This year I planted a vegetable garden for the first time. I bought a simple, self-watering garden box from Costco and then loaded up on seeds and soil. I even bought plant food just in case I needed it! Everything was chugging along fine for a few weeks. My seeds slowly grew into sprouts (what… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Casserole

Pesto Chicken Spaghetti
It's that time of year when I want to be outside for every waking moment. The temperatures are incredible. The sun is magnificent. The birds are chriping and singing and building nests. The tulips and irises are blooming and creating a spectacular blanket of color across the Oklahoma countryside. The breeze---well, I could do without… Continue reading Pesto Chicken Spaghetti
Quesadilla Chicken Salad
I've never been one of those people who loved big chain restaurants. Applebee's was the place to go when I was in college (probably for their cheap, potent mixed drinks during Happy Hour) and yet it was a place I would never step foot in. Cheddar's opened when I was in junior high in my… Continue reading Quesadilla Chicken Salad
Greek Tortellini Salad
Is there a pasta shortage I don't know about? I know there are supply chain issues on just about everything right now, but pasta?! When I live in the farm belt of the Midwest??? Seriously, my pasta aisle has been wiped clean for about a month now. The only thing that remains is the boxed… Continue reading Greek Tortellini Salad
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Is it just trendy, or is this the new way to make wraps/quesadillas/sandwiches? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the "triangle" method. You've got a large tortilla and you make one slit in it midway. Then, you fill up each quarter with ingredients. Fold it up along the slight until… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Hot Honey Chicken Salad
I'm trying to get in this mindset that we're living in a much warmer season than it actually is. I'm dreaming of summer, cicadas chirping, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, and long sunsets. Instead, what I'm actually living in is barren trees, ice crystals on my windshield, and a churning heater. I'm sick… Continue reading Hot Honey Chicken Salad
Betty’s Chicken Salad
Before you ask, no, I don't know who Betty is. I'm one of those people who writes down recipes every chance I can get. I've been doing it for almost 10 years, and I've got recipes coming out of my ears. Most of the recipes I've written down came from my mom, grandma, or Aunt.… Continue reading Betty’s Chicken Salad
Tortellini Florentine Soup
I love using leftovers in a soup. I think most of my soup recipes have been created by using whatever I had left in my fridge and pantry. And you know what? Those are some of the best soup recipes I've ever made. This recipe can be used with leftover Thanksgiving turkey (if you still… Continue reading Tortellini Florentine Soup
Southern Chicken & Cornbread Bake
If you're like me, you have a TON of Thanksgiving leftovers in your fridge. I'm sure you've made plenty of turkey sandwiches by now, but what if you could make an amazing dinner out of your leftovers? I'm here to tell you that's possible and it's super easy. I made this casserole last week with… Continue reading Southern Chicken & Cornbread Bake
Homestyle Chicken & Noodles
I meal-prep my husband's lunches for the week. When I asked him what he wanted last week, he said "chicken and noodles". Bewildered, I asked him what that meant. He tried to explain it but I kept thinking chicken noodle soup. But that was NOT what he wanted! Finally, he pulled up a description online… Continue reading Homestyle Chicken & Noodles
