If you buy herbs in the grocery store, you probably know all to well the problem of biting off more than you can chew. There's nothing worse than wasting food, in my opinion. And yet fresh herbs always seem to go to waste in my kitchen. I always need fresh basil, parsley or dill for… Continue reading Green Goddess Chicken Salad

Remember the first time you ever bit into a Chicken Parmesan sandwich? Remember the flood of delight as soon as the sandwich hit your tastebuds? That's kind of what happened when I took my first bite of this sandwich. This recipe takes hardly any ingredients to make. It's simple, quick, and packs a true wollop… Continue reading Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Sandwiches
Crawfish and Rice Casserole
It's almost Mardi Gras!! Being an honorary Cajun, I try to make something for Mardi Gras every year. I've never lived in Louisiana, but I have family there (Alexandria) and my aunt lived in Monroe for a while when I was a teenager. I have a deep love for Louisiana and all of its people… Continue reading Crawfish and Rice Casserole
Barbecue Oven-Roasted Potato Salad
I've been testing out potato salad recipes lately trying to find one that I like. My family potato salad, which I posted years ago, is increasingly challenging to make. Not because it's a hard recipe, but because there's an ingredient that is almost impossible to find in the grocery store: green onion dip mix. If… Continue reading Barbecue Oven-Roasted Potato Salad
Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
There's a thick, beefy aroma in the air. Spices and herbs are mingling together in my oven and the smell is seeping out and filling my house. My husband and I are slow-cooking a 10 pound (!!!) brisket for the first time for Super Bowl Sunday. My husband is a massive KC Chiefs fan and… Continue reading Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
Tuna Cobb Salad
There's a sale on oil-packed tuna at Costco right now. It might not sound like that big of a deal, but when there's a sale on tuna, I jump on it. I eat a lot of tuna. I love it so much, a few years ago I signed up for a settlement with Starkist. As… Continue reading Tuna Cobb Salad
Black Bean and Rice Soup
Better hurry up and make a bunch of soups while you still can, winter is almost over. At least, in Oklahoma, it's almost over. Our winter typically ends around the end of February. By the time March rolls around, we're in tornado/storm season. We've had tornado outbreaks as early as March 12 since I've lived… Continue reading Black Bean and Rice Soup
Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Starbucks has really upped its game when it comes to selling food. I remember when Starbucks only sold coffee. No food, no snacks. Nada. Now, you can almost eat every meal at Starbucks (if you have the dough). I've become a fan of their quinoa salad and spinach-feta-and-egg-white wraps. But a few years ago, it… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots
Carrots have really fallen out of favor amongst home cooks in recent years. It could be because of how sweet they are, or because a lot of people don't like them. Whatever the reason, carrots aren't typically served as sides in American dinners in 2023. It's a crying shame, honestly. Carrots are so versatile and… Continue reading Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots
Pot Pie Baked Potatoes
I wish potatoes weren't so demonized. Are they the best carb in the world? No. But are they cheap, filling, and still full of essential vitamins and minerals? Absolutely. Potatoes deserve to be in your carb rotation, even if you do so sparingly. They don't deserve to be demonized and left out of the kitchen… Continue reading Pot Pie Baked Potatoes
