Carrots have really fallen out of favor amongst home cooks in recent years. It could be because of how sweet they are, or because a lot of people don't like them. Whatever the reason, carrots aren't typically served as sides in American dinners in 2023. It's a crying shame, honestly. Carrots are so versatile and… Continue reading Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis
I love finding a good copycat recipe for a restaurant favorite. When the recipe is spot on, you can save a bunch of money by making it yourself instead of driving to a restaurant. I've made a ton of fantastic copycat recipes including Chipotle carnitas, Piccadilly Macaroni and Cheese, and Cheddar's dijon chicken and mushrooms.… Continue reading Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis
Honey-Lime Chicken & Sweet Potato Stir Fry
We've officially blown past the "enjoyable" part of summer and plowed right into the "miserable, please make it stop" part. A heat wave has set up shop over the state and shows NO signs of letting up. It's gross, humid, and relentlessly hot outside. I'm trying my best not to cook anything in this house… Continue reading Honey-Lime Chicken & Sweet Potato Stir Fry
Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds
After 17+ years in the kitchen, I finally did it. I finally had a knife accident. Thankfully, my slip-up only cost me half a fingernail, otherwise, this story would have been much more graphic. Picture this: I was cutting some roast turkey breast into slices for lunch when the knife I was using just sliced… Continue reading Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds
Hot Honey Chicken Salad
I'm trying to get in this mindset that we're living in a much warmer season than it actually is. I'm dreaming of summer, cicadas chirping, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, and long sunsets. Instead, what I'm actually living in is barren trees, ice crystals on my windshield, and a churning heater. I'm sick… Continue reading Hot Honey Chicken Salad
Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad
Chilly mornings have replaced the steaming heat here in Oklahoma. It's the best time of year when it comes to the weather, and yet it won't last long. You'll need to turn your heater on when you go to work and by the time you get out you'll have to turn the A/C on. Chilly… Continue reading Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad

There are millions of different cornbread recipes out there. I've made quite a few of them. But there are none quite like this cornbread recipe. I was on the hunt for a new recipe a few weeks ago.

Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Spring cleaning has been going on in my house for the last several weeks. We've got family and friends visiting for the next couple of weeks, so I've been trying to tidy up where I can. I've completely reorganized the kitchen cabinets, given the windows a double-clean, and am in the midst of reorganizing the… Continue reading Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark
Honey Sriracha Chicken
Since we've gotten a Costco membership, I've been shopping there once a month for meat. We buy meat is BULK. I get a big thing of chicken that will last me all month, ground turkey, shrimp, sausage, bacon--you name it. I've been trying to cut down on my grocery shopping trips and Costco is the… Continue reading Honey Sriracha Chicken
Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs are a real treat, but a real pain to make. You've got to get your hands dirty to mix everything together. You get them dirty again by rolling them up into balls. Then you've got the extraordinary task of cooking them---are you going to fry or bake them? Will they be cooked through and… Continue reading Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs
