I've been working in TV news for more than 10 years. It's hard to believe that. I remember my first day at a television station like it was yesterday. I thought everything was so technologically advanced and that I was way out of my league for a choice of a job. Looking back now, I… Continue reading Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad
I traveled back in time this weekend. I went to a place that I hadn't been to in more than a decade. Tucked away in a small corner of North Texas is an area that's near and dear to my heart: Doans, Texas. It's just a few miles north of the big "city" of Vernon… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad
Spinach & Bacon Pinwheels
Who doesn't love a few good appetizers ahead of the big meal on Thanksgiving? I love snacking before the feast. I usually don't eat breakfast on Thanksgiving Day so I can save up my energy for all the food later in the day. My family always set out a cheese plate and a few other… Continue reading Spinach & Bacon Pinwheels
Cheese Tot Skewers
If there's one thing I like about certain recipes, it's how easy they are to make. Nothing beats making a four-course meal in 30 minutes. It's a thrill making dozens of appetizers for a crowd when it take less effort than putting on clothes. Easy recipes are my favorite. It's even better when a recipe… Continue reading Cheese Tot Skewers
Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
It's officially *spooky season* and that means it's also soup season. I adore a good bowl of soup, but I'm running out of soup recipes to make! I've made just about every soup and stew you can think of at this point. I guess that's what happens when you have a recipe blog for 8+… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
Tater Tot Breakfast Bake
I'm in the camp that believes breakfast casseroles are not just meant for the holidays. That's typically when people make them. I'm guessing a lot of people reserve breakfast casseroles for Christmas because they can feed a lot of people with minimal effort. But if you meal prep like I do, having leftovers is a… Continue reading Tater Tot Breakfast Bake
Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Some of the best green beans you'll ever taste in your life are the ones that are pan-fried with bacon. It's a classic green bean recipe that most everyone knows. Bacon, onion, and green beans all come together for the perfect side dish. But what if you could make a version of that...but better? That's… Continue reading Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Farmer’s Breakfast Casserole
This is a classic breakfast recipe. Farm fresh ingredients. Crispy, smoky bacon. Hashbrowns cooked with cheese. Those are all the things people enjoy in a good breakfast-time meal. When I first spotted this recipe, it was simple enough that I'd usually turn the page in my cookbooks. But something about it called out to me;… Continue reading Farmer’s Breakfast Casserole
Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad
Labor Day is here and I'm, well, laboring. When I was a kid, my stepdad and I would use the extended weekend to work on projects around the house. Not like I WANTED to do that on a weekend off, but I did anyway. It's something that's stuck with me ever since then. I don't… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad
Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing
We're in for a long dry spell this week. Temperatures are about to soar into the upper 90's and there's not a lick of rain in the forecast. The humidity will be through the roof, too, making temperatures feel more like they're in the 100's. It's definitely the dog days of summer right now. I'm… Continue reading Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing
