My Shitty Empire


A woman standing outdoors in a forested area, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a white t-shirt, and a pearl necklace, with a serious expression on her face.

What you’ll find

Welcome to Stephanie’s Shitty Empire, the chaotic little corner of the internet where food, feelings, and feral creativity all pile onto one plate like a late-night munchie meal. Here you’ll find recipes that make sense most of the time, stories that accidentally get emotional, merch that probably started as a joke, and a rotating cast of characters including me, my dog Bunny, and whatever edible kicked in during the brainstorming process. It’s part kitchen, part confession booth, part “I swear I’m trying my best.”

This site is where I cook, write, overshare, and build things out of sheer willpower and misplaced confidence. You’ll get behind-the-scenes chaos, stoner-philosophy musings, shitty stories that hit unexpectedly hard, and all the weird, warm, messy stuff I make along the way. If you like food, humor, creativity, and the vibe of a chef who may or may not have forgotten she left the oven on — you’re in the right place. Enjoy.

Puff. Puff. Pay Her.
$33.00

This shirt is for the mellow little goblin who’s just trying to get through the day with a half-functioning lighter and a full-functioning desire to get paid. “Puff. Puff. Pay Her.” is the universal stoner prayer — spark up, calm down, and kindly remind the universe (and anyone who owes you money) that vibes don’t pay rent.

Soft, comfy, and perfect for wearing during your midday edible spiral, your grocery-store wanderings, or that moment when you forget why you walked into a room. Throw it on, take a hit, and let the world know: generosity is great, but payment is better.
