My chicken strike might be over. I haven’t cooked chicken in months (as you may or may have not noticed). I like chicken but I’m really picky about the texture and taste. If I get a gristly bit (you know, a little cartilage or fat) or it tastes too chicken-y, then I’m done and won’t want to eat chicken for an extended period of time. Yes, I said “too chicken-y.” I blame my dad for getting that idea into my head. He used to say that all the time when I was a kid (and still does) and now as an adult I …

Chocolate Cupcakes for Two
Today my blog is four years old. Wow… just wow. Every birthday deserves a cake. I didn’t want to make an entire cake for just me and my husband so I went with cupcakes instead. The best part is that it’s a recipe for only two cupcakes which is totally perfect for a party of 2! Guys, I’m going all out for this occasion and sharing my first cupcake recipe with you. How have I not made cupcakes before?! Oh right, I hate frosting cupcakes simply because I’m horrible at it. Baking the cupcakes is easy peezy. It’s just like …
Pizza Fingers
I took English muffins and turned them into little pizzas because… well, why not? I love pizza. Let me count the ways I can eat thee… take out, homemade (aka traditional style crust), homemade with whole wheat crust, naan style, and skillet style (which is the most famous of them all on my blog… by far). You can really get creative with turning foods into pizzas (or things that resemble pizza ingredients). Sometimes it’s out of necessity because you’re a college student and all you have is sliced bread, sauce, and string cheese. Sometimes it’s about the fun to see what you …
A New Look!
You got a minute or a few? Grab a cup a coffee (or your favorite beverage) and let me share what I’ve been up to around here. If you’re familiar with my blog then don’t be confused. This is still the same Tina’s Chic Corner that you know and love, but with a whole new look! After four years (holy cow, my blog will be four years old next week), I decided to redesign my blog. This change sort of happened by accident. My old blog theme was a customized version of a theme called Pinboard that was created by my …
Homemade Chocolate Chip Pancakes
An oldie but goodie with a chocolate twist. Weekend breakfast time with my boo is one of my favorite things on earth, mostly because I enjoy his company. He also usually makes breakfast so of course it’s awesome when someone cooks for you, too. Regrettably, I was busy taking pictures of today’s post while he was making breakfast (and even the whole time while he was eating it) so our time in the kitchen this time was a bit divided. (He even washed the dishes which is usually my job… thanks, love!) I shared this pancake recipe with you about two …
