Name your favorite thing on a charcuterie board. It's probably not the nuts, fruit, or small pots of jams and honey. More than likely, your favorite thing on a charcuterie board is the meats and cheeses. From salami to prosciutto to sliced turkey, charcuterie meats are the best of the deli. The cheeses are usually… Continue reading Charcuterie Bread

Cheesy Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
There's nothing like a good ol' breakfast casserole to kickstart your day. Breakfast casseroles are usually relegated to the holidays, but I'm not one to stick with tradition. I love to make them on Sundays and then eat the leftovers throughout the rest of the week. You end up getting plenty of hearty breakfast to… Continue reading Cheesy Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad
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
Greek Vegetable Flatbread
Since I started working a normal human shift (7am-4pm), I've been leaning heavily on cold lunches to get me through the day. I've never really taken a lunch break before. When I worked nightside (2pm-11pm) I would run to the break room, heat up my dinner, then go back to my desk to eat. Now… Continue reading Greek Vegetable Flatbread
Quesadilla Chicken Salad
I've never been one of those people who loved big chain restaurants. Applebee's was the place to go when I was in college (probably for their cheap, potent mixed drinks during Happy Hour) and yet it was a place I would never step foot in. Cheddar's opened when I was in junior high in my… Continue reading Quesadilla Chicken Salad

It's the ultimate comfort food and the best thing to turn a bad day into a good one. Whenever I'm feeling down, I'll turn to something with meatballs.… Continue reading Meatball Chili Mac
Fully Loaded Cucumber Sandwich
I should dedicate this week to one of my oldest and best friends, Bethany, I suppose. Yesterday I shared our affinity for crab rangoon. Today, I'm sharing our mutual love and adoration for the Italian BMT. When we were in high school, there were very few options for off-campus lunch in our small town of… Continue reading Fully Loaded Cucumber Sandwich
Crab Rangoon Casserole
There's one food I'll always cherish, no matter what: crab rangoon. I remember my best friend and I loading up on crab rangoon at our favorite Chinese restaurant when we were in high school and college. It was always our favorite part of the buffet, and we would savor every last creamy bite. My best… Continue reading Crab Rangoon Casserole
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Is it just trendy, or is this the new way to make wraps/quesadillas/sandwiches? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the "triangle" method. You've got a large tortilla and you make one slit in it midway. Then, you fill up each quarter with ingredients. Fold it up along the slight until… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Fiesta Ranch Dip
If you've got plans for the Super Bowl, make sure you make room for this dip. I'm a dip fanatic and love trying new dips. I spotted this simple recipe online and decided to test it out before the big game. Boy, was I in for a treat. There are only four ingredients in this… Continue reading Fiesta Ranch Dip
