DIY Hibachi Dinner
I love going to Hibachi restaurants, but they're so gosh darn expensive. Hibachi is usually for special occasions or for an elevated date night. It's definitely not a place you can frequent because of the price. That's why making your own hibachi dinner at home makes so much sense. I call it my DIY Hibachi… Continue reading DIY Hibachi Dinner
Copycat Hamburger Helper Lasagna
When I had Hamburger Helper growing up, I had my favorites: Stroganoff was the best, Cheeseburger came in second place, and Hamburger Helper Lasagna was a close third.

Easy Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas
Growing up in Texas makes it easy to become a Tex Mex snob. I like my enchiladas a certain way. If my meal doesn't come with complimentary chips, salsa, and queso, I'm not a happy camper. Cilantro and diced white onions should cover just about every entree. I moved from Texas to Oklahoma more than… Continue reading Easy Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas

There are a million different versions of homemade Chipotle bowls out there but this fish Fajita bowl may be one of the best. I've made them a ton of different ways.

Swedish Meatballs and Gnocchi
My husband and I have a pretty cherished circulation of dinner recipes. We can only eat together two days a week (we work opposite shifts) so we have the same ol' standby recipes. One of my favorites is one he actually discovered: a one pot Swedish Meatball dinner. I've blogged about that recipe before. It's… Continue reading Swedish Meatballs and Gnocchi
Pork-Free Red Beans and Rice
I have a friend who doesn't eat pork but makes some of the best soul food I've ever had. Instead of using ham hocks or bacon in her greens and beans, she uses smoked turkey wings or legs. I started doing this as well and was amazed at the flavor. You get all of the… Continue reading Pork-Free Red Beans and Rice
