Let's take a break from the holiday baking, shall we? In the midst of my cookie fervor, I've been making simple dinners that will last. I'm talking casseroles, stews, and big batches of meat to make for sandwiches. This casserole is the quintessential "make in a pinch" dinner. It's a retro classic that has stood… Continue reading Classic King Ranch Casserole

Pineapple Chicken
Effortless. Simple. Quick. Those three words are what I look for in most of my meal-prepping recipes. Ain't nobody got time to be using three pans and 27 ingredients when you're trying to make three dinners in one night. I need the most uncomplicated ones I can find. That's why I tend to lean toward… Continue reading Pineapple Chicken
White Lasagna Soup

I'm trying to get this coffee to perk me up now so I can go on about my day with a clear mind. Here's hoping… Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
Here we are again. The end of the work week. It's going to take everything in my power to not "treat myself" today. For the last several Fridays, after particularly rigorous work weeks, I've ordered Postmates for dinner at work. It's a nasty (and expensive) little habit, but it was like a trophy for me… Continue reading Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
