I just had a bit of unintentional stress this morning. My parents are coming down here for Christmas this year, and my mom and I are going to make a full turkey Christmas dinner. Since my apartment's kitchen isn't the hugest, we decided to order pies from our favorite pie place (Pie Junkie) that way… Continue reading Frosted Gingerbread Bars

Christmas Cookie Truffles
It's December 2nd, and if your Christmas tree isn't up yet---what are you waiting for?! I'm currently sitting here listening to Christmas music play through my stereo and looking at the lights glisten on my tree. I'm fully in the Christmas spirit, and that couldn't be more visible than if you step into my kitchen.… Continue reading Christmas Cookie Truffles
Ham & Bow Tie Bake

Easy Skillet Chili Mac
I'm wiped, and it's only Tuesday. I pumped up the incline on my treadmill this morning and sweat BUCKETS. Literally buckets were pouring off of me. I don't know why I really wanted to push it to the max this morning---maybe because I'm working all week? Literally. I work 7 days this week! It's okay… Continue reading Easy Skillet Chili Mac
Artichoke & Chicken Sausage Quiche
...well, it's sort of a quiche. There's no crust. Does that mean it's not a quiche? What precisely defines a quiche? I'd like to think that definition includes a creamy egg bake inside of a pie pan. If that's the case this most definitely is a quiche. One of my favorite thinks to cook is… Continue reading Artichoke & Chicken Sausage Quiche
