I feel like Brussels Sprouts get a bad rap. People either love them or hate them, and most people HATE them. Maybe it's their stinky smell (it's rather unpleasant when you microwave them especially) or their thick, crunchy texture. I believe most people have just had them served all wrong. Boiled or steamed Brussels sprouts… Continue reading Sweet Chili Turkey & Brussels Sprouts

Cheese Tot Skewers
If there's one thing I like about certain recipes, it's how easy they are to make. Nothing beats making a four-course meal in 30 minutes. It's a thrill making dozens of appetizers for a crowd when it take less effort than putting on clothes. Easy recipes are my favorite. It's even better when a recipe… Continue reading Cheese Tot Skewers
Baked Taco Pinwheels
I meal prep lunches for my husband for the week every Sunday. Sometimes he'll get two meals to choose from, other times I just make one for the whole week. It's getting harder and harder to come up with new things to make him, though. I've done burrito bowls and chicken and rice a thousand… Continue reading Baked Taco Pinwheels
Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
It's officially *spooky season* and that means it's also soup season. I adore a good bowl of soup, but I'm running out of soup recipes to make! I've made just about every soup and stew you can think of at this point. I guess that's what happens when you have a recipe blog for 8+… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
Pumpkin Spice Magic Bars
I'm shocked by the amount of people who have never heard of magic bars before. When I was doing research on this recipe, I kept seeing comments on other magic bar recipes saying stuff like, "I think an ingredient is missing. Don't you need flour so it's not so liquidy?" Here's a helpful hint for… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Magic Bars
Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi
There's a crisp chill in the air. I can hear the leaves bristling in the wind. Pumpkin spice creamer fills my cup of coffee to the brim. It's officially fall in Oklahoma and it sure feels like it, too. A cold front blew through last night and covered Oklahoma in a thick, humidity-lacking cool temperature… Continue reading Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi
Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Some of the best green beans you'll ever taste in your life are the ones that are pan-fried with bacon. It's a classic green bean recipe that most everyone knows. Bacon, onion, and green beans all come together for the perfect side dish. But what if you could make a version of that...but better? That's… Continue reading Country Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad
Labor Day is here and I'm, well, laboring. When I was a kid, my stepdad and I would use the extended weekend to work on projects around the house. Not like I WANTED to do that on a weekend off, but I did anyway. It's something that's stuck with me ever since then. I don't… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad
Chicken Piccata Meatballs
One of my favorite Italian dishes is chicken piccata. The sauce is incredibly simple: it's just lemon juice, butter and capers. Something about a simple sauce like that just makes my heart sing. It's so incredibly flavorful without having very many ingredients. It's a beautiful testament to the wonders of Italian food. I've made chicken… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Meatballs
Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
I like to try different sauces. I guess you could call me a sauce queen. I have dozens of different sauces stashed in my pantry, fridge, and secondary cabinet. I'm a big fan of sauce that Trader Joe's offers. I'll try anything at least once. So when I saw a jar of Cajun Alfredo the… Continue reading Cajun Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
