Remember the first time you ever bit into a Chicken Parmesan sandwich? Remember the flood of delight as soon as the sandwich hit your tastebuds? That's kind of what happened when I took my first bite of this sandwich. This recipe takes hardly any ingredients to make. It's simple, quick, and packs a true wollop… Continue reading Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Sandwiches

Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone
It's 3 whole degrees outside. 3. That's it. The wind is howling from the north at a clip of 40 miles per hour, making it feel more like -20 degrees. That is just too dang cold, if you ask me. One thing you need to survive an Oklahoma arctic blast is blankets. LOTS of blankets.… Continue reading Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone
Pork Chop Parmesan
Do you ever have an idea and then instantly regret it when you put that idea into motion? That happened to me this weekend with this recipe. I didn't want to go to the grocery store so all the meals I meal prepped this weekend came from my fridge and pantry. I have a surplus… Continue reading Pork Chop Parmesan
Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
Basil is an odd herb. Sometimes I really enjoy its flavor. Other times I'm turned off by the "skunkiness" of it. I enjoy it chopped fresh on top of tomatoes and mozzarella. I don't like it stirred in with my spaghetti sauce (what??). I'm what you might call a basil-loving enigma. Fresh chopped basil in… Continue reading Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
Jerk Salmon Salad
If it's not from the sea, it ain't for me. At least, that should be my catchphrase right now. I've been on a total seafood binge lately. Everything from canned tuna to shrimp to scallops is on my radar right now. Seafood has always seemed really expensive to me, but now that EVERY protein is… Continue reading Jerk Salmon Salad
Turkey Caprese Sandwiches
Where do you carry your stress? I always carry my stress in my neck. If I'm incredibly stressed out, my neck will hurt to no end. I've got a nice neck massager that I'll use until the thing falls apart on my worst days. It takes a lot to stress me out nowadays. I utilize… Continue reading Turkey Caprese Sandwiches
Caprese Turkey Burger
If there's one thing I love about summer, its the endless Caprese salads. Wait, you don't have endless Caprese salads where you're from? That's weird. I thought it was a universal thing. Okay, I get it. Caprese salads aren't really a "sign of summer" like lemonade stands and hot dogs. But it's something I make… Continue reading Caprese Turkey Burger
Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken
I feel like I'm quickly running out of counter space. I've got my cannisters, a cookie jar (that's consistently empty), an air fryer, a double-Keurig (one that makes a pot and a cup), toaster and knife block all spread throughout my kitchen. My kitchen isn't small by any stretch of the imagination, but I just… Continue reading Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken
Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
I've been craving iceberg lettuce lately. I know, iceberg doesn't have a taste. But there's nothing that has its refreshing crunch. It's the best lettuce to use on burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Hands down. It has very little nutritional value and is just basically water packaged into a lettuce leaf, but it's the most refreshing… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
Caprese Chicken & Rice
I did it! I scheduled a vaccine appointment! Oklahoma opened up our state to phase 3 (which is most Oklahomans, like essential workers) yesterday and as luck would have it, I was signing up on the vaccine portal *right* when they announced phase 3. I managed to snag a highly coveted appointment for tomorrow. I'm… Continue reading Caprese Chicken & Rice
