Do you ever have an idea and then instantly regret it when you put that idea into motion? That happened to me this weekend with this recipe. I didn't want to go to the grocery store so all the meals I meal prepped this weekend came from my fridge and pantry. I have a surplus… Continue reading Pork Chop Parmesan

Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
When my parents were down here to help us move into our new home, my mom bought two big bags of catfish nuggets. We had planned to do a fish fry one night, but all of the work we had to do on the house bogged us down so we never got around to it.… Continue reading Catfish Po’Boy Tacos
Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
I'm a big time lover of stinky foods. I've gotten in trouble eating tuna in a confined space at work before. I'll heat up broccoli in the microwave with no shame. I once got the boot from the newsroom for opening up a package of pickled cauliflower (to be fair, it REEKED, and I had… Continue reading Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
I'm so happy the woman who lived in this house before me knew what she was doing in the garden. We moved into a fully functional, mature garden with tons of tomato plants and a producing apple tree. There's no way I could've grown those from scratch. I've got a black thumb when it comes… Continue reading Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
Almond Crusted Fish
There's an unspoken rule in most workplaces: you don't microwave fish in the office. So what happens when fish is what you meal prep for the week? Do you bite the bullet and have your coworkers hate you for a few hours, or do you just save your fish for lunch at home? It depends… Continue reading Almond Crusted Fish
Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
One of my favorite things to get at the grocery store is catfish nuggets. It's simply chopped up catfish filets, but it's half the cost of an actual filet. My mom always uses catfish nuggets to make fried catfish, and now I can see why. I bought nearly 3.5 pounds of catfish for less than… Continue reading Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
Fried Cabbage Skillet Dinner
Growing up in the South, there are certain food staples that guide your life. Black-eyed peas. Lima beans. Collard greens. Chicken fried steak. Banana pudding. Fried cabbage. I grew up on all of those things, save for the last. Fried cabbage didn't enter my life until 2012. I remember it vividly... I was living in… Continue reading Fried Cabbage Skillet Dinner
Bacon & Spaghetti Squash Fritters
When I was a kid, my mom would make two types of "fritters" (or as we would call them, "patties"): tuna and squash. I would also be so giddy when she made these special patties. I've shared with you the squash patty recipe before, but I honestly can't remember how my mom made the tuna… Continue reading Bacon & Spaghetti Squash Fritters
Chicken Piccata Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Chicken picatta is hands down my favorite Italian dish. 99% of the time, I'll order piccata at an Italian restaurant. It's my go-to comfort food. It's simple, light, and breezy when it comes to your typical heavy Italian food fare. I love those little capers that burst in your mouth with salty, tangy goodness! By… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
I think I'm diggin this keto diet for the main fact that I can still eat cheese. Cheese is everything good in life. I've invested in a stash of Babybel and a ton of cheddar. I know you're not supposed to eat that much cheese, but I need to have an emergency supply, you know?… Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
