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
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
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
Pork Chops with Corn Stuffing
Oh boy, oh boy. Here we are again preparing for another winter storm. Last February's winter storm was DEVASTATING. Our pipes froze up in the kitchen and bathroom (no damage, thankfully), we lost some more limbs, and the snow came up to my knees. Oklahomans are NOT built for this. We aren't Michigan or Ohio… Continue reading Pork Chops with Corn Stuffing
Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa
I've been trying to eat more vegetarian/vegan meals since meat prices are so high right now. So far, I've stuck to one meatless meal a week. This week I made tacos with all veggies and it was phenomenal. Mushrooms have always been my favorite and they're the perfect meat replacement, especially if cooked correctly. Portobello… Continue reading Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa

Football Empanadas
I've finally come full circle. This recipe is one of the first recipes I ever posted to this blog nearly 8 years ago. I was just using my phone to take pictures then, long before I got a professional camera to use. I remember making it for a dinner party at a friend's house after… Continue reading Football Empanadas

I'm already starting my holiday meal planning. There's a lot of recipes I have to make before Christmas so YOU know what to make for Christmas. I typically start my holiday baking in mid-November and continue on through the month of December. I've gone back to the archives for this holiday season. I'm drawing inspiration… Continue reading Macaroni & Cheese Chowder

I know you've seen hundreds, if not thousands, of chicken tortilla/fajita/enchilada soup. It's one of the most popular soups on Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, and in real life. But I'm here to tell you this one is the BEST of the BEST. It's creamy, spicy, filling and cheesy.
