If you've only been going to the grocery store once every few weeks, you've probably been stocking up just like I have. I'm finally getting to the bottom of my freezer and grocery day is still a few days away. I've managed to use up a lot of old frozen products I had (roasted green… Continue reading Hawaiian Pasta Salad

Southwestern Chicken Salad
I like making big batches of food whenever I get the chance. Since I mealprep on Sundays, that's easy to do. Meal prepping is all about cooking in big batches and divvying it up throughout the week. Casseroles, sheetpan meals, and skillet dinners are perfect for it. Then, there's meal prepping salads. You can't really… Continue reading Southwestern Chicken Salad
Spicy Dill Veggie Dip
Today feels like it should be any other day of the week but Wednesday. Monday? That's what it feels like. This week keeps dragging on so slow. I'm ready for the weekend to get here in a big bad way. Do you ever feel like time is moving slow? I feel that way a lot.… Continue reading Spicy Dill Veggie Dip
Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
For Christmas, my dad bought me this countertop hydroponic garden that can grow herbs and small vegetables. Knowing me, I thought nothing would grow. I've been known to kill just about every plant I've ever owned. Even a fern. A FERN. Something that's virtually unkillable. So, I followed the instructions and took it with a… Continue reading Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Since I work in TV news, I'm constantly busy. I barely have time to take a dinner break at nights. Most nights I have to force myself away from my computer. I'm constantly afraid someone is going to need me or major breaking news will happen in the 3 minutes it takes to walk to… Continue reading Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
For Christmas, my dad got me this countertop, hydroponic herb garden. Three months later, I'm overrun with mint and dill. I've been tailoring my recipes over the last two weeks to use up the excess. I'm convinced dill can grow to be as tall as me (and that's 6 foot tall!). It just will not… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Has there ever been a greater glow-up than cauliflower over the last 5 years? Talk about a transformation. From broccoli's pale brother to star of most meals: cauliflower is the true Ugly Duckling in society today. I can't go one meal without incorporating it somehow. Riced cauliflower has been a huge part of my diet… Continue reading Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Cranberry Orange Scones
It's getting really close to Christmas, y'all. Every Monday during the month of December I take a minute to gather my thoughts. What Christmas presents do I have left to buy? When should I start shopping for Christmas dinner? What all needs to be cleaned before family comes down? That list is getting shorter and… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Scones
Classic King Ranch Casserole
Let's take a break from the holiday baking, shall we? In the midst of my cookie fervor, I've been making simple dinners that will last. I'm talking casseroles, stews, and big batches of meat to make for sandwiches. This casserole is the quintessential "make in a pinch" dinner. It's a retro classic that has stood… Continue reading Classic King Ranch Casserole
White Lasagna Soup
My house smells so insanely good right now. There's a chili cookoff at work today, and I've got a big pot of Texas Red simmering in the oven. I toasted the spices before mixing in the wet ingredients which really made the chili & cumin smell come out. I'm not a big chili fan, but… Continue reading White Lasagna Soup
