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
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Broccoli Salad
Broccoli salad has been around for a while. It really rose to prominence in the midwest and south around the 60's and 70's. For people wanting a "healthier" barbecue side dish, broccoli salad was the best bet. Your aunt or mom probably makes a variation of broccoli salad that includes dried cranberries, raisins, and/or sunflower… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Broccoli Salad
Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
One of the first restaurants I ate at after moving to Oklahoma City in 2012 was Texadelphia. There was once a few different locations of Texadelphia in OKC, but now there is only one left in Bricktown. That's the one I went to when I first moved here. Texadelphia is a Philly cheesesteak place with… Continue reading Turkey & Pinto Bean Salad with Salsa Ranch
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
Caribbean-Style Chicken & Mango Salad
I'm running out of salad recipes. Since I don't like to leave my desk for lunch, I typically bring a salad with me for lunch every day. That way I can eat and work at the same time. Salads are just perfect for the work-through-lunch type of people. I've tried just about every salad under… Continue reading Caribbean-Style Chicken & Mango Salad
Skillet Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
There's nothing like fresh lemon dishes in the Spring. I love putting lemon zest and lemon juice on chicken, vegetables, and springtime soups. It adds a wonderful freshness to a dish. Lemon-roasted chicken is my all-time favorite way to eat a whole chicken. Roasting a whole chicken can be quite challenging, though, especially if you're… Continue reading Skillet Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
Italian Linguine Pasta Salad
When you read as many cookbooks as I do, a lot of things start to repeat themselves. In old church cookbooks you can expect to see pasta, jello, and fruit salads in the "salad" section. These cookbooks generally lack leafy green salads. You'll find a veritable feast of casseroles in the "main dishes" section, too.… Continue reading Italian Linguine Pasta Salad
Pork Reuben Wraps
I was never a big sauerkraut fan growing up. I'm sure not many kids were, either. Fermented cabbage isn't really on most kids' lists of favorite foods. As I've grown older, I've learned to love the stuff. I especially love it on a classic Reuben sandwich. There was a great deli for years in uptown… Continue reading Pork Reuben Wraps
