Chinese takeout fills a really important niche in my life. If I'm feeling down, or feeling homebound, ordering Chinese will instantly put me in a good mood. We've got a ton of quick Chinese takeout spots around the city, and I usually don't order from the same one twice. I'll switch between Singapore noodles (curry… Continue reading Extra Pepper Chicken

Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
One of my favorite things to get at the grocery store is catfish nuggets. It's simply chopped up catfish filets, but it's half the cost of an actual filet. My mom always uses catfish nuggets to make fried catfish, and now I can see why. I bought nearly 3.5 pounds of catfish for less than… Continue reading Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
Italian Country Breakfast Bake
I'm an advertising executive's dream. I get suckered into Instagram and Facebook ads all the time. I'll find myself swiping through pictures of things I never knew I needed for hours...oh, wait.

If you open a church cookbook, or a cookbook handed down to you from family, you'll find a rather large salad section that can sometimes be entirely void… Continue reading Corn Chip Salad
Crockpot Beer Cheese Chicken
Y'all. It's suffocating outside. The humidity levels are hovering in the 70's. Add that with a temperature of 85 degrees, and it feels more like 95 degrees...and it's only 10 a.m. The unbearable heat will continue throughout the day until we get a quick break tonight when a cold front moves in. I feel so… Continue reading Crockpot Beer Cheese Chicken
Summer Chicken Skillet
I'm getting slightly burned out on chicken. Beef is reserved for special occasions in my house. I rarely cook pork. Seafood is too pricey. Chicken is king when it comes to my meal prepping. But you can only dress up chicken so much before getting real tired of it. That's why I've been doing different… Continue reading Summer Chicken Skillet
