I cannot get enough of this vintage cookbook I rediscovered in my collection. It's a compilation of recipes from women who attended the First United Methodist Church in Burkburnett, Texas in 1977. I started out cooking a knockoff KFC chicken recipe from the book for TikTok. After that, I was hooked. There are so many… Continue reading Chicken Taco Casserole

Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
We're only a few days away from Thanksgiving and you know what that means: the holiday baking season is officially here. Let's eat all the pies, quick breads, cookies and candies our little hearts desire. I'm ready to put my brand new oven to good use. I bought a giant-sized bag of flour the other… Continue reading Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
This could be my last overnight oat recipe for a while. For one thing, we're getting burnt out on overnight oats. Another reason: we're running out of overnight oat flavors to try! I've done apple pie, strawberry, blueberry and now pumpkin. What else is left? This recipe was probably my favorite. Well, it's a toss… Continue reading Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Woo. My whole life is packed up into dozens of boxes right now. I'm eating breakfast off of a paper plate and sipping coffee out of one of the two coffee cups I left out. We don't technically move until August 1st, but my husband and I have spent the last 5 days packing so… Continue reading Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
When you're broke, packing, and starving where do you turn? POTATOES. Potatoes fill the void like no other. They're cheap, filling, and extremely versatile. We've been munching on potatoes for the last several weeks while we scrounge every penny to buy our first house. Tired of mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and fries? There is another… Continue reading BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
If you start to poke around my kitchen, you'll notice an abundance of canned and jarred sauces. I love to keep tomato, alfredo, and curry sauces on hand. There's so much you can do with them. If you need to whip up a dinner real quick, just grab a jar, some protein, and either rice… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
There are a lot of noises coming from inside and outside of my apartment. It's a busy morning in the city. Workers are hard at work building new patios on my neighboring apartments. A table saw buzzes in the distance. Bolo, my frisky Siamese cat, is sitting by the window cleaning his foot. The slurping… Continue reading Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
Ravioli Lasagna
Another day, another stay-at-home-and-work routine. I've got this new way of life down pat. I do the same things almost everyday so I can keep some sort of normalcy during this pandemic. I'll be staying home through at least the end of May, though that could change. I like working from home, but I'm ready… Continue reading Ravioli Lasagna
Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
I'm starting to get the hang of the whole grocery-shopping-every-three-weeks thing. The first two weeks are great. My meals are packed full of fresh vegetables and fruit. The third week is the "lean" week. That's the mad-dash to make casseroles and use whatever is left in the fridge/freezer. By the end of the third week… Continue reading Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
