I may be the cook in the family, but my husband is actually a really good cook, too. He specializes in breakfast, but there are a few different dinners he makes that are really good. One of his favorites is the one pot Swedish meatball dinner. I'm not sure where he found it, but he's… Continue reading One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner

Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
There are a lot of different homestyle recipes I lean back on during tough times. My husband and I are saving up for a mega-two-week camping trip in the middle of June. That means I've been cutting back where I can, especially my grocery list. It's one easy area to save on money. I had… Continue reading Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Lazy Sundays are the best. Lounging around, listening to good music, binging your favorite TV show and taking an extra long bath really can't be beat. I do most of my cooking on Sunday mornings (I'm a meal prepper) but Sunday afternoons are generally left to relax and rejuvenate before the work week. I've already… Continue reading Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
Oklahoma City is home to a vast restaurant landscape. There are cuisines of every variety, and great restaurants that make them. I've found favorite Indian, Pakistani, Ethiopian, Bolivian, Thai, and Vietnamese restaurants. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city was a Korean restaurant. But why, oh why, is it so hard to find… Continue reading Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy
Pork tenderloin is a great cut of meat for those on a budget. It's extremely cheap for the amount of meat you get. I can buy a big two-pack, weighing about 4 lbs. total, for $14 at Costco. Tenderloin is also a very versatile protein. You can use it like you would pork chops, and… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy
Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Pepperoncini and other pickled peppers are having a moment right now. Maybe it's because of the viral "grinder" sandwich recipe you may have seen on TikTok. Or maybe it's because they deserve to be in the spotlight. Pickled peppers are freaking delicious. I've been buying pickled pepperoncini, cherry and jalapeno peppers in bulk for a… Continue reading Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches
Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
One of my favorite places to eat in college was Olive Garden. That's a weird statement, I know. But listen, my small little town didn't have much to choose from. And as a broke college student, you couldn't get a much better deal than OG's unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. My go-to was the Zuppa… Continue reading Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
Chuckwagon Casserole
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, I implore you to buy one. Are they kind of a pain to clean? Sure. Are they heavy and take up a lot of room in the kitchen? Yes. But are they the king of cookware? Absolutely. Cast iron skillets are versatile. One second you can be… Continue reading Chuckwagon Casserole
Green Goddess Chicken Salad
If you buy herbs in the grocery store, you probably know all to well the problem of biting off more than you can chew. There's nothing worse than wasting food, in my opinion. And yet fresh herbs always seem to go to waste in my kitchen. I always need fresh basil, parsley or dill for… Continue reading Green Goddess Chicken Salad
Mexican Wedding Soup
Just when you thought Spring was here, winter's last gasp happens. It has barely gotten above 40 degrees today. This past weekend, however, I was planning a routine springtime festivity: morel mushroom hunting. This weather is whacky, y'all. Since we're still experiencing slightly subzero temperatures, soup recipes are still on my mind. I've slowed down… Continue reading Mexican Wedding Soup
