You've heard of Chili Mac before, but what about TACO MAC??? Honestly, it's pretty much the same thing but with a slightly different flavor profile. You use taco seasoning (which usually DOES include chili powder) and that's what makes this Mac different from Chili Mac. If you really want to make things more taco-fied, before… Continue reading Taco Mac

Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
Pineapple Casserole
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
Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Oh boy. You really underestimate how much your oven heats up your home until you are baking all day. I had to cook a bunch of recipes this weekend in the oven and got hot. I mean, really hot. I had to fan myself down a few times while wiping away little beads of sweat… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
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

I find myself looking out the window a lot more often when I'm trying to work… Continue reading Savory Breakfast Bowl
Caprese Chicken & Rice
I did it! I scheduled a vaccine appointment! Oklahoma opened up our state to phase 3 (which is most Oklahomans, like essential workers) yesterday and as luck would have it, I was signing up on the vaccine portal *right* when they announced phase 3. I managed to snag a highly coveted appointment for tomorrow. I'm… Continue reading Caprese Chicken & Rice
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
Verde Chicken Quesadillas
I've been on a health & wellness journey the last two weeks trying to lose weight and eat healthier. You may be thinking, how can eating cheesy quesadillas possibly be "eating healthier"?? It can be, I swear! If you rethink your choices and options for ingredients, you'd be surprised at what you can do. I'm… Continue reading Verde Chicken Quesadillas
Broccoli Noodle Soup
People swear by certain soups in their life. I've heard rave reviews over Panera's broccoli-cheese soup. Family members are big fans of Campbell's Bean and Bacon soup. A lot of people can't get enough of Wendy's chili. I prefer to make all of my soups homemade. Who doesn't love a big pot boiling on the… Continue reading Broccoli Noodle Soup
