It is one hot mother trucker outside. I just checked the temp...102. With a heat index of 107. Noooo thank you. I took our current, almost-uninhabitable heat wave into account when I went to the grocery store today. Salads, barbecue chicken, and sandwiches ruled on my list. Ain't nobody got time for turning on the… Continue reading Collard & Cabbage Slaw

White Chicken Chili
It's always nice to take a break, and a four-day weekend is exactly what I needed. I have Christmas presents to buy, places to go, people to see...well, not those last two parts, but I am definitely behind on my Christmas shopping. I tend to lean procrastinator, so that's no surprise here. I am also very… Continue reading White Chicken Chili

Sandwiches, salads, and cold chicken are my best friends in the summertime. I decided to try my hand at grilling for the first time ever yesterday (I'll have much more on that tomorrow) and needed… Continue reading Mexican Macaroni Salad
Southern Fried Squash Patties
It's sooooooo hot outside. We are already facing a heat index of 111 degrees and it's EARLY June! I can't take this heat. I just can't. Take. It. When it's this hot outside, you don't really want to eat anything ever. EVER. Food is the last thing on your mind. Icy cold places are the only… Continue reading Southern Fried Squash Patties
Carnitas with Orzo & Peppers
One of my favorite random holidays, Cinco de Mayo, is tomorrow. Do you celebrate this holiday? I do. I love the Mexican culture---and most importantly, the Mexican cuisine. I made this delicious carnitas recipe this weekend for when my stepdad was in town. It filled my house with sinful aromas, and my stepdad devoured it… Continue reading Carnitas with Orzo & Peppers
