Recycling is a cornerstone of my kitchen. I try to recycle leftovers, unwrapped foods, and half-used produce. We don't actually get recycling out here in the country, so I try to live as eco-friendly as a possibly can. Don't get me wrong, we still throw away way too much food. The entire planet does! Food… Continue reading Classic Fried Cabbage

Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
I've been craving iceberg lettuce lately. I know, iceberg doesn't have a taste. But there's nothing that has its refreshing crunch. It's the best lettuce to use on burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Hands down. It has very little nutritional value and is just basically water packaged into a lettuce leaf, but it's the most refreshing… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens
Do you thoroughly wash your produce when you get home from the grocery store? I know I don't do it as often as I'd like. Anything that says "triple cleaned" on it I usually just throw right into the crisper drawer without a second thought. Is that bad? Probably. Have I ever gotten sick off… Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens
Francine’s Salad
There are plenty of meals and recipes that my family has been making for decades. I've got "super secret" family recipes for banana pudding, sweet potato casserole, chocolate pecan pie, and chicken fried steak. If you ever go to a family potluck or cookout and think to yourself, "oh, I hope so-and-so is coming, because… Continue reading Francine’s Salad
Taco Mac
You've heard of Chili Mac before, but what about TACO MAC??? Honestly, it's pretty much the same thing but with a slightly different flavor profile. You use taco seasoning (which usually DOES include chili powder) and that's what makes this Mac different from Chili Mac. If you really want to make things more taco-fied, before… Continue reading Taco Mac
Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
It's a beautiful morning and I'm officially on vacation for the next 7 days! I've got to start packing after I blog. I haven't done a lick of packing! My husband and I are leaving as soon as he gets off work, so I'm under quite the time crunch. I wanted to at least leave… Continue reading Goat Cheese & Roasted Tomato Frittata
Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
I'm finally getting to the bottom of a horde of recipes I've cooked over the last few weeks. I got backed up for some reason and I'm about to go out of town, so I need to get through most of the horde. I made this recipe for my husband's lunches a few weeks ago… Continue reading Creole Turkey Burgers with Spicy Aioli
Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie
Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Oh boy. You really underestimate how much your oven heats up your home until you are baking all day. I had to cook a bunch of recipes this weekend in the oven and got hot. I mean, really hot. I had to fan myself down a few times while wiping away little beads of sweat… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Over the last several weeks, I've been revisiting some classic cookbooks in my collection. I've got a massive collection so it's nearly impossible to go through them all, but I like to peruse a few at a time to spark some inspriation for my weekly menus. I've found quite a few good recipes from a… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
