Do you thoroughly wash your produce when you get home from the grocery store? I know I don't do it as often as I'd like. Anything that says "triple cleaned" on it I usually just throw right into the crisper drawer without a second thought. Is that bad? Probably. Have I ever gotten sick off… Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens

Francine’s Salad
There are plenty of meals and recipes that my family has been making for decades. I've got "super secret" family recipes for banana pudding, sweet potato casserole, chocolate pecan pie, and chicken fried steak. If you ever go to a family potluck or cookout and think to yourself, "oh, I hope so-and-so is coming, because… Continue reading Francine’s Salad
Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
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

I may have a… Continue reading Colossal Chicken Salad
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
Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls were all the rage a few years ago. It's like somebody somewhere had a bright idea of just pouring a smoothie into a bowl, adding toppings, and upcharging the heck out of it. It was brilliant, really. It makes smoothies look a little more appetizing and much more photogenic. The #foodie culture ate… Continue reading Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Who's here for a delicious buffalo chicken recipe? Good, good. I've got a winner with this one. If buffalo-style ANYTHING is your cup of tea, you're in luck. I put as much buffalo and ranch flavor in this salad as I could. Sorry, no blue cheese here. I thought about putting blue cheese crumbles inside,… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Mushroom Bourguignon
Hello y'all! It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. The temperature will reach 60 degrees before the sun goes down, it's bright and sunny, and the birds are chirping. I understand most of the Eastern United States is looking at a completely different scenario right now. A lot of people are buried under feet of… Continue reading Mushroom Bourguignon
Honey Sriracha Chicken
Since we've gotten a Costco membership, I've been shopping there once a month for meat. We buy meat is BULK. I get a big thing of chicken that will last me all month, ground turkey, shrimp, sausage, bacon--you name it. I've been trying to cut down on my grocery shopping trips and Costco is the… Continue reading Honey Sriracha Chicken
