I traveled back in time this weekend. I went to a place that I hadn't been to in more than a decade. Tucked away in a small corner of North Texas is an area that's near and dear to my heart: Doans, Texas. It's just a few miles north of the big "city" of Vernon… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad

Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
It was just a few years ago that I realized you could eat corn raw. I always thought you had to cook it to make it tasty and tender. Wrong. I now add raw corn, straight off the cob, to salads in the summer. It's really the most refreshing thing when it's a thousand degrees… Continue reading Hot & Spicy Creamed Corn
Easy Cheddar Bay Biscuits
I have discovered what could be the best garlic cheddar biscuit out there. Not only that, it's also the easiest garlic cheddar biscuit to make. It only takes a handful of ingredients and need ZERO baking skills to accomplish. Behold, the greatest copycat Red Lobster biscuit around. Got a hankering you can't quell? Make these… Continue reading Easy Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Chicken & Apple Sandwiches with Basil Mayo
We've been eating a lot of sandwiches lately. One of my favorite things to do is get some Red Bag Chicken from Aldi (if you know, you know), a brioche bun and some pickles and make knock-off Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. I'm also quite fond of a regular turkey, cheese and mustard sandwich. I'll live on tuna… Continue reading Chicken & Apple Sandwiches with Basil Mayo
BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
When you're broke, packing, and starving where do you turn? POTATOES. Potatoes fill the void like no other. They're cheap, filling, and extremely versatile. We've been munching on potatoes for the last several weeks while we scrounge every penny to buy our first house. Tired of mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and fries? There is another… Continue reading BBQ Cheeseburger Stuffed Potatoes
Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Hot summer days call for a sandwich lunch and a tall glass of lemonade. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato, turkey clubs, tuna or egg salad...any sandwich your heart desires. I could eat a sandwich every day from June through August. Another classic summertime sandwich: pimiento cheese. You can find the orangey cheese spread in multiple places at… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Pimiento Cheese & Ham Breakfast Sandwich
I love how my grocery store branches out to cater to people with different diets. There's a gluten-free section and a vegan section. My grocery store constantly stocks the shelves with local and small-business-made items. I can find different types of Asian noodles there with ease. But my favorite find so far is probably the… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese & Ham Breakfast Sandwich
Extra Cheesy Cauliflower Rice
At any given moment, you can find at least 3 different types of cheese in my fridge. Right now I've got string cheese (a go-to midday snack), gouda babybels, smoked provolone slices (perfect for sandwiches or quick wraps) and a block of fontina. Never mind the fact that I also have several half-empty bags of… Continue reading Extra Cheesy Cauliflower Rice
Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Anyone else have the slightest obsession with cheese? I do. And it's not just a slight obsession, either. I'm talking a full-blown, grade-A love affair with cheese. I think that's why I've been able to stick to this Keto diet so well. I didn't have to give up my torrid affair with cheese. Any diet… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Green Chile Chicken Spaghetti
I don't know if it's just a Southern thing or not, so help me out guys. Have you ever heard of chicken spaghetti? I'm not talking about chicken in with spaghetti sauce instead of meat or sausage. I'm talking a big baking dish full of spaghetti noodles, shredded or chopped chicken, and a metric ton… Continue reading Green Chile Chicken Spaghetti
