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

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
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
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
Parmesan-Crusted Fried Tortellini
I'm not one for New Year's resolutions. The chances of me keeping them? Slim to none. In fact, I don't think I've ever kept a single resolution my entire life. Does that mean I'm impulsive? Too flakey? Bad at commitment? Or maybe I just set really unattainable goals. Oh well. There's no failing if you… Continue reading Parmesan-Crusted Fried Tortellini
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
Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops with Pumpkin Butter
I've been struggling to pick out the perfect pork chop lately. In the past, I've always eaten thick-cut, boneless pork chops---but those tend to dry out quickly. It's nice to know you only need to cook pork to an internal temperature of around 145 degrees now, effectively making dry pork chops non-existent...but still. Those thick-cut… Continue reading Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops with Pumpkin Butter
