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
Fully Loaded Tomato Soup
I'm souped out for the forseeable future. I've probably made more soups this winter than ever before. It's been a rough one. We've had the lowest temperatures Oklahoma has ever had before, tons of snow, and an insane ice storm to kick off the season. I'm ready for warmer temps, blooming flowers, and cold beers… Continue reading Fully Loaded Tomato Soup
Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
We're getting closer and closer to moving into our first house. This whole closing period has been the most stressful event ever, and I'm ready to get it done and move out into the country. Rob and I will be moving to the outskirts of a small town I fell in love with many years… Continue reading Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
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
Caprese Turkey & Biscuits
It's Monday, you guys. I know some of you are in a daze, not knowing what day it is. It's hard to keep track when you never leave the house. I am currently working-from-home so I kind of have to keep track of what days I need to go to work. I've been enjoying the… Continue reading Caprese Turkey & Biscuits
Parmesan Chicken Couscous
If you go to the store right now, chances are you won't find a lot of staples.No spaghetti. No white bread. No name-brand cereal.After experiencing the lack of what you need, you'll turn to replacements. Maybe you grab that weird, green spinach spaghetti instead of the normal kind. You might reach for an overpriced loaf… Continue reading Parmesan Chicken Couscous
Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
For Christmas, my dad bought me this countertop hydroponic garden that can grow herbs and small vegetables. Knowing me, I thought nothing would grow. I've been known to kill just about every plant I've ever owned. Even a fern. A FERN. Something that's virtually unkillable. So, I followed the instructions and took it with a… Continue reading Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
