It never hurts to be adventurous. When you go to your favorite restaurant, do you stick with your normal order? If you do, I dare you to branch out and order something new the next time you go. Look, I know what it's like to be a creature of habit. I adhere to a strict… Continue reading Pesto Chicken with Corn & White Bean Salsa

Honey-Lime Chicken & Sweet Potato Stir Fry
We've officially blown past the "enjoyable" part of summer and plowed right into the "miserable, please make it stop" part. A heat wave has set up shop over the state and shows NO signs of letting up. It's gross, humid, and relentlessly hot outside. I'm trying my best not to cook anything in this house… Continue reading Honey-Lime Chicken & Sweet Potato Stir Fry
French Onion Chicken Casserole
This year I planted a vegetable garden for the first time. I bought a simple, self-watering garden box from Costco and then loaded up on seeds and soil. I even bought plant food just in case I needed it! Everything was chugging along fine for a few weeks. My seeds slowly grew into sprouts (what… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Casserole
Pesto Chicken Spaghetti
It's that time of year when I want to be outside for every waking moment. The temperatures are incredible. The sun is magnificent. The birds are chriping and singing and building nests. The tulips and irises are blooming and creating a spectacular blanket of color across the Oklahoma countryside. The breeze---well, I could do without… Continue reading Pesto Chicken Spaghetti
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
Greek Tortellini Salad
Is there a pasta shortage I don't know about? I know there are supply chain issues on just about everything right now, but pasta?! When I live in the farm belt of the Midwest??? Seriously, my pasta aisle has been wiped clean for about a month now. The only thing that remains is the boxed… Continue reading Greek Tortellini Salad
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
Hot Honey Chicken Salad
I'm trying to get in this mindset that we're living in a much warmer season than it actually is. I'm dreaming of summer, cicadas chirping, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, and long sunsets. Instead, what I'm actually living in is barren trees, ice crystals on my windshield, and a churning heater. I'm sick… Continue reading Hot Honey Chicken Salad
Betty’s Chicken Salad
Before you ask, no, I don't know who Betty is. I'm one of those people who writes down recipes every chance I can get. I've been doing it for almost 10 years, and I've got recipes coming out of my ears. Most of the recipes I've written down came from my mom, grandma, or Aunt.… Continue reading Betty’s Chicken Salad
Greek Turkey Bowls
I'm a seasoning hoarder. I love to pick up new spice blends whenever I can. That means my spice cabinet is overstuffed and overflowing with seasoning. Slap Ya Mama is one of my favorites. I also love Trader Joe's Green Goddess seasoning. A regular Italian seasoning is fine, too. But one of my absolute FAVORITES… Continue reading Greek Turkey Bowls
