There are millions of different cornbread recipes out there. I've made quite a few of them. But there are none quite like this cornbread recipe. I was on the hunt for a new recipe a few weeks ago. If you've ever had cornbread cravings before, they are real. I had everything I needed at home… Continue reading Honey-Jalapeno Corn Muffins

Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
I've made at least a dozen different versions of taco salad in my life. My all-time favorite version is a classic: meat, ranch-style beans, lettuce, cheese, tortilla chips and Catalina dressing. It's not really the most healthy salad on the planet, but it sure is good. I've made a nice turkey version before with mini… Continue reading Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens
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.

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

There's nothing more refreshing during the hotter months of the year than a big ol' bowl of salad.

Colossal Chicken Salad
By now you probably know that I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've got cookbooks stashed in every nook and cranny of my house. There's two huge bins plus one gigantic bookshelf packed full of cookbooks. I keep buying new ones even though I have no idea what to do with them. 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
