Boy howdy is my freezer packed full right now. It's times like these that I wish I had a secondary freezer to stock meat and meals. Alas, all I have is a small, overly-stuffed freezer right now. I'm pretty sure all of the food is blocking the freezing cold air from moving through, too. Oh… Continue reading Chicken & Bean Freezer Burritos

Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
One of my absolute favorite fast food meals in the world is a bowl from Chipotle. When you're on the go, or in a pinch, nothing can quite satisfy that hunger like a bowl of delicious Mexican food. I use the same toppings everytime, too: grilled peppers and onions, pico, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.… Continue reading Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
Classic King Ranch Casserole
Let's take a break from the holiday baking, shall we? In the midst of my cookie fervor, I've been making simple dinners that will last.

It's a retro classic that has stood… Continue reading Classic King Ranch Casserole

They're easy to make, easy to… Continue reading Enchilada Meatballs
Mexican Street Corn Style Roasted Cauliflower
You should roast more vegetables. I'm a big proponent of roasting anything to make it taste better. Saute, boil, poach---no, no, no. Roasting brings out this delicate flavor and adds a char that will make it taste even better. My favorite veggie for roasting? Cauliflower. Hands down, cauliflower. Cauliflower is insanely good raw, but even… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Style Roasted Cauliflower
Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas
Fajitas are a way of life. Growing up, I knew it was going to be a good end to the day if my mom was cooking up a batch of fajitas for dinner. A sizzling hot plate of chicken fajitas with crispy peppers, onions and mushrooms was always a great dinner to be had in… Continue reading Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas
