Cowboy Beans
My mom had a pretty good rotation of meals when I was a kid, but I was a slightly picky child. Anytime she would say we were having hot dogs or spaghetti or chili for dinner I would grimace. I would eat it, of course, but I'd eat it begrudgingly. One thing I really didn't… Continue reading Cowboy Beans
Bubble Up Cheesy Breakfast Bake
There is one thing you need to know about Velveeta: you either love it or hate it. Velveeta is an ultra-processed American cheese that has a pretty distinct taste. It's known for its ability to melt well and add creaminess to dishes. Most people only buy the logs of Velveeta to make queso (also known… Continue reading Bubble Up Cheesy Breakfast Bake
Eggs in a Nest
I wish Americans named their meals like the Brits do. British people have so many funny names for foods. Toad in a hole, stargazer pie, bubble and squeak, spotted dick---and there's many more where that came from. I'm going to make "eggs in a nest" a thing, then. Some people refer to toast with an… Continue reading Eggs in a Nest

For people wanting a "healthier" barbecue side dish, broccoli salad was the best bet. Your aunt or mom probably makes a variation of broccoli salad that includes dried cranberries, raisins, and/or sunflower… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Broccoli Salad
Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Happy Easter, y'all! My Easter holidays have been much more subdued these last few years. Although we keep it low-key, I try to stick to some classics for the day: pork, deviled eggs, and potatoes. I make some variations of each of those ingredients. Sometimes it's a pork roast, sometimes a pork shoulder. The deviled… Continue reading Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Barbecue Oven-Roasted Potato Salad
I've been testing out potato salad recipes lately trying to find one that I like. My family potato salad, which I posted years ago, is increasingly challenging to make. Not because it's a hard recipe, but because there's an ingredient that is almost impossible to find in the grocery store: green onion dip mix. If… Continue reading Barbecue Oven-Roasted Potato Salad
Turkey Cobb Club Sandwich
Are you preparing your fridge and Tupperware for the big Thanksgiving Day feast? I've been clearing out space in my fridge for days. I've got a perfect little spot for my turkey Tupperware container carved out amongst the bottles of barbecue sauce and tubs of whipped cream. I'm ready to feast for days on leftover… Continue reading Turkey Cobb Club Sandwich
Fall Harvest Cobb Salad
One of the best salads around is a good old fashioned Cobb salad. Cobb salads were first introduced at an infamous Hollywood restaurant known as the Brown Derby. The salad is allegedly named after the restaurants owner, Robert Howard Cobb, and it made its first appearance at the restaurant sometime in the late 1930's. The… Continue reading Fall Harvest Cobb Salad
