There's something about classic casserole recipes that just puts my mind at ease. Chicken and rice will instantly make my day better. Chicken spaghetti will fill me up with warmth and happiness. Stuffed shells or manicotti will make me dream of better days. One thing I've noticed in a lot of vintage cookbooks is something… Continue reading Hot Chicken Salad

Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls were all the rage a few years ago. It's like somebody somewhere had a bright idea of just pouring a smoothie into a bowl, adding toppings, and upcharging the heck out of it. It was brilliant, really. It makes smoothies look a little more appetizing and much more photogenic. The #foodie culture ate… Continue reading Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Crustless Cranberry Pie
I hope everyone had a magical Thanksgiving! Up next, the main event: Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. I FINALLY got a working oven after waiting upwards of 3 months, so now I'm in full holiday baking mode. I've made a batch of M&M cookies already, but other than that, I've… Continue reading Crustless Cranberry Pie
Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Life without an oven sucks. Our oven has been broken for going more than 2 months now. We've been battling our home warranty company for that time to try and either get it fixed or get a new one. We FINALLY had a warranty-approved repair man come out and look at it and he said… Continue reading Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Almond Blueberry Overnight Oats
I'm running out of overnight oat ideas! They've been such a hit in my house since I made the first batch of apple pie overnight oats. My husband eats a jar full before he goes to work. So far, this blueberry version might be his favorite. Overnight oats are the answer to just about everything.… Continue reading Almond Blueberry Overnight Oats
Christmas Neapolitan Cookies
When it comes to baking, I tend to stick to the basics. I'm not going to bake a 3-tier cake from scratch. Give me some butter, sugar, and flour and I'll make drop cookies all day long. The easier, the better. These cookies are about as intense as I'll go. I kept seeing people posting… Continue reading Christmas Neapolitan Cookies
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
We're starting to get into the season where salads just don't hold up very well. The colder it gets, the heartier a meal people want. I'm down for a big bowl of soup when it's 50 degrees outside, but a big bowl of salad? That's not really my jam. This salad is a little bit… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower Salad
Lemon Almond Chicken Salad
There's a long, extended weekend in store for me. I decided to take a few days off this week while my stepdad is in town. I'm headed back to my hometown for a few days to relax and see old friends. As for today, I don't plan on leaving this couch at ALL. I've needed… Continue reading Lemon Almond Chicken Salad
Italian Roasted Broccoli
It's been a while. Well, less than a week, but still. I spent the majority of last week laid up on a couch. I had some kind of respiratory infection and it knocked me out for a while. I finally went to the doctor on Wednesday and got some antibiotics and steroids. Thank god for… Continue reading Italian Roasted Broccoli
Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
I think I've gotten a contact high from some paint job Rob was working on. Wooh. Not nearly enough ventilation in this apartment, that's for sure. I also made matters worse by busting out the grill pan and grilling up some bratwurst for lunch. The grill pan and brats produced a lot of smoke; I… Continue reading Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
