I've been trying to make a lowcarb version of broccoli cheese rice for a while now. I've made a baked version before in a casserole dish, but it didn't turn out that great. It was too dry and not nearly cheesy enough. The cauliflower rice wasn't the problem, so I knew I was on to… Continue reading One Pan Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli
The search is on for different ways to make sandwiches and burgers into wraps. Who needs another boring lettuce-wrapped burger recipe? Not me. I've been finding different ways to use lettuce---and different types of lettuce to use---for the better part of a year now. I've had some hits (shredded Mexican beef wraps) and some misses… Continue reading Indian Chicken Wraps
Sundays are probably my least favorite days of the week. Since I work overnights, I basically get a half day on Sundays. I'll typically wake up around 3 am, and then be back in bed at 11 in the morning. I get all my cooking done on Sundays, but that's about the only "fun" thing… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Salad

Mesquite smoke-flavored chicken lives on my tastebuds. I've branched outside of good ol' Texas barbecue many times before. I've had Memphis-dry rubbed ribs… Continue reading Pulled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce
How's your Wednesday going, Colleen? Well, I currently feel like my cat, Iggy: We're midway through the week but it already feels like Friday. This week has just drug on, and on, and on... I'm trying to make a snack for our work Super Bowl party on Friday but messed up the first version, baked… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Salad
Today, I snapped. I ate three cookies. One of my coworkers brought in some homemade sugar cookies with icing and I went in for the usual "smell but don't touch" trick and failed. After eating one--I was in heaven. Two more cookies later and I felt bad about my poor choices in life. I won't… Continue reading Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
