Chicken wing fever is here. With the rise of keto, more people are eating wings. They're the perfect little keto snack. Crispy, fried chicken wings with ranch or chunky blue cheese dressing can be the ultimate snack when you're starving. I'm quite partial to Wing Stop wings. I love their garlic-parmesan and lemon pepper variety,… Continue reading Dill Pickle Chicken Wings

Fried Cabbage Slaw
It's one of my favorite vegetables: cabbage.I like it in just about everything. Raw in coleslaw or on top of tacos, cooked down with corned beef or fried with bacon---cabbage is a star in my world.Not to mention the fact that it's cheap. I bought a head of cabbage for 52 cents at the grocery… Continue reading Fried Cabbage Slaw
BLT Breakfast Salad
I was a photographer for television stations at the beginning of my career. The term "photographer" is a little misleading, though. I was a videographer. There's a massive difference between how people shoot pictures and how people shoot video...and how people shoot television news. I knew my camera like the back of my hand (a… Continue reading BLT Breakfast Salad
Bacon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
I've spent the entire day cooking. Breakfast, lunch and dinner has been meal-prepped for the week. I even made time to make a snack for the week ahead: some of the best chicken wings I've ever had. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for a load of dishes to dry so I can do two more… Continue reading Bacon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Since I work in TV news, I'm constantly busy. I barely have time to take a dinner break at nights. Most nights I have to force myself away from my computer. I'm constantly afraid someone is going to need me or major breaking news will happen in the 3 minutes it takes to walk to… Continue reading Five Cheese Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
For Christmas, my dad got me this countertop, hydroponic herb garden. Three months later, I'm overrun with mint and dill. I've been tailoring my recipes over the last two weeks to use up the excess. I'm convinced dill can grow to be as tall as me (and that's 6 foot tall!). It just will not… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
Jambalaya Stuffed Peppers
Happy Mardi Gras! Every year I try to remember to make some Cajun food for the holiday and every year I forget. Not this year! We went all out this weekend with boudin and King Cake. I even picked up a giant andouille sausage to have for today. I know those aren't the classiest Cajun… Continue reading Jambalaya Stuffed Peppers
Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Has there ever been a greater glow-up than cauliflower over the last 5 years? Talk about a transformation. From broccoli's pale brother to star of most meals: cauliflower is the true Ugly Duckling in society today. I can't go one meal without incorporating it somehow. Riced cauliflower has been a huge part of my diet… Continue reading Sausage and Cauliflower Sheetpan Dinner
Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Let me set the scene for you: it's 10:45 a.m. on Friday. It's 35 degrees outside and although the sun is out, it still feels frigid. My cat, Bolo, is pacing anxiously around my bed waiting for me to get up. I unravel myself from my heavy comforter. My foot breaches the air from outside… Continue reading Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Simple Nicoise Salad
This recipe was originally going to have chicken in it, to make it different from a traditional Nicoise salad. But alas, the forgetful grocery shopper strikes again. It doesn't matter how detailed my list is when I go to the supermarket---I will always forget something. I'm usually able to get my husband to pick it… Continue reading Simple Nicoise Salad
