Dark Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Frosting

 

Why is this a Foodgasm?

You got some dark chocolate cupcakes, but wait....is that Guinness, oh my! Then I topped it with caramel frosting, woah....but then I took it up another notch, just one more. I added sea salt! That is like bam, Bam, BAM! Yes I found a way to bring you dark chocolate, stout AND salted caramel! YES! Then I reduced the fat AND made it easy to make!!

Your welcome!

I came up with this idea at the supermarket, while getting the supplies I needed. I have had dark chocolate with salted caramel truffles, then I thought why not make this as a cupcake?! Not too weird or crazy! Plus I know I can do it with a cake mix- EASY too score!

Pineapple Mango Guacamole

Why is this a Foodgasm?

Confession: I am in love with a fruit. Mango be thy name! Beautiful, sweet, juicy and slightly citrusy mango.  My second favorite, fresh pineapple, put 'em together and what do you got? A foodgasm! I have been adding pineapple to my guacamole for a very long time, I figured if lime juice is essential, why not add other citrus flavors? This recent addition of the mango really made me fall in love. It's like having fruit salsa and guacamole together. It has that salty, creamy and sweet thing happening all at one. It like a flavor and texture Ménage à Trois.

Hell no, this is a Foodgasm and that is my promise!

Foodgasm One Night Stand: Chocolate Pretzel Chunk Cookies with Salted Caramel Drizzle



Why is this a Foodgasm? 

Well sorry this is definitely a holiday one night stand. I made these for Christmas, actually made them twice and tweaked the recipe. Putting pretzels in a chocolate chip cookie and then drizzling with caramel and covering in sea salt. It is a sweet and salty paradise! You bite in and get the buttery cookie taste, then the chocolate and omg there is a chunk of pretzel, but it's not done OMG there is salted caramel on this too....woah! Salty sweet overload!

Grilled Thai Pineapple Pork with a Balsamic Glaze

Why is this a Foodgasm?  Ohhhh sooo many reasons.  First since this pork is marinated in fresh pineapple, Thai green curry paste and lime juice the flavors marry the meat.  It is sweet, a little spicy, savory and ohhhh so juicy!  Top it off with a Balsamic glaze and you got some over the top sweet, sour and spicy action making your taste buds dance like it's 1999.

This is a 3 point foodgasm! (Recipe yields 2 servings)
