Growing up, there were two canned food items that were always in our pantry: ranch-style and pork and beans. My stepdad loved having a can of pork and beans with his burgers, brats, and other summer main dishes. Ranch-style beans were a go-to side for our meals as well. This recipe, which I found in… Continue reading Ranch Style Pork and Beans

Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone
It's 3 whole degrees outside. 3. That's it. The wind is howling from the north at a clip of 40 miles per hour, making it feel more like -20 degrees. That is just too dang cold, if you ask me. One thing you need to survive an Oklahoma arctic blast is blankets. LOTS of blankets.… Continue reading Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone
Pork & Apple Cottage Pie
The last time I posted a recipe for shepherd's pie, someone from England commented and said it wasn't a shepherd's pie. Instead, what I had posted, was a "cottage pie". So I researched both of the recipes to see if there truly is a difference. It's really just semantics. I found out both terms are… Continue reading Pork & Apple Cottage Pie
Oktoberfest Stew
Soup season is here, and it's here to stay for at least the next 5 months. I'm a big fan of soups, stews and everything in between (I'm looking at you, chowders). Eating a bowl of hot soup for dinner with a slice of bread--there's nothing like it. NOTHING LIKE IT. I've already made a… Continue reading Oktoberfest Stew
Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi
There's a crisp chill in the air. I can hear the leaves bristling in the wind. Pumpkin spice creamer fills my cup of coffee to the brim. It's officially fall in Oklahoma and it sure feels like it, too. A cold front blew through last night and covered Oklahoma in a thick, humidity-lacking cool temperature… Continue reading Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi
Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
It's one of those days where I had to drag myself out of bed. I'm not feeling great, and snoozing my alarm four times didn't help matters much at all. I'm trying to get this coffee to perk me up now so I can go on about my day with a clear mind. Here's hoping… Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
Meatball Marsala
Meatball cravings are real, y'all. So are pizza, sugar, and taco cravings. Thankfully, I can eat all the meatballs I want on keto---so long as I nix the breadcrumbs. The best binding-ingredients to toss in keto meatballs is either almond flour or crushed pork rinds. I typically do almond flour if the meatballs are made… Continue reading Meatball Marsala
Greek Chicken Noodle Soup
Who need chicken noodle soup when you can make it better? And I mean MUCH better. Season chicken in Greek seasoning and cook this soup with orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and kalamata olives. Soup has never tasted better!
Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
I've been feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, but have pushed through to make sure I meal prepped for the week. If I don't meal prep, I'm absolutely lost. There's also NO way I can cook on the weekdays. I'm usually pretty pooped after work and there's no way I can slave over… Continue reading Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet
Chicken & Veggie Skillet Dinner
Sometimes, all you want for dinner is something that you can make with one pan and one pan only. There's nothing worse than preparing a recipe and finding out you have to use 10 different pots, pans, bowls, and plates. Where's the fun in that?! You'll spend the rest of your evening doing dishes instead… Continue reading Chicken & Veggie Skillet Dinner
