You ever see a recipe in a cookbook and think, that can't be right? The ingredients don't add up, or the baking time seems off, or the description seems implausible? That's what happened to me when I first spotted Pineapple Casserole. The title makes it seem innocent. Pineapple Casserole. What could be weird about that?… Continue reading Pineapple Casserole

Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Over the last several weeks, I've been revisiting some classic cookbooks in my collection. I've got a massive collection so it's nearly impossible to go through them all, but I like to peruse a few at a time to spark some inspriation for my weekly menus. I've found quite a few good recipes from a… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
You ever have these grandiose ideas for dinner, sit down to cook it up, and then it turns out nothing like you had envisioned? That was me cooking this tamale pie recipe. The first problem: I didn't make enough of the "tamale" mixture to cover the top. My second problem: I didn't season my "tamale"… Continue reading Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
King Ranch Chicken Soup
Ok y'all, I think this is it. I think this is my last soup recipe of the year. I've made a TON of soup recipes this year because of how cold it's been. It's officially the first meteorological day of Spring (spring equinox is in 20 days) and it's March 1st, so I think that… Continue reading King Ranch Chicken Soup
Chicken Paprikash Casserole
I'm sure most of your Thanksgiving leftovers are gone by now, but if you managed to freeze some turkey this recipe is for you. The weekend before Thanksgiving I meal prepped just one casserole to eat for lunch at work. I didn't want to take up to much space in my fridge and I knew… Continue reading Chicken Paprikash Casserole
Chicken Taco Casserole
I cannot get enough of this vintage cookbook I rediscovered in my collection. It's a compilation of recipes from women who attended the First United Methodist Church in Burkburnett, Texas in 1977. I started out cooking a knockoff KFC chicken recipe from the book for TikTok. After that, I was hooked. There are so many… Continue reading Chicken Taco Casserole
Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Woo. My whole life is packed up into dozens of boxes right now. I'm eating breakfast off of a paper plate and sipping coffee out of one of the two coffee cups I left out. We don't technically move until August 1st, but my husband and I have spent the last 5 days packing so… Continue reading Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake
Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits
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
Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
There are a lot of noises coming from inside and outside of my apartment. It's a busy morning in the city. Workers are hard at work building new patios on my neighboring apartments. A table saw buzzes in the distance. Bolo, my frisky Siamese cat, is sitting by the window cleaning his foot. The slurping… Continue reading Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
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
