I cannot get enough of this vintage cookbook I rediscovered in my collection. It's a compilation of recipes from women who attended the First United Methodist Church in Burkburnett, Texas in 1977. I started out cooking a knockoff KFC chicken recipe from the book for TikTok. After that, I was hooked. There are so many… Continue reading Chicken Taco Casserole

Honey Garlic Pork Chops
I've been browsing my expansive cookbook collection lately for inspiration. I've got dozens of vintage cookbooks packed full of old school jello and casserole recipes. I've been trying to find Christmas recipes and new dinners that are exciting and fresh and different. The only bad thing about those vintage cookbooks is for every good dinner… Continue reading Honey Garlic Pork Chops
Italian Beef Stew
Hello, all! It's been a hot minute since my last post. There's good reason for that...or, actually, a bad reason for that: I had coronavirus. I've been bed-ridden for more than a week and only just now started to feel better. I'm one of the lucky ones, though. I had a relatively mild case and… Continue reading Italian Beef Stew
Gnocchi Bolonese
There's something extra special about comfort food. Whether it's a big batch of macaroni cheese, a slice of warm apple pie, or your favorite potato chip...comfort food will always help you out in bad, sad, or good times. The ultimate Italian comfort food is Bolonese. The slow-cooked meat sauce hits the spot whenever you need… Continue reading Gnocchi Bolonese
Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
It's a chilly one out there today. We're under an ice storm warning for the next several days and I'm hoping and praying our electricity doesn't go out. I love how Oklahoma skips right over fall and dives head first into winter. Leaves changing colors, what's that? Cool fall temps with sweaters? Never heard of… Continue reading Garlic Sriracha Pork Stir-Fry
Spaghetti with Chicken and Bacon Ragout
I've been having a ball on TikTok lately making recipe videos. If you have TikTok, and want a more visual representation of my recipes, follow me at "modfarmgirl". It's reinvigorated my creativity in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, I've always had a creative streak when it comes to cooking, but now I'm finding all… Continue reading Spaghetti with Chicken and Bacon Ragout
Black Bean and Turkey Soup
It's going to be a hot one here today. We're almost going to reach 100 degrees. That's unheard of for this time of year. We should be watching the leaves change colors while cozied up under a chunky-knit sweater. I should be able to sip hot cocoa outside on my porch wrapped up in a… Continue reading Black Bean and Turkey Soup
BBQ Chicken Tostadas
I swear, if I don't get a new oven sometime soon...I might lose my mind. I was CRAVING tostadas the other day and I've only ever made them in the oven. Sure, you can get the pre-made tostada shells (which is what I did) but how the heck are you going to melt the cheese… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Tostadas
Sweet Potato Chowder
Anyone else noticing the meteoric rise of the sweet potato? What was once relegated to holiday meals only, has now become a cult favorite online. People are using sweet potatoes in ways never seen before. They are substituting their more starchy cousin for everything from potato salad to fries. Sweet potatoes have also been speaking… Continue reading Sweet Potato Chowder
Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer. Just like when it turns into winter I miss fall. In the spring, I find myself yearning for snow. Summer, I miss those springtime… Continue reading Summer Sausage Skillet Dinner
