By now, most of your know I'm a seasoning fanatic. I've got jars upon jars of seasoning in my cabinet. I'm also quite fond of making my own seasoning. When I couldn't find any jerk seasoning at the store a few weeks ago, I made my own. I already had most ingredients on hand, so… Continue reading Jamaican Jerk Turkey Meatballs

Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
I've been trying to eat more vegetarian/vegan meals since meat prices are so high right now. So far, I've stuck to one meatless meal a week. This week I made tacos with all veggies and it was phenomenal. Mushrooms have always been my favorite and they're the perfect meat replacement, especially if cooked correctly. Portobello… Continue reading Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
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
Greek Turkey Bowls
I'm a seasoning hoarder. I love to pick up new spice blends whenever I can. That means my spice cabinet is overstuffed and overflowing with seasoning. Slap Ya Mama is one of my favorites. I also love Trader Joe's Green Goddess seasoning. A regular Italian seasoning is fine, too. But one of my absolute FAVORITES… Continue reading Greek Turkey Bowls
No Frills Spicy Deer Chili
It's been a long time since I've had deer. I'm not a hunter and neither is my husband. Most hunters hoard (rightfully so) what meat they do end up harvesting throughout the year. It's hard to get your hands around deer meat around here. Luckily, one of my coworkers needed to make space for new… Continue reading No Frills Spicy Deer Chili
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
Pork & Apples with Stuffing
I absolutely adore this time of year. The period of time between Halloween and Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. There are pumpkins everywhere, people are starting to put up their Christmas stuff (me included) and Thanksgiving foods are placed at the front of the grocery stores. I'm well stocked up for the holidays… Continue reading Pork & Apples with Stuffing
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
Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you've never had "bang bang" shrimp before, you've missed out on an epic flavor journey. I believe the term originated with a restaurant chain called "Bonefish Grill" but you can now find it at just about any seafood restaurant (including Red Lobster, I'm pretty sure). All it is: spicy mayo. Basically. That's it in… Continue reading Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts
I feel like Brussels Sprouts get a bad rap. People either love them or hate them, and most people HATE them. Maybe it's their stinky smell (it's rather unpleasant when you microwave them especially) or their thick, crunchy texture. I believe most people have just had them served all wrong. Boiled or steamed Brussels sprouts… Continue reading Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts
