If you start to poke around my kitchen, you'll notice an abundance of canned and jarred sauces. I love to keep tomato, alfredo, and curry sauces on hand. There's so much you can do with them. If you need to whip up a dinner real quick, just grab a jar, some protein, and either rice… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits

Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
You ever open up your pantry and stand there for what seems like an eternity trying to decide what to make for dinner? I do. It happens to me more often than not. I've constantly got those gears churning in my head in the kitchen, trying to decide what to make with the haphazard ingredients… Continue reading Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
Hawaiian Sheet Pan Meal
After more than a week of not leaving the house, the walls start to feel like they're closing in on you. Don't get me wrong, I love social distancing. Our apartment is cozy and we've got everything we need right here. I'm a homebody and someone who secretly rejoices when plans get canceled. However, I… Continue reading Hawaiian Sheet Pan Meal
Fried Cabbage Slaw
It's one of my favorite vegetables: cabbage.I like it in just about everything. Raw in coleslaw or on top of tacos, cooked down with corned beef or fried with bacon---cabbage is a star in my world.Not to mention the fact that it's cheap. I bought a head of cabbage for 52 cents at the grocery… Continue reading Fried Cabbage Slaw
Creamy Meatball Soup
I can count on one hand the "winter-like" days we've had so far this year. It's been relatively mild compared to past winters. We've lucked out and had many weekends of 60 degree weather. The grass has even started to turn green here; mistakenly thinking it's spring already. Once the Bradford pear trees that line… Continue reading Creamy Meatball Soup
Fall Harvest Bowls
There's a lot of foods out there that have fallen out of favor with this generation. It's not just a millennial problem, either. Gen Xers just don't cook like boomers did. If people are actually getting into the kitchen, they're meal prepping the same Pinterest meals over and over again. Not only have certain meals… Continue reading Fall Harvest Bowls
Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken & Vegetables
What is it with sheet pans? All of mine look like someone threw them into an incinerator, pulled them out, and threw them in again for good measure. I cannot keep a sheet pan in good working condition. Even the most silver, shiny Rachael Ray one I have turned into a dark black rectangle after… Continue reading Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken & Vegetables
Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread
My first experience with Thai food wasn't that long ago. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to Thai cuisine. There was a Thai restaurant in my hometown, but it was vastly different than the Thai food I've had since then. I'm thinking that place just called itself Thai, but was more like a dumbed-down… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread
Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
Turkey Tortellini Tetrazzini
Merry Christmas, y'all! I hope you're having a great Christmas day. Rob and I both had to work, but we've made the most of it. It definitely helps that are coworkers are like a second family to us, too. Working in television on a holidy is both mind-numbingly boring and crazed at the same time.… Continue reading Turkey Tortellini Tetrazzini
