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
Chile Relleno Soup
The lack of soups in my kitchen has been surprising. It's probably because we haven't had a bitterly freezing cold snap yet this fall/winter. When it's not cold, I'm not a fan of soups. I'm glad I made this soup this weekend, though. I had my final (!!!) deep cleaning on my teeth yesterday and… Continue reading Chile Relleno Soup
Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini
One of my favorite radio stations here in Oklahoma City has a different format than many I've listened to throughout my life. Instead of playing a few songs and then a quick, 2-minute-ish commercial break, they play six songs and then have a seven minute long commercial break. If I'm unfortunate enough to get stuck with that… Continue reading Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini
Buttermilk Fried Catfish with Southern Gremolata
Is there anything more summer, or Southern, than a fish fry? Just the smell of catfish fillets (or nuggets) dipped in golden cornmeal and then fried until crispy makes my mouth water. I've grown up around catfish, and good 'ol fish fries, my entire life. Catfish may be a bottom feeder, but it sure does… Continue reading Buttermilk Fried Catfish with Southern Gremolata
Chicken Parmesan Lasagna
It's about to be a whirlwind these next few weeks, so I'm trying to pile up as many blog posts as I can. I've got training for a new editing system at work (plus moving over files from the old system to the new), a quick work trip to Memphis, registry/wedding stuff to do, and… Continue reading Chicken Parmesan Lasagna
