Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage

Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
You ever open up your pantry and stand there for what seems like an eternity trying to decide what to make for dinner? I do. It happens to me more often than not. I've constantly got those gears churning in my head in the kitchen, trying to decide what to make with the haphazard ingredients… Continue reading Italian Chicken & Orzo Soup
Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans
We're getting closer and closer to that time of year where you can't use the oven any longer. It's already forecast to be close to 90 degrees tomorrow. I can feel the warm, Southerly wind on my face right now as I blog from porch. The heat is coming, and it's sure to be a… Continue reading Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans
Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
The world maybe changing, but my life still goes on in this little corner of the internet. I've got a stocked up kitchen right now and plenty of food to get Rob & I through 2 weeks if need be. We don't have the luxury of working from home. Right now is an essential time… Continue reading Slow-Roasted Herb & Citrus Salmon
BLT Potato Salad
Who says potato salad has to only be a side dish? Throw some protein in there and you can eat it for a nice, chill lunch. Or, at least that's what I'm telling myself to make myself feel better for eating a bowl full of carbs for lunch today. My constant experimentation with potato salad… Continue reading BLT Potato Salad
Barley & Chicken Casserole
Have you tried the new extra toasty Cheez-Its? They're life changing. Incredible. A gift from the Gods. I've always been that weirdo that like slightly-less-than-ideal crisps. I like the brown (or green) potato chips. I eat the burnt cheese crusted onto pans when making oven nachos. I'm a sucker for broken cookies. These browned cheesy… Continue reading Barley & Chicken Casserole
Cherry Pie Cookies
Good news, guys. I didn't get botulism! It's now been over 24 hours, so I think I'm good. I'm breathing a sigh of relief. If you want to read why I thought I would get botulism, click here. Since I'm botulism free (I think), I'm celebrating by eating all the good stuff. My coworker brought… Continue reading Cherry Pie Cookies
Barbecue Ranch Chicken Casserole
The wind sure is sweeping down the plain here in Oklahoma. We're gusting to 30 miles per hour almost, and have already seen a few grassfires spark out west. There's an ugly brown hue replacing the brilliant blue sky. Even when we're blessed with some warmer weather, we're cursed with these hellish winds. You've got… Continue reading Barbecue Ranch Chicken Casserole
Beer Brat Mac & Cheese
Boy howdy, it's been a busy week. Since I work overnights, I'm the gatekeeper between breaking news and what our crews cover for the morning news. I intently listen to police scanners, while also working on my show, to anything strange or off-kilter. Shootings, stabbings, and house fires happen A LOT at night. Like my… Continue reading Beer Brat Mac & Cheese
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cornbread
It's spooky movie season in the Wilson-Welcher household. Rob and I went to see "It" Friday evening, and while not really scary for me, it was still creepy. We followed up the theatrical goodness with the disastrously funny "Gingerdead Man" (low level B-movie starring Gary Busey? Count me in.) and then the beautifully artistic "Suspiria"… Continue reading Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cornbread
