Boy howdy is my freezer packed full right now. It's times like these that I wish I had a secondary freezer to stock meat and meals. Alas, all I have is a small, overly-stuffed freezer right now. I'm pretty sure all of the food is blocking the freezing cold air from moving through, too. Oh… Continue reading Chicken & Bean Freezer Burritos

Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
There was a big Hatch green chile event going on at Crest yesterday. There were at least three huge grills outside and crews were busy roasting the green chiles over an open flame. I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
I had to google what the difference between chiles and peppers yesterday. And guess what? I still don't understand what separates them from each other. It has something to do with the chemical makeup of what makes them spicy or not, but that's all weird scientific semantics to me. Peppers, chiles, whatever you call them---they… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
Extra Spicy Chicken Enchilada Bowls
When you knock out one of the four tastes, you’ve really got to get to work making sure the other three really knock it out of the ballpark. The lack of sweetness in my life really isn’t that bad, since I’m not too keen on desserts or fruit. The problem I run into, though, is… Continue reading Extra Spicy Chicken Enchilada Bowls
Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Tacos and I have a long, sordid history with each other. Many moons ago, when eating at a Mexican restaurant, I would always order enchiladas. If not enchiladas, than fajitas. If not fajitas, then quesadillas. You get the gist. Tacos were very far down on my list of things to eat. I used to cringe… Continue reading Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Green Chile Breakfast Burritos
Wichita Falls, Texas, isn't on a lot of people's radars. It's never in any Buzzfeed list. You have to preface it with, "just a couple hours north of Dallas" when people ask you where you're from. Even the biggest names to ever come out of Wichita Falls (see: band Bowling for Soup) refuse to admit… Continue reading Green Chile Breakfast Burritos
Chicken & Black Eyed Pea Chili
New Year's Day wouldn't be a holiday without these four things: Pork Greens Cornbread Black eyed peas Ever since I was little, my mom has been making pork & black eyed peas for the holiday. It's a tradition held by many kitchens across the country, and most importantly the south. There's something inherently nostalgic about… Continue reading Chicken & Black Eyed Pea Chili
Chile Relleno Soup
The lack of soups in my kitchen has been surprising. It's probably because we haven't had a bitterly freezing cold snap yet this fall/winter. When it's not cold, I'm not a fan of soups. I'm glad I made this soup this weekend, though. I had my final (!!!) deep cleaning on my teeth yesterday and… Continue reading Chile Relleno Soup
BBQ Chicken & Cheesy Chile Grits
One of the things I love most about my job is travelling to small town America. There are a lot of those tiny podunk towns in Oklahoma that reek of character and history. I love it. Driving all over the state is definitely a big part of my job, but storm chasing plays an even… Continue reading BBQ Chicken & Cheesy Chile Grits
Chicken Chile Relleno Casserole
We've made a wedding website, y'all! We also just finished up our registry yesterday... This whole thing is really starting to get official! We're only 167 days out from the big day. I've still got a ton of planning left to do, including the most important part of our wedding day: what food will be served. We've… Continue reading Chicken Chile Relleno Casserole
