While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie

Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
I'm ready to make salads upon salads this spring and summer. The spring produce is out and ready for the taking. There's nothing more refreshing during the hotter months of the year than a big ol' bowl of salad. It's especially helpful when you want to avoid overheating your house with the stove and the… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
I'm finally, finally getting to the end of a bunch of recipes I made a few weekends ago. I try to post as many times a week as I can, but this week has been hectic. Between getting people out to our house to cut down limbs from October's ice storm, to accidentally sleeping in… Continue reading Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Every Sunday I meal prep for the week ahead. I make two meals for my husband to take to work for lunch, then a few meals for dinners throughout the week (plus snacks and salads when I decide to make them). I've been experimenting with what my husband will eat for lunch because I want… Continue reading Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
You ever have these grandiose ideas for dinner, sit down to cook it up, and then it turns out nothing like you had envisioned? That was me cooking this tamale pie recipe. The first problem: I didn't make enough of the "tamale" mixture to cover the top. My second problem: I didn't season my "tamale"… Continue reading Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
Mexican Meatloaf
Meatloaf is one of those food items that just doesn't photograph well. I've made dozens of different meatloaf recipes over the years, but most of the time I don't blog about them because the pictures came out looking, well, like crap. It doesn't matter if it was the best thing I'd ever had! When the… Continue reading Mexican Meatloaf
Caprese Chicken & Rice
I did it! I scheduled a vaccine appointment! Oklahoma opened up our state to phase 3 (which is most Oklahomans, like essential workers) yesterday and as luck would have it, I was signing up on the vaccine portal *right* when they announced phase 3. I managed to snag a highly coveted appointment for tomorrow. I'm… Continue reading Caprese Chicken & Rice
Fully Loaded Tomato Soup
I'm souped out for the forseeable future. I've probably made more soups this winter than ever before. It's been a rough one. We've had the lowest temperatures Oklahoma has ever had before, tons of snow, and an insane ice storm to kick off the season. I'm ready for warmer temps, blooming flowers, and cold beers… Continue reading Fully Loaded Tomato Soup
Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Have you ever had Wing Stop? Have you ever tried their garlic-parmesan or lemon pepper wings? Those are my two favorite flavors of wings and nobody seems to do them as well as Wing Stop. They're so crispy and flavorful and absolutely crave-worthy. I dream of those chicken wings in my sleep... I tried to… Continue reading Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken
Quinoa Pizza Bake
I've got one car stuck in the driveway, my husband working from home in my office right now, and all the faucets in my house set to a steady stream of water so they don't freeze up (again). If Oklahoma makes it through this insane winter blast, it will be a miracle. We just simply… Continue reading Quinoa Pizza Bake
