My all-time favorite appetizer is probably stuffed mushrooms. Crab-stuffed mushrooms were one of the first recipes I ever blogged about. My aunt had made them for a Christmas Eve party one year and I fell in love. Those little fungi stuffed with crab and cheese were delicious. Absolutely delightful. A bite of heaven. Too bad… Continue reading Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms

Boudin Bites
Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are two great snack nights in my house. Chips, crackers, dips, cheeses and tiny bites rule the world on those two holidays. I love making new appetizers and snacks for those two nights. Last year I made some pizza sausage balls and baked ham and cheese crackers. This year,… Continue reading Boudin Bites
Candy Bar Fudge
The utensil drawer in my kitchen was out of control. There was so much stuff packed in there I forgot what utensils I actually owned. I've only been able to open it about halfway through the last few months because a potato masher was sticking up too far at the end of the drawer, making… Continue reading Candy Bar Fudge
Apple Cider Braised Pork
Pork shoulder might be one of the most economical proteins out there. It's incredibly cheap per pound. A 3-4 pound pork shoulder can also last you a while. On top of that, you can use the leftovers for a wide array of dishes. You can make burrito bowls, barbecue sandwiches, casseroles--you name it. This pork… Continue reading Apple Cider Braised Pork
Pumpkin Tres Leches Cake
Of all the cakes out there, tres leches cake is probably my favorite. If a Mexican restaurant sells it, I'll buy it. The cake is just so incredible. It's the moistest cake you'll ever eat, thanks to, well, all the milk that it's soaked in. It's a relatively easy cake to make, too. I've made… Continue reading Pumpkin Tres Leches Cake
Gnocchi with Butternut Squash & Chicken Sausage
The other day, I was having a hell of a time trying to find something to make for dinner. I had an assortment of ingredients in my pantry and fridge but couldn't figure out what to make with them. I had a sudden lightning bolt of inspiration and this recipe was born. I'm glad something… Continue reading Gnocchi with Butternut Squash & Chicken Sausage
Sausage Stuffing Balls
One of my favorite snacks to make during the holidays is sausage balls. You only need three ingredients: ground breakfast sausage, Bisquick, and cheese. It's an incredibly tasty snack and I've never met a single person who didn't like them. But what if you could make sausage balls BETTER? I'm here to tell you that… Continue reading Sausage Stuffing Balls
Chicken Cordon Bleu Rice Casserole
Chicken Cordon Bleu used to be THE meal you would make to impress dinner guests. It's an impressive dish. It takes a lot of effort to make. The end product looks impressive, especially when you cut into the crispy chicken breast and gooey cheese melts out. It's like a chicken version of beef Wellington, but… Continue reading Chicken Cordon Bleu Rice Casserole
Beef & Noodles
One of the first TikTok videos I made to go slightly viral was a really simple recipe I made for my husband a few years ago. It was not one I was expecting to blow up. In fact, I really didn't think much of it. People latched onto it, though. The recipe? Chicken and noodles.… Continue reading Beef & Noodles
Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes
Oklahoma's temperatures finally dipped below freezing last night. For the first time of the season, I turned my heater on. That slightly burned smell wafted through the vents and filled my house with the smell of burnt toast. It was wonderful. I love when the weather gets cooler. It's like a whole new world in… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Potatoes
