I think I've probably slept for 12 hours over the last day. I don't know why I've been so tired. Maybe all the stress from last week? I was supposed to do a million things when I woke up this morning, but instead took a nap. Right after I woke up. Makes sense, right? I… Continue reading Sausage & Peppers with Zucchini Noodles

Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Zucchini
Alright, y'all. My obsession with chicken parmesan has hit a new level. I'm completely in love with the combination of crispy chicken, marinara, and cheese. I though I had made just about every recipe ever for chicken parmesan...but then I think of something new. This is one of those times. I really wanted to stuff… Continue reading Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Zucchini
Chicken Piccata Stir Fry
Let's talk about fruit baskets. Mine is getting a little out of control. What should be housing bananas and oranges inside it's wirey bowl, is loaded with avocados, whole wheat pitas, and tortillas. Two of those things are not like the other! My fruit basket has gotten so out of hand, I forgot I had… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Stir Fry
Italian Potato Nachos
One of the best feelings in the world is cleaning out your kitchen when making a meal. That can of diced tomatoes you've had lingering in the back of the cabinet? Throw it in. Half-used bags of shredded cheese? Let's get rid of them! The greatest meals I've ever whipped together were ones where I… Continue reading Italian Potato Nachos
Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Let's talk spaghetti. Spaghetti has invaded American kitchens for years. It's cheap to make, feeds a whole family, and fills you up quick. There are a million different ways to make it, and a million different ways to eat it. When we make spaghetti, nine times out of ten we use pre-made, jarred sauce and… Continue reading Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Shrimp Scampi with Pesto Couscous
I think I have everything that I need for my weekend camping trip. Tent, tarp, food, water, cooler, air mattress, lanterns, pump, Cards Against Humanity... All good on the camping front. Now, to pack. I have a feeling I'm going to be bringing far too much stuff, but it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared,… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi with Pesto Couscous
Baked Caprese Panzanella Salad
Summer is right around the corner, and with that comes cookouts, barbecues, camping and vacations. I typically loathe the hot weather, but I'm actually looking forward to it this year. Next weekend I'm going on a camping trip with friends to my most favorite place on the planet: Chickasaw National Recreation Area. It's a beautiful… Continue reading Baked Caprese Panzanella Salad
Chicken Parmesan Lasagna
It's about to be a whirlwind these next few weeks, so I'm trying to pile up as many blog posts as I can. I've got training for a new editing system at work (plus moving over files from the old system to the new), a quick work trip to Memphis, registry/wedding stuff to do, and… Continue reading Chicken Parmesan Lasagna
Adult Spaghetti-O’s
When I first saw this recipe on Bon Appetit, I knew I had to make it. I grew up loving Spaghetti-O's; so much so, I would eat them cold and straight out of the can. I guess I may have been a weird little kid... My only hesitation when making this recipe was the tomato sauce. I… Continue reading Adult Spaghetti-O’s
Chicken Parmesan Casserole
This past weekend, a couple of my gal pals and I went to dinner at a new Korean restaurant in town called Chae. The owner of Chae also owns this wonderful coffee shop that we all frequent, so we didn't think twice about eating at his new place. Both of my friends, Sam and Malisa,… Continue reading Chicken Parmesan Casserole
