Some of the best green beans you'll ever taste in your life are the ones that are pan-fried with bacon. It's a classic green bean recipe that most everyone knows. Bacon, onion, and green beans all come together for the perfect side dish. But what if you could make a version of that...but better? That's… Continue reading Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes

Barbecue Black-Eyed Peas
If you're an avid cookbook collector like me, you will run across a recipe that will make you do a double take every so often. Whether that's a peanut butter and onion sandwich (a recipe I have actually spotted in a vintage cookbook) or a baked chicken recipe that is named after a First Lady,… Continue reading Barbecue Black-Eyed Peas
Skillet Ham Pot Pie
This is it. This is my final recipe with that petite ham I bought a month ago. I truly used that ham as efficiently as possible. A handful of dinner recipes, a side dish, and sliced up for sandwiches. It was probably the best $18 I've ever spent at the grocery store. I'm pretty hammed… Continue reading Skillet Ham Pot Pie
Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
I woke up this morning in a tizzy. Where am I? What day is it? And most importantly... Why is it so cold in here?? I must've been dreaming real good to not know I was asleep in my bed like usual. As for what day it is, does anybody truly know anymore? And the… Continue reading Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
Frico Chicken with Kale & Mushrooms
You know those little baked cheese snacks that are all cheese and nothing else? This recipe is kind of like that. The breading on the chicken is just cheese, that's it. Not flour, no breadcrumbs, no egg. Just freshly grated parmesan and nothing more. The key to this recipe is getting your pan hot enough… Continue reading Frico Chicken with Kale & Mushrooms
German Sausage Skillet Dinner
If there's one thing I miss on this planet, it's my Uncle Curtis' German sausage. He used to make the coiled, grey, pepper-flecked sausage all the time. My grandma would fry it up and serve it with mustard for breakfast. It sort of looked like knockwurst; it was a light grey color with a mild… Continue reading German Sausage Skillet Dinner
Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara
Happy New Year's Eve! I'll be spending the evening at work and then will probably ring in the new year in bed, asleep. Exciting, I know. I've just never been the NYE-type person. I could honesty care less about the New Year. One more circulation around the sun? Great. I don't need a party to… Continue reading Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara
Sausage & Apple Hash
The fall and winter vibes are hitting hard in my house. I feel like I'm constantly chopping apples, sipping pumpkin spice coffee, or washing my hands with peppermint-scented soap. I love this time of year. It's both Christmasy and Fall-y and beautiful and cool. I wish every month of the year could be like this.… Continue reading Sausage & Apple Hash
Easy Skillet Chili Mac
I'm wiped, and it's only Tuesday. I pumped up the incline on my treadmill this morning and sweat BUCKETS. Literally buckets were pouring off of me. I don't know why I really wanted to push it to the max this morning---maybe because I'm working all week? Literally. I work 7 days this week! It's okay… Continue reading Easy Skillet Chili Mac
Garlic Parmesan Kielbasa Skillet
Can I just live outside right now? Seriously. If I could haul my work computer outside I would do it today. It's absolutely breathtaking outside. It's 60 degrees and overcast. That's my idea of perfect weather. Unfortunately, I'll be trapped behind a computer screen all day at work. There might be a chance or two… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Kielbasa Skillet
