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

Ranch Style Pork and Beans
Growing up, there were two canned food items that were always in our pantry: ranch-style and pork and beans. My stepdad loved having a can of pork and beans with his burgers, brats, and other summer main dishes. Ranch-style beans were a go-to side for our meals as well. This recipe, which I found in… Continue reading Ranch Style Pork and Beans
Sweet Potato Skins
This is the perfect time of year to start experimenting in the kitchen. There are football games to be watched, pumpkin patches to be visited, and marshmallows to be roasted. Why not experiment with foods that are perfect for those events? I love to have a good snack during a football-watching-spree of a weekend. Sometimes… Continue reading Sweet Potato Skins
Football Empanadas
I've finally come full circle. This recipe is one of the first recipes I ever posted to this blog nearly 8 years ago. I was just using my phone to take pictures then, long before I got a professional camera to use. I remember making it for a dinner party at a friend's house after… Continue reading Football Empanadas
Dallas Cowboys Soup
This football season has been bizarre, to say the least. It's usually a big fanfare around here when August turns to September and football teams start to kick off. This year we weren't sure if that was even going to happen, much less if it should happen. We've covered game cancellations, COVID-19 test results of… Continue reading Dallas Cowboys Soup
Slow Cooker Pulled Ham
Are you a ham or turkey kind of person for the holidays? I'm a turkey kind of gal. Actually, I could care less what the entree is; my favorite part of holiday meals are the sides. Give me a plate full of stuffing and mashed potatoes any day over sliced turkey or ham. My family… Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Ham
Sunflower Fruit Salad
This time of year is the best for fruit. Pears, apples, citrus---they're all exceptionally sweet around this time every year. My grocery store even starts to carry the more exotic fruits like dragonfruit, star fruit, persimmon, and papaya. Pomegranate is fills the shelves. Fresh cut fruit trays are abundant.' It's the perfect time to make… Continue reading Sunflower Fruit Salad
Low Carb Sausage Pizza Bites
It's a pretty busy next few weeks around the Welcher household. We're in the thick of football season, and our station has OU games on our air this weekend (OU-Texas, to boot) and next weekend. I'll be working with very few days off over the next few weeks, but it will be worth it in… Continue reading Low Carb Sausage Pizza Bites
Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
Here we are again. The end of the work week. It's going to take everything in my power to not "treat myself" today. For the last several Fridays, after particularly rigorous work weeks, I've ordered Postmates for dinner at work. It's a nasty (and expensive) little habit, but it was like a trophy for me… Continue reading Stuffed Buffalo Chicken
Buffalo Chicken Salad
How's your Wednesday going, Colleen? Well, I currently feel like my cat, Iggy: We're midway through the week but it already feels like Friday. This week has just drug on, and on, and on... I'm trying to make a snack for our work Super Bowl party on Friday but messed up the first version, baked… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Salad
