I may be the cook in the family, but my husband is actually a really good cook, too. He specializes in breakfast, but there are a few different dinners he makes that are really good. One of his favorites is the one pot Swedish meatball dinner. I'm not sure where he found it, but he's… Continue reading One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner

Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Lazy Sundays are the best. Lounging around, listening to good music, binging your favorite TV show and taking an extra long bath really can't be beat. I do most of my cooking on Sunday mornings (I'm a meal prepper) but Sunday afternoons are generally left to relax and rejuvenate before the work week. I've already… Continue reading Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy
Pork tenderloin is a great cut of meat for those on a budget. It's extremely cheap for the amount of meat you get. I can buy a big two-pack, weighing about 4 lbs. total, for $14 at Costco. Tenderloin is also a very versatile protein. You can use it like you would pork chops, and… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy
Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
One of the first restaurants I ate at after moving to Oklahoma City in 2012 was Texadelphia. There was once a few different locations of Texadelphia in OKC, but now there is only one left in Bricktown. That's the one I went to when I first moved here. Texadelphia is a Philly cheesesteak place with… Continue reading Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
One of my favorite places to eat in college was Olive Garden. That's a weird statement, I know. But listen, my small little town didn't have much to choose from. And as a broke college student, you couldn't get a much better deal than OG's unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. My go-to was the Zuppa… Continue reading Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
French Onion Chicken & Rice
My French Onion obsession continues with this insanely delicious casserole. I made French onion potatoes a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit. I've made French Onion Chicken & Noodles before and it was also a great recipe. This chicken & rice recipe, though, may take the cake. It's a simple recipe that… Continue reading French Onion Chicken & Rice
Skillet Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
There's nothing like fresh lemon dishes in the Spring. I love putting lemon zest and lemon juice on chicken, vegetables, and springtime soups. It adds a wonderful freshness to a dish. Lemon-roasted chicken is my all-time favorite way to eat a whole chicken. Roasting a whole chicken can be quite challenging, though, especially if you're… Continue reading Skillet Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
Pork Reuben Wraps
I was never a big sauerkraut fan growing up. I'm sure not many kids were, either. Fermented cabbage isn't really on most kids' lists of favorite foods. As I've grown older, I've learned to love the stuff. I especially love it on a classic Reuben sandwich. There was a great deli for years in uptown… Continue reading Pork Reuben Wraps
Tex-Mex Chicken Salad
Calling all chicken salad lovers! Are you tired of the same grape-and-pecan chicken salad? Sick of eating chicken salad out of a can? Then this recipe is for you! It's spicy, zippy, and has just the right amount of flavor to knock you off your feet. It's different, unique, and quite tasty on a tortilla… Continue reading Tex-Mex Chicken Salad
Speedy Stroganoff
I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've been collecting old, new and local cookbooks for years now. I've got an entire bookshelf, two tubs, and two small drawer stands full of cookbooks. There are two cookbooks that stand out as superior in my eyes: Taste of Home and Gooseberry Patch. I especially love Gooseberry Patch cookbooks.… Continue reading Speedy Stroganoff
