I had my first pierogi just a few years ago. Pierogi aren't really a big food item where I grew up. I had no clue what they were until I had my first bite a few years ago. To say I was smitten at first bite would be an understatement. I was utterly in love.… Continue reading Pierogi Soup

Shortcut Spring Roll Salad
I've meal-prepped on Sundays for as long as I can remember. I started doing it as a way to get all my potential blog posts done in one sitting. That evolved into getting all my blog posts AND videos done in one sitting. It also helps that I get my weekly cooking done in one… Continue reading Shortcut Spring Roll Salad
Marinated Chopped Veggie Salad
I've been on a salad kick lately. We're not even in the hottest part of the summer, but I want cool meals for EVERY meal. I made two mega salads to get me through the week, but honestly, it will probably be enough to feed an army. This salad is one that you should bring… Continue reading Marinated Chopped Veggie Salad
Chicken & Stuffing Dumpling Soup
Ok y'all, this recipe is a whacky one, so stay with me. I felt like some chicken and dumplings the other day but I wanted to make them *different*. I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to make the soup unique until I spotted this recipe in a cookbook I picked up in Texas a… Continue reading Chicken & Stuffing Dumpling Soup
Peanut Chicken and Rice Salad
Spring 2023 in Oklahoma is unlike any other I've experienced. Everything is behind. Daffodils are just now starting to bloom in my area when they should be close to dying by now. I've only spotted a few violets here and there when they should be everywhere. The redbud trees are just now blooming when they… Continue reading Peanut Chicken and Rice Salad
Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Starbucks has really upped its game when it comes to selling food. I remember when Starbucks only sold coffee. No food, no snacks. Nada. Now, you can almost eat every meal at Starbucks (if you have the dough). I've become a fan of their quinoa salad and spinach-feta-and-egg-white wraps. But a few years ago, it… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Chipotle Pork and Sweet Potato Stew
A miniature staycation can be just what the doctor ordered. Burnt out? Overwhelmed by housework? Stressed to the max? People aggravating you at work? I recommend taking an extended weekend. It will help you catch back up on housework and give you a nice reprieve from your job. I worked the Christmas and New Year's… Continue reading Chipotle Pork and Sweet Potato Stew
Oktoberfest Stew
Soup season is here, and it's here to stay for at least the next 5 months. I'm a big fan of soups, stews and everything in between (I'm looking at you, chowders). Eating a bowl of hot soup for dinner with a slice of bread--there's nothing like it. NOTHING LIKE IT. I've already made a… Continue reading Oktoberfest Stew
BBQ Turkey Subs with Banana Pepper Slaw
Living in the country is both a blessing and a curse. It's nice being able to do whatever you want with your land when you want. The bad part is, everyone else does that, too. My neighbors (not direct neighbors, but someone along our road) have been popping off fireworks since June 13th. JUNE 13TH.… Continue reading BBQ Turkey Subs with Banana Pepper Slaw
Teriyaki Cauliflower Bowl
Eating more veggies can be hard. There's a tendency among Americans to reach for protein and carb-heavy meals. I'm, no doubt, a person who does this. I always try to have my protein (meat), my starch, and my veggie with lunch and dinner (all bets are off for breakfast). I still stick to this when… Continue reading Teriyaki Cauliflower Bowl
