The search is on for different ways to make sandwiches and burgers into wraps. Who needs another boring lettuce-wrapped burger recipe? Not me. I've been finding different ways to use lettuce---and different types of lettuce to use---for the better part of a year now. I've had some hits (shredded Mexican beef wraps) and some misses… Continue reading Indian Chicken Wraps
Sundays are probably my least favorite days of the week. Since I work overnights, I basically get a half day on Sundays. I'll typically wake up around 3 am, and then be back in bed at 11 in the morning. I get all my cooking done on Sundays, but that's about the only "fun" thing… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Salad
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

Mesquite smoke-flavored chicken lives on my tastebuds. I've branched outside of good ol' Texas barbecue many times before. I've had Memphis-dry rubbed ribs… Continue reading Pulled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce

I'm trying to make a snack for our work Super Bowl party on Friday but messed up the first version, baked… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Salad
Today, I snapped. I ate three cookies. One of my coworkers brought in some homemade sugar cookies with icing and I went in for the usual "smell but don't touch" trick and failed. After eating one--I was in heaven. Two more cookies later and I felt bad about my poor choices in life. I won't… Continue reading Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Skewering things and cooking them is one of my favorite ways to make dinner. It's easy to put together and takes no time to cook. The best kebabs always have a protein (I've made fish, turkey, pork and chicken before) and plenty of veggies that go together. I like to skewer zucchini and onions; those… Continue reading Chicken, Bacon & Mushroom Kebabs
