If you're going to a Tex Mex restaurant in Oklahoma or Texas, what do you order? Most will say fajitas. Tacos. Or the essential Tex Mex favorite: enchiladas. I've had the same sour cream chicken enchilada recipe for years. It's a very anglonized version; it came from a chicken cookbook my mom used to have… Continue reading Jalapeno Chicken Enchiladas

Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Since I work in TV news, I'm constantly busy. I barely have time to take a dinner break at nights. Most nights I have to force myself away from my computer. I'm constantly afraid someone is going to need me or major breaking news will happen in the 3 minutes it takes to walk to… Continue reading Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Chicken Bacon Ranch & Broccoli Casserole
It gets harder and harder to think of new keto meals when you're on this diet and write for a food blog. You don't want to do the same thing everyone else does. Those same recipes that pop up time and time again on Pinterest. The same cheese & meat mixture for dinner. The heavy… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch & Broccoli Casserole
Texas Bean Dip
'Tis the season for endless holiday parties and mass amounts of dips. By dips, I mean chips and dip of course. You can't have a party, a shindig, a hootenanny, or a small gathering with out the perennial favorite appetizer. I like to vary the dips I make and bring. My aunt's got a superb… Continue reading Texas Bean Dip
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
Enchilada Meatballs
I've made just about every meatball you could think of on the planet. Regular Italian meatballs. Buffalo chicken meatballs. Tamale meatballs. Taco meatballs. Making dinners into meatball form is like second nature to me by now. Everyone loves a little meatball, so why not take it to the limit? They're easy to make, easy to… Continue reading Enchilada Meatballs
Texas Fudge
Have you ever heard of fudge made with Velveeta? I'm not talking about a savory, cheesy fudge. I'm talking about a chocolate fudge that gets its creaminess from Velveeta cheese. That's a weird recipe I stumbled upon in an old church cookbook a few years ago. I googled it and apparently making fudge with Velveeta… Continue reading Texas Fudge
Pesto Caprese Chicken Casserole
It's been awhile since I've made a casserole. Though they're one of my favorite ways to make meals, casseroles don't really scream keto. All the recipes in old-timey cookbooks call for tons of carbs--like potatoes---or oodles of noodles. Finding a good keto casserole can truly become a chore. I have been able to make up… Continue reading Pesto Caprese Chicken Casserole
Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Zucchini
I've been up since about 2:45 this morning. What have I been doing in the 3ish hours I've been up? Freaking myself out by watching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. I remember watching this show as a kid with my mom and scaring myself to death. Once, there was an episode about a man spontaneously… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Zucchini
Pizza Hassleback Zucchini
I woke up to the sun beaming outside of my window for the first time in, well, forever. I've disrupted my normal schedule to help fill in working a normal person shift for the first part of this week. It's a nice change of pace. Being awake during the day is---different. I've gotten so used… Continue reading Pizza Hassleback Zucchini
