Even our goats are going crazy.

Ever since Taco Bell introduced the Doritos Locos Tacos in 2012 (Nacho Cheese) and again in 2013 (Cool Ranch), the Internet has lost its collective shit for Doritos. Our own Christina Uticone got the chip-induced fever and reviewed both flavors herself and rumor has it that Frito Lay is making a Doritos-Locos-flavored Doritos -- which just kind of blows our minds, but we digress...

Knowing that the Internet wouldn't let the madness stop at Taco Bell, we went on the hunt for some of the wildest Doritos creations out there. We figured y'all were crazy...and boy, were we right.

Check out these 5 Insane Genius Kinda Awesome Doritos Ideas:

Winter. Is. Coming.

If you are confused by that statement, stop reading now. We are no longer friends. (Jk, you can keep reading.)

This Sunday is a special day. Yes, I know it's Easter Sunday and that is a very special day to many, but that is not what I'm talking about here.

I'm talking about the battle for the Iron Throne...A Storm of Swords...the season 3 premiere of Game of Thrones. If you haven't seen HBO's hit show based on George R.R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, that's okay -- there's still time! Just On Demand or Netflix the shit out of seasons 1 and 2 right now.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm freaking pumped. Pumped enough to borrow my sister's Daenerys costume and throw myself a party full of GoT-inspired snacks and libations.

Join me in my Feast of Ice and Fire, but beware: There are spoilers ahead for those who haven't enjoyed the books or seasons 1 and 2 of the TV show quite yet.

This weekend, I'll be attending the 3rd Annual Friendster. While it may sound like the name of a defunct social network, it's actually an Easter potluck with my degenerate group of friends. Last year's bounty was quite interesting -- from my homemade spinach bread and raspberry French macarons to a bag of McGangBangs. Yes, you read that correctly.

This year, I'll be making one of my family's favorite Easter treats: spanakopita and tiropita, or Greek spinach and cheese pies.

Layers of crisp, buttery phyllo dough are filled with garlic-studded spinach and tangy feta cheese, or creamy ricotta, crumbled feta and eggs. These pastries make the perfect springtime treat and are super easy to make for a crowd.

Here's how:

Sweet potato tots at Sonic are a great afternoon snack.

Tater tots at Sonic are always a good choice. In high school, my friends and I would hit up Sonic for an afternoon snack and Happy Hour sodas on a weekly basis. Diet cherry limeades and tater tots were the perfect snack after a long day of school.

Now Sonic offers a twist on the traditional tater tot: sweet potato tots. Instead of white potatoes encased in a crispy tater-tot batter, these tots are filled with chopped-up bits of sweet potato.

At first I was a little hesitant to stray away from the classic tater tots, but once I popped one of those sweet tots in my mouth, my taste buds were surprisingly satisfied.

Taco cupcakes are so simple to make and are perfect the Super Bowl this weekend.

The Food & Drink section of Pinterest is overflowing with recipes for Super Bowl weekend. Almost every pin is an easy appetizers, hearty game-day chili or a football-themed dessert. So, I decided to make an easy appetizer you can serve up to everyone at your home as you enjoy all the Super Bowl festivities.

I know you're probably wondering, did she really make cupcakes that taste like tacos? Absolutely not. These are savory one-bite appetizers that are made in a cupcake pan. Don't worry, I didn't blend the spiciness of tacos with the sweetness of a cupcake ... that does not sound appetizing at all. Instead of using wonton wrappers and making a "double decker" style cupcake like the original recipe I found on Pinterest, I decided to use frozen phyllo-dough tart shells, so this recipe yields more tarts than the original recipe because they are smaller.

This is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients that you can throw together in less than an hour.

Note: This is a rerun of a post from earlier this year in which Eating...Our Words blogger Brooke Viggiano shares a favorite tailgating recipe in honor of game day.

A classic hot dog is good and all. But you know what's better? A Corn dog, corn dog, corn dog, corn dog, corn dog, corn dog...

Luckily, these deep-fried treats on a stick are surprisingly easy to make at home. Here's how:

Football season is here! I could not be more excited to throw on a jersey, stress over my fantasy team and get a nice buzz while watching the games every weekend. But equally as important -- the food!

These Pulled Pork Sliders w/ Cider Barbecue Sauce make the perfect, stress-free grub for a big crowd. Just make a crock full of the slow cooked, sweet and sour, über-tender pork and serve it straight from the pot with slider rolls and a mix of toppings on the side. Guests can dress their sliders as they please and you can pay attention to the game (or your pregame, depending on how hardcore you are). Here's how:

English muffins are a constant in my household. I love the texture of the spongy dough filled with its all-famous nooks and crannies. Crisp up those little guys, and anything goes.

The only rule, in my opinion, is no knife. Using a fork to split them open keeps the integrity of the incredible texture. Besides that, the muffin is your oyster -- breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, munchies; it all works.

Here are Five Great Ways To Use The English Muffin:

Scene: KFC International Food Testing HQ

"So what you're telling me, Colonel, is that I can only get these creamy, delicious, bacon and herb stuffed taters...when I go to Japan? Japan!! Is that what you're telling me!??!

Cue sound effects: multiple explosions followed by a quick sword fight and the screech of a vehicle.

A masked girl in black leaves the HQ on a moped. Colonel Sanders is tied up on the back.

Cue montage of masked girl traveling the world on her moped, kidnapping fast food chain mascots using only her incredible intelligence and a sword. Note: montage set to the tune of Knight Rider theme song.

End scene.
