Love it or hate it, green bean casserole is a polarizing side dish. I'm in the "love it" camp. I love everything about it: the creamy mushroom soup, the salty canned green beans, the crispy French-fried onions. I get why green bean casserole gets a bad rap, though. It is a bunch of less-than-stellar ingredients… Continue reading Fully Loaded Cheesy Green Bean Casserole

Greek Chicken and White Bean Salad
Anyone else hoarding cans of beans right now? It's the perfect time of year to do that. You need beans for just about any soup you want to make, so why not have a stash in your pantry during the cooler months? I'm finally starting to thin my stash out a bit, but I plan… Continue reading Greek Chicken and White Bean Salad
Texas Bean Dip
'Tis the season for endless holiday parties and mass amounts of dips. By dips, I mean chips and dip of course.

My aunt's got a superb… Continue reading Texas Bean Dip

I've eaten at pretty much every restaurant that Oklahoma City has to offer, except the… Continue reading Harissa Roasted Chicken & Veggies
White Bean & Turkey Sausage Gnocchi
You guys. You won't believe this. I got sick. Again. That's three different illnesses in two weeks. How is that even possible?! What curse did I stumble into? I've got a cough, congestion, and that's about it. I don't feel bad and I've got no fever so I guess it's just a regular cold? I'm… Continue reading White Bean & Turkey Sausage Gnocchi
Chicken Tortilla Bake
I made this recipe last week before the unbearable heat struck Oklahoma. I mean, it was still hot, but it wasn't as hot as it is now. I like the warmth and homeyness of casseroles. You can credit my growing up in a Southern household to my unabashed love for the baking dish dinner. They're simple,… Continue reading Chicken Tortilla Bake
