Seafood is an extravagant purchase where I come from. We're only about 1,000 miles away from the closest coast and good, cheap seafood is really hard to come by. My main seafood purchases are shrimp and catfish, and I do that sparingly. I'm talking a once-a-month meal. So imagine my surprise when my local grocer… Continue reading Shrimp & Scallop Divan
I own a lot of kitchen utensils and gadgets. I've got a KitchenAid mixer. A food processor. A sushi bazooka. A griddle. An immersion blender, hand mixer, pizelle maker, egg roll maker, and breakfast sandwich maker. But you know one thing that I don't have? A whisk. Yep. Something as simplistic and necessary as a… Continue reading Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

I've carried on the tradition since moving out, but I'm not sure Rob loves the breakfast casserole nearly as much as I do. This year will… Continue reading Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomato Frittata

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
The mission, if you choose to accept, is to make something different for breakfast this week. Breakfast is often the most overlooked meal of the day. I spent years skipping breakfast and starving to death before lunch. I've since changed up my routine and can't make it in the mornings if I don't eat something.… Continue reading Green Chile Breakfast Casserole
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
