If you're one of those people who like to have a plan for everything, then you're my kind of person. I like structure. I like planning for the worst-case scenario. I like routine. If anything unexpected comes up, I can lose my cool really quick. I meal prep lunches for the work week. If I… Continue reading Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos

Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Meal prepping will never go out of style. Mark my words. I've been meal-prepping for more than 5 years now. I cook all of my lunches and dinners for the week on Sundays and then eat them throughout the workweek. Sometimes I'll prep a breakfast to eat throughout the week, like overnight oats or freezer… Continue reading Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
New Year, New You, am I right? I hate that phrase. I LOATHE it. It's the same catchphrase that gets used incessantly over the holiday break and it drives me nuts. Sometimes, though, it makes sense. A New Year means a fresh start. A new beginning. The slate is wiped clean and you have 365… Continue reading Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Baked Cracker Sandwiches
A few years ago, I went to a coworker's house party and brought little baked sandwiches made out of Hawaiian rolls. Everyone was amazed. People were begging me for the recipe. The simple little ham and cheese sliders were a massive hit. I couldn't believe it. The recipe was one of the most simple I… Continue reading Baked Cracker Sandwiches
Mini Chicago Deep Dish Pizzas
There's a Christmas Eve tradition in my household: no meals on Christmas Eve. Instead, my family has a "snack night" where hors d'oeuvres are plentiful. Crockpot weenies, pinwheels, fancy cheeses and crackers are typically set out for people to snack on throughout the night. Sometimes, we make specialty cocktails to serve alongside the snacks. This… Continue reading Mini Chicago Deep Dish Pizzas
Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
If I ever ran for public office, I'd run on one position and one position only: make breakfast casserole a year-round thing. Why is it that we only eat it around the holidays? That's a travesty, in my opinion. I make breakfast casseroles throughout the year. I like them because my husband and I can… Continue reading Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Blackened Chicken Sandwich
Dishes are piled up in the sink. Bowls are covered with hardened chocolate. Wrappers and boxes of baker's chocolate are piled up in the trashcan. It's holiday baking season and it's never been busier in my kitchen I spent the entire weekend melting chocolate and rolling peanut butter balls and tap, tap, tapping sprinkles onto… Continue reading Blackened Chicken Sandwich
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Pasta
I'm pooped. My husband and I spent the whole weekend Christmas shopping and it was a blitz from start to finish. I managed to cook most of the day on Sunday but I felt like napping the whole day. I'm exhausted. For my dinners this week, I made my meal prepping easy by cooking a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Pasta
Fully Loaded Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
Love it or hate it, green bean casserole is a polarizing side dish. I'm in the "love it" camp. I love everything about it: the creamy mushroom soup, the salty canned green beans, the crispy French-fried onions. I get why green bean casserole gets a bad rap, though. It is a bunch of less-than-stellar ingredients… Continue reading Fully Loaded Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
Armadillo Eggs
Oh boy, this recipe is a doozy. I spotted it in my St. Paul Lutheran Church cookbook from Vernon, Texas and knew I had to make it. "Armadillo eggs" are stuffed jalapenos wrapped in a sausage-cheese mixture. This recipe also called for rolling them in Shake n' Bake mix, which I did. This is a… Continue reading Armadillo Eggs
