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

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.

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
BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa
It's still 10 million degrees here on the surface of the sun---er, I mean OKLAHOMA.

There's nothing but 90 degree temperatures in store… Continue reading BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa
