Still Hungry... But for Ted!

How I Met Your Mother offers a plethora of men for more tastes than one can shake a stick at (thank you thesaurus for that one!). While some of us enjoy the seductive awesomeness that is Barney, others enjoy the hopeless romantic charms of Theodore "Ted" Evelyn Mosby.

Ted has sparked a movement. Romantics around the world have professed their love to their objects of affection, inspired by Ted's determination to find love. Women desperately swoon over men who are willing to express their emotions, watch Star Wars regularly, design buildings, and wear red cowboy boots.

Fact: the CDC reports that the sales of yellow umbrellas have increased by 450% since the first season of HIMYM. The Wall Street Journal noted a shortage of red boots last year. And the FBI is currently investigating the suspicious rise in Google searches and Amazon purchases of blue French horns. Why you ask?

Why else?

Bon appetit. Buen provecho. Pull a Mosby!

How We Met Barney

First things first... we made the most AH-MAZING sangria yesterday! Look for the post soon :) But in the meantime, let us talk about the wonder that is Barney Stinson.

Now, for those of you who watch How I Met Your Mother, you may think, "Aw, I love Ted!" But ladies, in case you haven't realized it yet, Barney is where it's at. We've paid homage to the man's theories before, but we felt it necessary to also showcase the man himself.

On the outside, Barney is a womanizer and nothing more. However, if you continue to watch you'll find that Barney is also witty, smart, funny, and very sweet. Oh, also, he's awesome. In fact, when he's sad, he stops being sad and is awesome instead. True story. And when he blows his nose, it's just because it was overflowing with awesome and he had to get some of it out. In short, we have an awesome, hilarious man, who's also not too hard on the eyes:

What's not to love?

On a side note, we do understand that Neil Patrick Harris is gay. But have you seen how absolutely adorable he is with his hubby and their twins?

Love!

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! Legen... Wait for it-hope you're not lactose intolerant cause the next word is... dary!

Hungry for Drake

We would say that one of the best parts of the return of The Man Hunger is the return of Hungry for Men Wednesday.  So let's get right to the point, shall we?

 
Oh, Drake... You can't tell us that his way with words and rhymes paired with that sexy pout doesn't make the room start feeling a little bit warmer all of a sudden!

We first fell in love with him during his true Canadian days, starring as Jimmy in Degrassi. Even at such a young age, we could see his potential to be a heartthrob.

And of course it only got better when we paired those sultry lips with that sexy voice. How could anyone resist such a man?! We certainly all know that Mariana can't resist a hot man in a peacoat!

Finally, we leave you with the gorgeous spark that set fire to this week's sexy obession of Drake. Just close your eyes and imagine him serenading you, telling you he'll take care of you...

(It's okay if you hit replay about 5 times. Paula sure did!)

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! YumYum!

Our Biggest Loser Appetite

Every Tuesday, a group of lovely ladies get together to enjoy the finer things in life - some TV (Biggest Loser to be more specific), some food, some wine, and some eye candy. Sounds like the perfect combo for us Man Hunger sisters, right?!

Each time we gather, every girl is in charge of bringing a dish to share with the group. We've had everything from cheese and crackers, to macaroni and cheese, to meatloaf, and a multitude of desserts. We realize the irony of eating such amazing spreads during Biggest Loser, but we enjoy ourselves anyway. And as we munch away and in between comments about the contestants, we admire one of the newest additions to the Biggest Loser team:

Dolvett Quince

Our man here is one of the new trainers on the BL ranch, and we like his style! Whether he's yelling at the contestants, having a heart to heart, or giving us an enchanting smile, he always elicits a collective sigh or "Oh, Dolvett" from the group. So thanks for being the perfect dessert to our feast, Dolvett!

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! Oh, Dolvett!

Mariana and Paula

Our suspicions have been confirmed!

While we have our experimental apple cobbler in the oven and we play with a new macaroni and cheese recipe (make sure you check in tomorrow to see how it all turned out!) we have some time to reflect. On men. This last week we made a trip up to Phoenix for a Lady Antebellum concert. We got a great spot on the floor, sang our hearts out, and enjoyed the view! Most importantly, we confirmed what he had already suspected... Charles Kelley is H. O. T.

You may recall that we've already featured the one and only Mr. Kelley on a previous post. At that time, we based his hotness primarily on his voice and his ability to rock a pea coat like no other man we've seen. However, ladies and gentlemen of the Hungry for Men jury, we now present you the following additional evidence to support our claim:

Exhibit A: Kelley croons his way into our hearts, his passionate voice resonating in our souls.

Exhibit B: Kelley embraces his sexiness and uses it to seduce the audience.

Exhibit C: The camera loves Kelley and we are treated to a double dose of his beauty.

Exhibit D: Watch as Kelley rises from hotness and commands the stage and your attention. See how he makes tight pants and a beautifully revealing shirt look desirable (something that not just any man can pull off). Look above him to the big screen and admire the passion in his face as he belts out that gorgeous manly voice.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. We rest our case.

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! We need Charles now!

Mariana and Paula

PS - We'd like to congratulate Charles for being the first man to grace our Hungry for Men posts twice. It's quite an honor, and, as evidenced by the above, a well deserved one!

Hungry for Bradly Cooper

We are going to go with a classic hottie for this Wednesday's Hungry for Men post: The very lovely, Mr. Bradly Cooper.

His gorgeous baby blues alone will entrance you! And just look at that fine head of hair! He's certainly giving Patrick Dempsey a run for his money!

He's played some many fun roles over the years from the asinine fiance in Wedding Crashers, the wonderfully tan bud in Failure to Launch, to the epic role of the groom's best friend in The Hangover. And let's not forget that shocking scene in Valentine's Day with the ever-gorgeous Eric Dane!

We could go on and on about this sexy man but would we ever really capture all of the hottness that is Bradly Cooper? Probably not... So let's just continue to stare, shall we?

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! YumYum!

The Uniform Effect

It's been well-established by this point that we Vazquez sisters love our television almost as much as our food. It's true (and sometimes shameful) - we watch a lot of TV. One of our favorite shows is How I Met Your Mother, which has inspired this week's Hungry for Men Wednesday's post. If you don't watch, you should. If you do watch, you know that Barney often likes to share his vast knowledge with the group, including this little nugget of wisdom: The Cheerleader Effect

Armed with this knowledge, we have come up with our own theory:

The Uniform Effect

While enjoying a Friday happy hour beverage at our local watering hole, we found ourselves in the presence of a large group of Army men. Our immediate reaction? Ooh! Hot! Nice! Damn! And so forth. But then we started looking more closely and soon realized that many were older, some were bald, and most (though not all) were not really all that good-looking. Thus our theory: do uniforms lead us to believe a man is hotter than he may actually be? Is this effect compounded when the men in uniform are in a group? We believe so! A couple examples...

Firefighters are the quintessential "hot because of the uniform" men. You may see a group of firefighters and your mind is tricked into seeing this...

When, sadly, you may actually be looking at this...

Another example is a less obvious form of a uniform, but one that still falls under the Uniform Effect. Men in suits...

Hot, right? Or are they...

Now, our theory still needs some of the details worked out. For example, these lovely men were brought to my attention:

Does the Uniform Effect apply to Ghostbuster uniforms? Is there any way Bill Murray could ever be hot? 

So we need your input readers! What do you think? Is the Uniform Effect theory solid?

Until we hear from you, enjoy that picture of the firefighters...

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! Uniforms!

Mariana and Paula

PS: A huge thanks to Miss Laura Belle for helping to develop the theory. We know it was a sacrifice to stare at the men in their Army uniforms.

PPS: A shout out to Mariana's hubby Justin, who, in an attempt to be supportive of his wife, continued to check on the blog while in Montana for work. Except that all we blog about is men so he was caught looking at half-naked men on several occasions. :)

Hungry for Bachelors

In honor of tonight's Bachelor Pad 2 finale (you know, that one incredibly high-quality show on ABC), and by special request from our friend Analisa, we'd like to present to you some of our favorite men from Bachelor and Bachelorette history. And to make this more fun, we'll give you both an ABC-sanctioned picture, as well as the one we prefer.

There have been many a Bachelors (15 to be exact), but none have been quite as hot as Brad Womack. The quintessential bad boy with issues, Brad has actually been on the show twice. The first time, he made the bold move of not choosing a "winner"... gasp! The second time he proclaimed that he had been in therapy forever and he was ready for love. Armed with his traveling shrink, Brad gave it another go, only to end in failure once again. But that's ok. Other blogs don't call him Hotter Than Crap Brad for nothing:

But while there have been many-a Bachelors, we enjoy the Bachelorette seasons just as much. Why, you may ask? Well, duh... there's more men to look at! Like Mr. JP Rosenbaum:

 

Or Kiptyn Locke, also known as Kiptyn's Abs:

And then there was Roberto Martinez, who will eternally be known as the reason why women would ever brave such an adventure:

And finally, because we all know Mariana likes her slightly dorky men, there was Chris Lambton. The sweetest, nicest, make-me-sigh man in Bachelorette history:

And, oh yeah, these are his abs...

  

 

Enjoy tonight's quality programming readers!

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! No shirt required!

Hungry for... Kitty?

There are two very exciting events in our lives that make today's Hungry for Men post possible, both revolving around two very cute cats. First, we are happy to announce that we have a new man in our lives and his name is Hugo.

Paula has been considering a pet for quite some time, and not wanting to take on a dog, she finally decided to adopt a kitten (with a little pushing from Mariana). We headed to our local Humane Society and met Mr. Hugo here who captured our hearts with those cute little paws, that wiggly nose, and his purrrrring cuddles. He is now bounding around both Paula's apartment and Mariana's house, learning to get along with his two canine cousins (Lexi's quite curious while Duke is, well, terrified. What can we say, he's not your typical "hunting" dog).

While Mr. Hugo is nothing short of adorable, he does have some competition for favorite kitty. Even the Scum Devils around here have to admit that the start of Arizona football is incredibly exciting! So to honor the kick-off of our favorite time of year, we give you none other than Wilbur T. Wildcat:

He's furry. He's strong. And he's a Wildcat. What more could you ask for ladies?

Here's to fun with Hugo, a great Cat season, and some tailgating too!

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! Bear Down!

Mariana (and Paula, but she probably won't want to claim this one since I called her a Scum Devil. Lurvey you sissy!)

How To Determine If A Man is Hunger-Worthy

As we continue our Man Hunger adventures with seemingly more men than recipes (we have several stocked up that just need to be written, we swear!), one may begin to wonder if there is a pattern in our men. Do we have a type? Time can only tell if that is the case, but what we do know, is that there are certain qualifications a man must have in order for us to be hungry for them. So in no particular order, here are a few of our requirements.

1. Eyes - If the eyes are the windows into a person's soul, then gorgeous eyes must mean a gorgeous soul, right? And certainly a man with a gorgeous soul is a man we're hungry for!

2. Humor - We've said it once and we'll say it a million times... A man who can make us laugh is incredibly attractive! Plus we feel that laughter provides a strong foundation for a good relationship, which is clearly what we're after with any of these men.

3. Dancing and/or singing abilities - Sexy moves? Sexy voice? HOT.

4. Abs - Let's be honest. Women are shallow too, so the fact that this is on the list should come as no surprise.

5. Sweet disposition - Blame it on the Disney movies we grew up with (Oh, Eric, you sexy prince you), or the endless list of chick flicks we watch, but we cannot help but fall for a man who is a sweetheart. Whether it's the way he pines over the woman he can't have, the way he treats his girl, or just being a good human being, as far as we're concerned, the bad boy isn't always the hottest. (Although sometimes he is).

Now, we're not totally unreasonable when it comes to our men, and would never expect a man we're hungry for to have all of these qualities, but could it be possible for one man to have it all? Ladies and gentlemen (because we know the gents out there love these posts too!), we give you:

Matthew Morrison

We invite you to watch an episode of Glee and you'll quickly find that:

1 - Will Schuester can smize right along with the best of them (even you evil Tyra Banks).
2 - He may not be as funny as Sue Sylvester (although really, who is?), but he can always make us laugh.
3 - Can the man dance and sing? Oh yeah!
4 - See picture above. Abs? CHECK!
5 - If Mr. Schue is not sweet, we don't know who is.

And best of all, he's even a little dorky (which we all know Mariana loves). So could Matthew be the perfect man? We're currently tracking him down so that we can confirm... stay tuned.

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! Abs!

Hungry for Men - Special Edition!

So... no excuses. We've been slacking. Between busy schedules, trying to live in separate houses ("I miss you sissy!" That's what we scream at each other over the phone. Or just down the road because we live less than half a block away from each other), and plain old life, we failed to post last week. And yesterday. So to make it up to you, our dedicated and hungry fans, we are making this a very special edition of Hungry for Men Wednesdays. What makes it so special, you ask? Well for one, it's on Thursday. That alone makes it incredible. But if that's not enough for you, we've decided to ask our fans who the hottest male country stars are and why. So here's a smattering... enjoy!

We Think Their Tractors Are Sexy

Dierks Bentley - We'll admit that we cheated on this one a little. The fan who suggested him said she loved him for his curly hair. But when we came across this picture, we couldn't help but swoon! You feel free to come a little closer Dierks!

 

Josh Turner - That deep, manly voice of his has one of our fans absolutely hungry for this country star. And we can't help but agree, especially with that pensive, longing look in those gorgeous eyes. We'd be more happy if you were our man Josh!

Charles Kelley - This man sang his way into a certain fan's heart when she first heard him sing at the CMAs in 2009 with Lady A. There was magical snow swirling, he looked hot in a pea coat, and that voice. Oh that voice. You get drunk, give us a call, and tell us you need us now anytime Charles!

Brad Paisley - Now we admit, Brad wasn't the first man that came to mind when we thought of hot country stars, but there's a reason why he's on this list: his songs. Not "Celebrity" or "I'm Still a Guy," but "She's Everything" and "Then." He knows how to melt a girl's heart, that's for sure! We think you and your wife are adorable, Brad, but we still kind of wish we were your everything!

Tim McGraw - Hotty McHotterson! That's what one fan proclaimed when we asked her who the hottest country star is and she named Tim without hesitation. And can you blame her? We've been swooning over Tim for years as he crooned his way into our hearts. We can only imagine how good you'd feel on our lips Tim!

 

Chuck Wicks - Granted, the fan who suggested him had to Google "hot country stars," but we don't care! Not if it leads to this face. But now that we know about you, all we can think is that you're all we've ever wanted Chuck!

So there you have it! Just a taste of some of the hottest men who can sing! Did we miss someone? Sound off in the comments! You never know, we might end up doing a second edition since this was so much fun.

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! Oh. My. Yum!

Justin Timberlake Makes Us Hungry

It's that time of the week again dear readers! This Wednesday, we have decided that the time has come to discuss the original man we're hungry for: Justin Timberlake. 

The obsession started in 1998. That's right readers, 13 years ago. Mariana was a 14 year old girl who grew up dancing to New Kids on the Block and was now looking for a new love. Paula was 10, the optimal time to find your first love. That summer, Disney aired a concert special featuring *N Sync and life was never the same. Check out the dance moves (especially at the 45 second mark) and you'll see why. Our VCR never saw so much action!

Today, Justin is a multi-talented man who continues to make our hearts melt. He can croon like no one else, be a serious (or not) actor, and make anyone laugh. Seriously, who doesn't like a good SNL short featuring our main man? Even Justin (Mariana's husband... lucky coincidence that they share the name) will admit that he's someone he wouldn't mind hanging out with. But instead of continuing to ramble on about why we love him so much, we'll just give you this:

Ahem. You're drooling.

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! Homana, homana, homana!

Hungry for Ryan Gosling

As many of you may know, I've been abandoned this week by my sister, Mariana, as she went on her honeymoon with her husband to Costa Rica. I did do some experimenting in the kitchen while she has been gone and made up a great recipe to share with our great readers but I have yet to sit down and write a post for it. However, I did not want to skip on our Hungry for Men Wednesdays post so here it goes:

There is a certain man that has been on my mind lately thanks to the previews on TV recently for Crazy, Stupid, Love. Not only are you getting the hilarious Steve Carell and the beautifully endearing Emma Stone but you are getting the lovely, sexy and deliciously shirtless Ryan Gosling. Some of you may remember him from waaaay back in the day in his role as Sean Hanlon, the self-proclaimed Ladies' Man, on Breaker High-that sweet TV series about teenagers who get to go to high school on cruise ship. And now, more than ten years later, he is playing a similar role in this romantic comedy.

My, my, my, how wonderfully you've aged dear Ryan. If you don't mind, I'd like to marry you. Just throwing that out there...

This is one movie I am definitely going to be making my sister take me to this weekend to make for my abandonment... I'm sure it won't take too much convincing!

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! Yum-meee!

-The lone foodie, Paula

Hungry for Jim Halpert

Many people don't get it, but we love John Krasinski. Ironically, our love for him developed as we watched him fall in love with another girl on The Office, but we couldn't help it. He was so endearing when he did little things for Pam, so sweetly broken-hearted when he couldn't have her, and so adorable when he finally got his girl. And who doesn't appreciate a man who can make you laugh?

Paula will tell you that she's going to marry him, but if you ask anyone who knows us well, they'll tell you that he's actually perfect for Mariana. He's exactly her type - the dorky, yet somehow cool, guy who can make you laugh. It's a good thing she's married or John would have one serious stalker. Paula's on his trail though!

So for those who appreciate this incredible man that we are hungry for,  we give you Jim Halpert. *Sigh*

And if you don't like him, that's fine. You can have Dwight.

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! Yummy!

Hungry for Men

We may have just started this little venture we call The Man Hunger, but we Vazquez sisters are already focused on what the fan thinks and wants. And we realize that you, the fan, may feel a little tricked. You may have seen the link, received your invitation, or just stumbled upon us and thought, "Oohers! A blog about the men these two sisters are hungry for! That sounds fascinating." Then you learn that it's really about the food we're hungry for, leading to some sadness and disenchantment. Now, I'm sure as you've seen the magic that we have to offer, what with posts about shells stuffed with goodness and mascots running into cameras for the sake of food, you've felt some of those feelings subside. However, we do not want to disappoint! So without further ado, we present to you:

Hungry for Men Wednesdays!!!!!!
(Cue the choir)

Each Wednesday, we will offer up a man (or two or three) that we are hungry for so that you may feast your eyes upon them. We will take suggestions and display a wide array of men for all tastes and likings. Even you straight men out there may find a guy in our gallery that makes you say, even if only to yourself, "Huh. He is hot."

So where does one start on such a quest? Well, these two sisters decided to go to their other obsession: Grey's Anatomy. Mariana is a long time fan and when the entire series was added to Netflix instant play, she decided it was time that Paula learn about the wonder that is Grey's. Thus, we are pleased to kick off Hungry for Men Wednesdays with:

The Men of Grey's Anatomy!

Mark Sloan aka McSteamy aka Eric Dane. There is not an episode in all 7 seasons that we have not said out loud, "My god he's hot!" Look at that smile, those eyes and all those gorgeous muscles... He can operate on us any day!

Derrick Shepard aka McDreamy aka Patrick Dempsey. That hair alone can put you in a love trance! He's been in our heart from the very start when he played the very nerdy but endearing Ron in Can't Buy Me Love. And now, playing the wonderful part of brain surgeon, he makes you wish you had Alzheimers, just so you can be part of his medical trail and get to see him in scrubs.

Owen Hunt aka Sexy Leprechaun aka Kevin McKidd. Now there is man you want to get lost in a natural disaster with! This is one ginger that we will follow anywhere! War, hospital shooting, on-call room... You name it, we're there!

Jackson Avery aka No Shirt Necessary aka Jesse Williams. This is the sort of man that makes you think that fate must truly exist. Why else has he come into our lives as a sexy young doctor than to give us the will to find out his address so we can stalk him and wait for the perfect moment to "bump" into him and let him fall in love? And let you touch his yummy muscles...

Eli aka Go Dr. Bailey! aka Daniel Sunjata. I mean look at him. He's just so... Those eyes are just... with that smoldering look... And that smile is like... *Sigh* He's just so fantastically indescribable.

So there you have it! The visual buffet of gorgeous, sexy, handsome, incredible, life-saving men of Grey's!

Bon Appetit! Buen Provecho! YUMMY!
