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

Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Let's face it: this Memorial Day weekend will not be like any we've had before. Sure, it's the first signal of summer, but kids have been home for the last 3 months. Summer seems like it started in March this year because of the pandemic. Not only that, but you can rule out any large… Continue reading Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Pork has gotten so inexpensive lately. I bought a nearly 3-pound pack of sirloin pork chops the other day for $4.50. Name another meat you can get for that price. Go ahead. I'll wait. Beef is about that for 1 pound, more if you're getting better cuts. I can't hardly find chicken breast for less… Continue reading BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Lady Bird Johnson’s Barbecue Chicken
I've been bed-and-couch bound for the last 36 hours. A cold has hit me like a ton of bricks and I've been doing everything in my power to feel like a normal human being again. You know those jokes about how men are babies when they're sick? That's not just men. It's me. I turn… Continue reading Lady Bird Johnson’s Barbecue Chicken
BBQ Chicken Spaghetti Squash Boats
I've spent the last two days trying to readjust my sleep schedule. I usually work nights (11pm-7:30am), but for the next few days I'll be working in the land of the living. It's been more than a year since I've been to work when normal people are there. I'm so used to spending mass amounts… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Spaghetti Squash Boats
Memphis Coleslaw
Cole slaw is one of those things you either love or hate. If you bring it to a cookout or party, sometimes it will all go fast...or other times people will hardly touch it. When given the choice between slaw or pasta or potato salad, people usually choose the starchier side dish. I've always liked… Continue reading Memphis Coleslaw
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
I whipped out my slow cooker the other day. It had been far too long since I last used my favorite kitchen device. Far too long. I got a cutie Pioneer Woman slow cooker for Christmas, and probably have only used it a half a dozen times since then. I can't give you a good… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
Roasted Broccoli Salad
The times are changing. Although it's still 90 degrees here in Oklahoma, fall is right behind that warm southernly breeze. My fall decor has already made its appearance. The pumpkin spice candles are burning. I'm digging jackets out of my closet. I'm eating hotter foods and thinking about soups, y'all. Soups. Summer will be out… Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Salad
BBQ Chicken Bowls
There's been radio silence on my end the past few days because I haven't been able to move. Literally. Not because I'm injured, or in pain---no. It's because our air conditioner went out late Saturday night, and Rob and I have spent the last two hottest days of the year (so far) with just the… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Bowls
BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Layered Enchiladas
Are you noticing a trend lately? A spicy, full-flavored trend? I've been on a Mexican food kick here for the past few weeks. I can't explain it. I guess it was inspired by the Cinco de Mayo holiday last weekend, and it's just continued from there. Most of the Mexican food I make is a… Continue reading BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Layered Enchiladas
