Woo. My whole life is packed up into dozens of boxes right now. I'm eating breakfast off of a paper plate and sipping coffee out of one of the two coffee cups I left out. We don't technically move until August 1st, but my husband and I have spent the last 5 days packing so… Continue reading Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Chicken & Apple Sandwiches with Basil Mayo
We've been eating a lot of sandwiches lately. One of my favorite things to do is get some Red Bag Chicken from Aldi (if you know, you know), a brioche bun and some pickles and make knock-off Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. I'm also quite fond of a regular turkey, cheese and mustard sandwich. I'll live on tuna… Continue reading Chicken & Apple Sandwiches with Basil Mayo
Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
Rob and I have become Aldi nerds. We've figured out we can get far more bang for our buck by shopping at Aldi. I've cut back our monthly grocery/food bill from around $400 a month to $200 a month while we finish up buying our house. Aldi plays a huge part in that. There's certain… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
When you're broke, packing, and starving where do you turn? POTATOES. Potatoes fill the void like no other. They're cheap, filling, and extremely versatile. We've been munching on potatoes for the last several weeks while we scrounge every penny to buy our first house. Tired of mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and fries? There is another… Continue reading BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
If you start to poke around my kitchen, you'll notice an abundance of canned and jarred sauces. I love to keep tomato, alfredo, and curry sauces on hand. There's so much you can do with them. If you need to whip up a dinner real quick, just grab a jar, some protein, and either rice… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
We're getting closer and closer to moving into our first house. This whole closing period has been the most stressful event ever, and I'm ready to get it done and move out into the country. Rob and I will be moving to the outskirts of a small town I fell in love with many years… Continue reading Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
I've got this extreme craving for Chinese food right now. I'm normally always craving Chinese, but even more so now. It probably doesn't help watching Chinese food TikToks in my spare time. We're saving almost every last penny to pay for closing costs on our house, so we can't eat out or order takeout right… Continue reading Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
Falafel Pita with Pea & Mint Hummus
I've been taking the time to make meatless meals every so often. I'm a big meat eater. We're constantly going through chicken, pork and beef. I'm also a firm believer in switching up your meals. I'll eat tofu (sparingly, my body doesn't really like soy), salads for dinner and other meatless options when I just… Continue reading Falafel Pita with Pea & Mint Hummus
Copycat Cheddar’s Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
I grew up in a small North Texas city called Wichita Falls. Wichita Falls has always been a few decades behind other major metropolitan areas. That could be attributed to a typical slow Southern pace, or it could be attributed to the fact that it's pretty far away from the closest metro area (2 hours… Continue reading Copycat Cheddar’s Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
French Onion Chicken Pasta
When I cook and shoot pictures of my meals, I use 2 different SD cards. One is in my camera at all times, the other is usually in my computer. I switch them out when I need to get pictures off the other.That means I have pictures of meals on some of these cards that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Pasta
