a friend name Mike. He was my first roommate after college. Now, besides being the hairiest person on the planet (that’s a post for another day), one thing about him has always stuck with me: Mike doesn’t like food in his food. In other words, he likes his food simple. Me? I’m the opposite. I’m mix and match just about anything under …
